On a morning walk with Hobbes, my Wheaten Terrier, I met Sophia, a beautiful, calm 6 ½ year old black lab with Heidi. Sophia walks beautifully off leash and was off leash as usual. As we approached, Heidi put the leash on Sophia which is very unusual. We stopped and talked. As Hobbes approached Sophia, she jumped backwards and barked angrily. She was not happy. She was a scared dog. Heidi told me that recently a dog bit Sophia on the ear. Since the ear bite, Sophia, a very confident dog, is afraid of other dogs. I said I could help her and gave Heidi a business card.

About a month later, Heidi called me and said Sophia needed my help. I worked a hour with Heidi and Sophia using Tellington TTouch® techniques. Before I left, Heidi was doing the TTouches® and Sophia was enjoying the touches.

Now fast forward two months. Hobbes and I just crossed the street into Linden Hills Park and a black lab came running to us. The tail was wagging and it was playtime! I realized it was Sophia and yelled to Heidi, “When did this happen?” Heidi replied, “A week and a half after seeing you!” Heidi used the techniques I taught her. Since our appointment, Sophia is back to her confident self and is happy to see and play with dogs again. I walked home with a huge smile after receiving the gift of another happy dog due to TTouch®!
