Linda Tellington-Jones

The pioneering work of Linda Tellington-Jones, PhD (Hon) has its roots in a philosophy that sees all beings – humans and animals alike – as reflections of a Divine Whole. The Tellington TTouch® Method was first created four decades ago as a system of animal training, healing and communication that allows people to relate to animals in a deeper, more compassionate way -- a way that furthers inter-species connection and honors the body, mind and spirit of both animals and their people. The Tellington Method utilizes a variety of techniques of touch, movement and body language to affect behavior, performance, and health, and to increase an animal’s willingness and ability to learn in a painless and anxiety-free environment.

“ Just wanted to drop you a note on how TTouch has benefited my horse Harry since I took the Tellington training at Bitterroot Ranch in June. Harry seems more cooperative as far as his work. He is more confident on trail rides. He does not dance around on the cross ties. He stands patiently. I have increased the length of each cross tie to allow Harry to move freely, lower his head, and decrease the tension in his neck and back. He seems to really enjoy the mouth work, and hands on experience. Given our busy lives, most of the time I would rush from work to the stable and spend the little time I had before riding cleaning him. Being gray (he certainly requires more cleaning maintenance than dark colored horses). I now take that extra time to work with TTouch, so he now anticipates a more pleasurable experience than just the usual cleaning ritual. My riding instructor has also seen a difference in him as well. I gave her my TTouch video to view. She has reviewed in several times and is now using the Tellington method on her horse as well. I just wanted to tell everyone how TTouch has made a difference in mine and Harry’s life. Thank You, Linda Tellington Jones! Regards, Lois Rosenberg

“ I watched Linda work on a student’s horse at the Equifest of Kansas. The horse was a 10-year-old gelding – Q4, Arab, Paint cross. He has a history of nervousness, tight back and flipping his nose in his bridle while under saddle – even on very loose reins. Linda spent about 15-20 minutes working him with TTouches and through the labyrinth. She then rode him with the balance rein and training bit. She was out of time and so only rode the horse a few minutes. She then stayed on him and rode him down to the barn to show his owner the difference of how he was going. His owner was too nervous to try riding him with the four reins and balance rein, so I got on the horse to try it. For the first time, the horse was holding himself in the carriage I know he’s capable of. His back had come up and felt like he had grown 4 under me. His frame was round and he was feather light in my hand. With the lightest of touch on the top rein and balance rein, he responded. He was like melted butter! I didn’t want to stop. It was a WONDERFUL experience! Thank you. Alexandra
