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.
