TTouch Bodywork Mini Course

A short course on understanding & applying TTouch to calm, relax & rebalance your Romanian 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

Meesh Masters is the founder and business owner at The Dog's Point of View and specialises in working with Romanian & Overseas Rescue dogs, providing educational resources for their adopters via remote one to one consultations, home study courses, webinars, training programs and her popular Adopters Coaching Group - The number one resource anywhere on the internet for Romanian and Overseas rescue dog information and support.

After becoming involved with Romanian Rescue dogs in 2015, both as a support advisor to new adopters and a fosterer herself, she was led to look deeper into the thinking, feeling, emotional depths of these dogs when things began feeling different about them.

She soon realised how the Romanian dogs were different to British born dogs, that their genetics and bloodline, being from street dogs and dogs that had evolved through more natural selection, meant they seemed to be more in tune with their instinctive nature's. She went on to learn that she needed to adjust the ways she interacted with and worked with these dogs, to accommodate their more instinctive and cautious characteristics. It became very evident that these dogs responded differently to 'training' in the conventional sense at times.

And so it became her passion to share everything she was learning, and is still learning, about the Romanian Dog's Point of View with as many adopters as possible. Today she is Patron of two Romanian Rescue Charities, Cloud K9 Rescue and Annie's Trust, she is also advisor to various other rescue organisations. She runs a course for qualified trainers, The Romanian Rescue Pro Trainers program, to help other canine professionals understand more about working with Romanian & foreign rescue dogs and their families, as many of them can be quite complex compared to working with British dogs.  She has also launched an invaluable education & resource program for rescue organisations rehoming Romanian & Eastern European dogs, to help them & their volunteers to understand how to correctly support their adopters if they encounter basic problems. 

Meesh is also now a certified Dynamic Dog Practitioner which qualifies her to complete detailed assessments of dogs in the areas of biomechanics, gait, movement & posture to determine whether there are any potential pain or discomfort issues that could be contributing to behaviour.  This is an invaluable qualification to have given that her entire business focuses solely on supporting and working with adopters and canine professionals of predominantly Romanian but also other European street, rescue & shelter dogs.  With the poor start many of these dogs have in life, along with the potential for them to have sustained untreated injuries, abuse and trauma prior to adoption, being able to assess for pain in a totally hands off, non-intrusive way is often the only way they can be assessed.
