"We currently have a little feral rat, Esme, who had been living wild. She was brought in by a cat belonging to someone local to us. TTouch has been really useful to me when dealing with her, and I've been using toothbrushes and paintbrushes and other 'tools' to hopefully make her a little less over-sensitive to touch. She will now tolerate gentle stroking from bare fingers and will take treats from us, when previously she would sit hunched in a ball, hissing and attacking anything which came near her. So Esme says thank you too!"

"Pedro had been with me for several months when I noticed he was becoming increasingly upset about being left with my mother whilst I was at work. I had heard some years ago about Tellington Touch and thought it would be worth a try. A few days later Lesleyann came round to see us and began his therapy. A combination of different techniques has certainly helped his confidence and now he is much more relaxed about me not being there all the time. We especially appreciate Lesleyann’s kind, gentle and caring approach, so different to my previous experience of dog behaviourists who only seem interested in establishing complete control over your companion. I would heartily recommend Lesleyann and Tellington Touch."

"We use the [TTouch] techniques to relax Molly. We do it on an evening, just as she's starting to slow down, and to be honest I think she absolutely loves it. She’ll lie back and get pampered to death, loving the face work and the ears. For us it was certainly time well spent."

"TTouch has been amazing for my two bunnies April and Hazel. Both are rescue rabbits and had a bad start in life. Before I adopted them they were very hard to handle and April was outwardly aggressive and would scratch and bite if approached. Catching and picking them up was a nightmare and was as stressful for me as it was for them. TTouch has really helped them change their behaviour and expectation of what hand contact means and they are now completely different bunnies. They come when called, follow me around, enjoy being petted and TTouched and are very easy to handle and pick up. Thank you Lesley for all your amazing work."

"We’ve always owned dogs and enjoyed walking however we cannot have a dog of our own at the moment so we became dog walkers for our neighbour. However when we agreed to walk Clay we didn’t realize what a monumental task it would become. Clay was wild and constantly pulled on the lead; we didn’t dare let him off, as we feared he would take off and we would never get him back. We had heard of the Tellington TTouch and knew of Lesleyann through a friend so we asked if she could help.
"Lesleyann not only helped us stop Clay’s pulling using really effective and gentle leading techniques but she also taught us ways to exercise Clay mentally and improve his balance and self awareness using the ‘confidence course’. We now have a ‘labyrinth’ and poles set up in our garden and walk him through it daily. Walking him is now the pleasure it should be and with him being a lot more focused now (another benefit of the confidence course) we have been able to work on his recall and can now let him off lead."

"Lexy is an eight year old energetic border collie who has always been terrified of fireworks, thunder and lightening. The progress that she made after 2-3 sessions of TTouch was extraordinary; she went from being a trembling, panting recluse behind the sofa to more or less her usual self as she is when the noise pollution is absent. She will now come and sit with me quite calmly and wander around the house with me in a thunderstorm. I feel very guilty that Lexy has gone through years of distress and regret not stumbling across TTouch sooner. She still has a few more sessions to undergo to tackle walking alongside traffic but she is definitely making progress."
