About Lori

Lori Stevens is a Guild Certified Tellington TTouch® practitioner for dogs, cats, and other companion animals. She uses positive and gentle methods to improve the health, behavior, and performance of animals. She is certified in Small Animal (dogs and cats) Rehabilitation Massage as well as in Canine Massage by the National Board of Certification for Animal Acupressure & Massage. She is also a Reiki Master Practitioner.

Lori’s experience and approach are holistic and one of respect for animals as teachers. She continually strives to better understand the interactions among animal behavior, performance, learning, and health. Her continuing education includes conferences (e.g. APDT and Clicker Expo) and workshops on behavior, positive training, and rehabilitation techniques (e.g. Manual Ligament Therapy). She has an established companion animal practice in Seattle which offers private sessions and workshops. 

Lori and her previous dog, Emmy worked as a therapy dog/handler team and trained in agility. It was Emmy who led Lori to TTouch, positive training, and Reiki. Cassie, an Australian Shepherd adopted at two years old, was reactive to other dogs and environmental changes. Lori has been successfully using positive methods to help Cassie learn how to adjust to new situations.
