An Evening with Linda Tellington-Jones, internationally renowned teacher,
author, and visionary founder of Tellington TTouch

Friday March 7th 7:00pm-9:00pm
SOLD OUT

This will be Linda's first visit to North Carolina in over 15 years, and the APS of Orange County is proud to have such a wonderful special guest!  Linda Tellington-Jones will speak about and demonstrate the Tellington TTouch method with APS shelter dogs. The Tellington Method was first created 4 decades ago as a system of animal training, healing and communication that allows people to relate to animals in a deeper, more compassionate way -- a way that furthers inter-species connection and honors the body, mind and spirit of both animals and their people. The Tellington Method utilizes a variety of techniques of touch, movement and body language to affect behavior, performance, and health, and to
increase an animal’s willingness and ability to learn in a painless and anxiety-free environment.

Speckles - Female;
1 year


Personality Profile
: Hi!  My name is "Speckles!"  I am a mixed breed female who will be 1 year old on March 10!  My sister Minnie and I have been in foster care since we were born.  We came to the APS in hopes of finding a family to call our own.  We are very sweet and loving.  We have always been kept in the home so we are house-trained and crate-trained.  We are great with other dogs, cats, and children.  Our hobbies include playing with lots of toys, running and walking on a leash or in a back yard, playing fetch, and cuddling on the couch!  Mainly we just want to be wherever you are!  We are very energetic and need lots of attention and exercise.  We do not require being adopted together, in fact, it would be wonderful to be top dog!  Come see us at the APS and give us a chance to make your house a home!
