Although she spends the majority of her time traveling and teaching, she enjoys spending time at her farm in Alcove, QC where you will usually find her tending to the garden.

Lucie Leclerc

Lucie Leclerc Lucie’s 3rd birthday gift demand of a real horse with a stable to live in, in the backyard of their suburban home was a foreshadowing of her desire to be with animals! Since she did not get the horse, after a bit of negotiation with her parents, she brought home feral cats and lost dogs instead. She has shared her life with animals ever since.

At a time when she was looking for an alternative approach to help one of her dogs with a health issue, Lucie heard about the Tellington TTouch. After reading a book she opted to go and see if it was just a beautiful story or if the method was as great in practice as on paper. Definitively the teachers were walking their talk and she just could not stop going to trainings from then on. As a TTouch and TTEAM student she never felt judged in her process of learning and to this day she applies that principle with animals and people alike. Her passion is looking for solutions and possibilities instead of problems, in animals as well as in people. Lucie brought TTouch and TTEAM to French speaking people in Quebec and she is currently our only French-speaking Instructor.
