Kaizer Drake
Letter from Kaizer Drake
Dear Scotty, I am sure you will remember me, I am Kaizer Drake, a Weimaraner and I will be 5 years old on the 28th April 2009. We came to you for puppy and adolescent training. Mum needed the training more than me. However when she learnt not to be so anxious and lowered her expectations of herself and me we took to puppy training like "bees to honey". Mum was told by people that the Weimaraner was a narotic, off the wall and spaso breed and because that is not how she saw me and not the kind of dog she wanted, she 'invested' in me and the best gift she gave to me and herself was our puppy/adolescent training.
I am happy to tell you that I am a loving, gentle, disciplined and well behaved gentleman. Mom keeps up with all the things she was taught and I must say other than not behaving myself occasionally on a lead, I am one happy and content Weimaraner.
I miss you lots, give my love to Brady, Licks and Wags, Kaizer.

I thoroughly enjoyed the |TTouch workshop. I felt I've bonded more with my dog and that Sparkey has calmed down and is more relaxed. Tina Farrell - Ireland |

Cassey-Fizz-Pop & Cherokee
|
Cassey Fizz-Pop from when I got her as a six week old puppy had something wrong with her spine or something. Not noticeable when sitting or standing, but when walking or running, her head would be at a fourty-five degree angle to her body to the right. After doing TTouch at one year's old, for a week, whatever was wrong was rectified and her head is now straight when she runs or walks and has remained right ever since. She also used to chew everything to shreds if I went out even during the day but never while I was there. This hasn't happened since I started working with Scotty and also I ensure she has at least one thing like rawhide to chew on if I go out. Cherokee had problems with fear of other dogs after my other dog Phoenix was mutilated and killed by two Pitbulls. After 3 sessions with Scotty and doing TTouch on her, she has overcome this fear beautifully and now goes up to other dogs without barking or showing fear on walks in the park. She also has a major fear of any loud noises but especially fireworks. This 2009 New Year although she still shivered and shook, she did not go into blind panic as she did in the past. She is also much calmer during thunderstorms and her recovery to normal is very quick. TTouch, behavious modification, and the wrap and everything else all helped to accomplish this in a very short space of time. Both of them also used to jump on my parents to say hello which they hated. After teaching my parents how use the correct behavious as well, my parents can now cope with them and they don't jump up to say hello to my parents. I have learnt a tremendous amount as well and they respond to my commands much better now as well. Thanks Scotty! |
Di, Derek & Rudi - Aggession & Nervousness - Behaviour Modification & TTouch:- The difference after just one visit was remarkable. I think Derek and I are very good students! Both dogs have improved immeasurably and we really thank you for teaching us TTouch.
Linda & Joe - Behaviour Modification & TTouch- Fear of thunder and loud noises:- Jo is almost back to normal! We had a storm last week, I must say, it was'nt a bad one, but he did not react at all. Plus, Alex and I were walking him last week and a silly teenager was setting off crackers, he did not react at all! So it has all been worth it. I do the TTouch every day - have missed one only. So thank you ver much, it has all been extremely worth while.
FORA (Friends of Rescued Animals - TTouch Workshop
The Tellington TTouch course was finalized on Sunday and was throughly enjoyed by all. We once again thank Scottie and her team for all their kindness, compassion and for all they taught us. Our dogs can certainly benefit by what we have learnt.
Natalie, Peter & Molly - Behaviour Modification & TTouch:- Before Molly had the benefit of TTouch she was impossible. She was excitable, agitated and restless and would bark uncontrollably at strangers and visitors alike. In fact I received a complaint from my neighbours which spurred me on to get help. With visitors whe was a nightmare barking, growling and being over protective of all her possessions. She became particularly bad when food was involved. It got to the stage where I could'nt ake her anywhere or have her around gusts. This really upset me as I wanted a dog that I could include in my day to day life, who I could train and enjoy. Molly was also very possessive of me and would not leave my side. I must admit I was close to giving up.
However once Scotty had had a few session with Molly I noticed a change immediately. She became far more relaxed, not rushing around in her agitated state. She began to leave my side and spent time in the garden or exploring on her own, by the end of her sessions she even went galavanting in a strange environment with strange dogs around and I battled to get her to come back to me!! She also allowed other people to take her for walks. Molly's behaviour towards visitors has also improved dramatically, so much so that my family and friends want to know what I've done to her - she's no longer gets called Mad Molly. She is even more accepting of strangers-while having a quote for a new kitchen she hardly paid any attention to the three strange me in the house! I am also happy to report that her barking has improved.
Thanks so much to Scotty for her patience, perserverance and belief in the benefits of TTouch, when she first told me about TTouch I must admit I was a little skeptical, however I am definately converted and I cannot believe the change it has made to both our lives. As a schoolteacher I can often be found rubbing the tips of over excited childrens ears-it worked for Molly, why not for them?!
