Boston Tea Party, 2010!

 

TouchNpaws was invited to participate in Boston Buddies - Southern California Boston Terrier Rescue's largest fundraiser of the year!   I have found that I absolutely love doing events and talking to people about the power of Tellington TTouch and was very excited to be a sponsor.  Events are fun in and of themselves but when one benefits rescue that is all the better.

This is a young puppy that has the typical excited terrier personality and really isn't connected with his back feet.  I showed his owners how adding scrunchies to his legs would remind him they were there.  He tends to lunge forward with purpose and excitement to get where he wants to go.  I demonstrated the "Balance Leash Plus" using his own leash.  The family walked away with new skills they could put into practice right then and there.

 

I also had the pleasure of working with a service dog.  This little guy helps his human with balance concerns.  The problem is sometimes the dog will jump up or get overly excited.  I fitted him with a Thundershirt and the calming effect was immediate.    Using my demo dog "Jake" I showed how the "Super Balance Leash" would help bring the dog into balance and help with his jumping up.

 

Being that terriers are by nature high energy dogs and some suffer from stress and anxiety the Thundershirts were a big hit.  Here is one little dog that is trying on a Thundershirt for the first time.  You can see the concern on his face but he quickly adapted to the shirt and became quite relaxed.

The attendees were very interested in hearing how Tellington TTouch could help their specific dog's situation.  Many times there was actually a line of folks waiting their turn to ask questions.  Many, many dogs walked away with Thundershirts, a new harness, a lead or all of the above!  

What TTouch demo would be complete without....well, TTouches!  Here is an adorable French Bulldog that stopped by for some relaxing TTouches.

We had a great day teaching people how they can help their dogs physical and emotional balance and well being.  Thank you to each and everyone that shared their day and their dog with me.
