Animal Companions
ANIMAL COMPANIONS
Donna offers neuromuscular lessons to animals as well as to their owners who are interested in learning a vocabulary of touch to confidently interact with their horses, dogs, cats, etc. Potential benefits for the animal:
improved body mechanics to heal from pain/injury
reduced or nearly eliminated anxiety
rejuvenation for senior animals
improved learning of new skills
deeper bond with the owner/caregiver
a more comfortable or joyful visceral and emotional sense of self
These hands-on skills also benefit those who engage with animals in an educational/work setting. The individual gains more confidence in how to interact with the animal and gains improved responsiveness/results. The animal learns how to think rather than just react.
These lessons are based in the Tellington Method, also known as Ttouch, which was developed by legendary horsewoman Linda Tellington-Jones. Ttouch is practiced internationally with great acclaim by owners, vets, trainers, breeders, and animal lovers.
