Tellington TTouch with Rescue Donkeys

Description:

Three days of immersive donkey training with the rescue donkeys at Heehaws near Eymet, Dordogne, France.  

Designed for students on the Tellington TTouch certification programme, equine professionals, or dedicated donkey enthusiasts who would like to deepen their understanding of these remarkable animals.

Over three days, you will gain hands-on experience with a variety of donkeys, each with their own personality, history, and challenges. Together, we will explore practical handling skills, communication, confidence building, and ways to help donkeys become more comfortable and cooperative in their daily care.

Who is this course for?

• Students on the Tellington TTouch Certification Programme
• Dog practitioners interested in developing observation and Tellington skills through working with an unfamiliar species
• Equine professionals seeking to expand their skills and understanding of donkeys or the Tellington approach
• Donkey owners and enthusiasts wanting to improve communication, handling, and welfare
• Anyone passionate about learning from animals and deepening their understanding of behaviour, communication, and wellbeing

No previous donkey experience is required—just curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to learn from the donkeys themselves —they are often our best teachers.
