T-touch

PUCCI students are introduced to T-touch and gentle handling techniques for animals. 

In addition to the seminar on T-touch students practice different techniques every morning before they begin their hands on training in PUCCI's real time salon and spa. 

Pucci students and staff are pictured above practicing the art of T-touch. Who wouldn't want to be a part of a massage train with a standard poodle in the lead? Although this was not exactly in the "lesson plan" it is a part of the fun environment that is encouraged at PUCCI! 

T-touch is integrated in Doga classes offered to PUCCI to students and the local community! Doga classes are yoga classes for humans that you can bring your dog to! There are moments in the class where the instructor introduces T-touch to engage yogis and invite their Dogis into the practice! The certified yoga instructor will also create an environment for adjustments and utilization of t-touch. 

There is true benefit from the interaction of human touch both between humans and with our furry companions. Scientific research shows that touch, if utilized properly, can be healing to both humans and animals.
