AN INTRODUCTION TO TTOUCH - Self-Study Mini Course

A short course on understanding & applying TTouch to calm, relax & rebalance your sensitive Romanian & overseas rescue dogs

Course Summary

TTouch is a modality that was developed over 35 years ago by internationally recognised animal expert Linda Tellington Jones.  TTouch recognises that physical, emotional and mental balance are inextricably linked and that it is therefore possible to influence emotional responses and behaviour by relieving tension in the body.

One of the things that TTouch is excellent for is helping animals relax and reduce stress, but it can also do much more than that.  TTouch can be really useful in helping a dog settle in a new home or in helping relax your dog before, during and after Vet visits and indeed any distressing or upsetting experience.  

TTouch can also help to speed up your dogs recovery rate following a reactive outburst and when used appropriately, in conjunction with a behaviour modification  programme, can also help them learn to habituate in situations they may find concerning or stressful (think dogs that are fearful of visitors to the home, traffic, other dogs etc.)  

I have personally found TTouch to be something that is very helpful in working with Romanian dogs who can be over sensitive, easily overwhelmed, anxious, nervous and often reactive.  The majority of clients I have worked with and included TTouch as a part of their program have reported that their dogs LOVED it and that it helped bring about increased calmness, improved relaxation and deeper sleep, all of which are a super important part of supporting a dog who is finding life a bit challenging.

The beauty of TTouch is that it can be applied to anything with a nervous system, and of course that includes us! So any animals you may have can benefit from TTouch from the smallest to the largest.

Meesh Masters

Hello! My name is Meesh Masters, founder of The Dog’s Point of View, and I specialise in working with Romanian and overseas rescue dogs. My mission is to help adopters and canine professionals truly understand and support these incredible dogs through one-to-one consultations, home study courses, webinars, workshops, and my Adopters Coaching Group - the leading online resource for Romanian and overseas rescue dog support.

My journey with these dogs began in 2015 when I started fostering and supporting new adopters. It quickly became clear that Romanian dogs were different from UK-born dogs. Their lineage - shaped by street life and natural selection - means they rely heavily on instinct and don’t always respond to conventional training methods.

Learning to work with them in a way that respected their nature changed everything for me, and I’ve been sharing that knowledge ever since.

Today, I’m proud to be Patron of Cloud K9 Rescue and Annie’s Trust and to advise several other rescue organisations. I also run the Romanian Rescue Pro Trainers Program for qualified trainers and have developed an education and resource program for rescues rehoming Romanian and Eastern European dogs, helping volunteers and adopters feel more confident in supporting them.

Everything I do is about helping adopters and professionals work with these dogs, in a way that truly aligns with who and how they are as individuals, rather than ignoring their ingrained natural instincts, so they can thrive in their new homes.
