Offering a positive, nonforceful approach to training, this instructional guidebook explains how to apply the TTouch Method—a training function based on circular movements of the fingers and hands—to raising happy, healthy puppies. Used by dog owners, trainers, breeders, and veterinarians, as well as in animal shelters around the world, the TTouch Method aids puppy owners in solving common behavioral problems and in training their pet in a stress-free manner. With exercises designed around overcoming obstacles, this guide provides the resources for improving a puppy’s mental and physical health while creating a lasting bond between owner and companion.

Venue guidelines for seminar participants
Please place mats under crates.
Dogs on Leash: All dogs must remain on leash when on the premises, unless working within a designated training area.
Dog Exercise Area: The dog exercise area includes the grass section on the side and behind the building. Please do not let your dog exercise in the yards of neighboring homes or businesses.
Picking Up Waste: Owners must pick up after their dogs (an outdoor waste can and a scoop will be available). Failure to do so jeopardizes Taurus Training's ability to continue conducting business, so violators will be banned from the premises.
Dog Health: To provide a safe environment, dogs brought on the premises must be healthy and current in their vaccinations. Owners must provide proof of current vaccinations at check-in.
Noise: To allow Taurus Training to be a good neighbor, please keep noise outside of the building to a minimum.
Smoking: There is no smoking allowed in the building. Smoking is allowed outside. Please help keep our ground clean by disposing of cigarettes in the appropriate containers.
