BW202 - Tellington TTouch^TM Groundwork ::

A sense of achievement builds a dog's confidence just as it does a human's.   Tellington TTouch^TM Groundwork in the Confidence Course develops awareness and confidence as animals work slowly and deliberate through a series of tasks resembling the obstacles on a confidence course.  The work enhances focus and concentration, allows behavior patterns such as aggression and timidity to be overcome, and improves physical and mental balance. The Labyrinth , a hallmark of the Tellington TTouch^TM method, improves mobility, coordination, cooperation and balance as the dog and human in partnership negotiate a series of serpentine turns.

An important part of the Groundwork component of Tellington TTouch involves working with the human to achieve a balanced and supple physical frame.  Equipment used with dogs in the Confidence Course, such as headcollars, harnesses, and the double-ended leash, is demonstrated in depth.
