Dear Shelley & James
I was just rewatching the video course the second time and I think I will just start over again. It makes me feel so good and I am learning so much I am awed.

The way to work with animals on such a deep level from heart to heart is just amazing. I am using the trust for myself on a daily base to work with animals their humans and my animals and it changed my whole life. I think the time is right for some new understanding between humans, animals and nature and Shelley and James are touching my heart. It feels like finally coming home, being understood and finding my missing piece.

I am also thankful for all the animals in my life who brought me an this path they where an are great teachers especially Camillo who brought me to the trust technique . We are still on our way to trust in trust.

Much love Guzi

It has been a beautiful experience to use the Trust Technique with Odin, the horse. He’s gone from being a horse that runs away at the site of a human to a horse that engages and responds with more confidence. His confidence grew enough that he was able to walk from his pen enclosure, through a dark scary barn for the first time, to find his way into his very own field (aptly renamed for him; The Field Of Life). He beautifully and confidently introduced himself to his new neighbors and even groomed the girl, Shadowfax, next store.
Bearfoot Ranch is so very grateful for the Trust Technique, it has been a life changing experience for both the practitioners and Odin.
We will be forever grateful.

I was captivated by the Trust Technique, how simple it is although not at all easy. I enjoyed working through all the videos while working with my own animals. I have noticed significant changes in my animals behaviours, particularly my dog.
It has taken me to a new, deeper level of being present and mindful. Peace has become my mantra.
I have gotten so much out of this that I definitely want to follow the practitioner path and will sign up for it soon.
Thank you James and Shelley for your beautiful work.

Lieber James, liebe Shelley, liebes TT-Team!
Danke für diesen wunderbaren Kurs und eure so wertvolle Arbeit! Jeder, der mit Tieren oder auch Menschen arbeitet , sollte diese Methode kennenlernen. In ihr steckt ein unglaubliches Potenzial die Welt für Tiere und Menschen zu einem friedlicheren Ort zu machen.
Für mich persönlich ist es eine große Bereicherung James bei der Arbeit zusehen zu dürfen, da es mich sehr in meiner eigenen Art und Weise Tieren zu begegnen bestärkt. Ich finde es sehr hilfreich zu sehen, dass auch bei James die Tiere nicht wie auf Knopfdruck friedlich sind, sondern erst die Kombination aus Frieden/Präsens, Geduld und Ausdauer den Erfolg bringt.
Ich werde den Kurs jetzt nochmal neu starten und arbeite gleichzeitig an meinen Englischkenntnissen (und Ersparnissen), um irgendwann vielleicht die Weiterbildung zum Practitioner machen zu können…
Herzliche Grüße Barbara

Dear James, dear Shelley, dear TT team!

Thank you for this wonderful course and your valuable work! Everyone who works with animals or people should get to know this method. It has incredible potential to make the world a more peaceful place for animals and people.

For me personally, it is a great enrichment to be able to watch James at work, as it really encourages me in my own way of dealing with animals. I find it very helpful to see that with James, too, the animals are not peaceful at the push of a button, but that only the combination of peace/presence, patience and perseverance brings success.

I will now start the course again and at the same time work on my English skills (and savings) so that I can perhaps do the further training to become a practitioner at some point…

Kind regards, Barbara

This course really opens the soul to view the inside of an individual’s life, both animal and human. It reminds me how important it is to slow down, breathe, empty, and tune into the present moment. All the consultations support the same process of listening and tuning into the Now. The individual cases with their unique personalities, relationships, and situations illustrate how universally applicable the Trust Technique is.

The scope and number of sessions is truly expansive. The access to James’ insights and strategy in a step by step process is truly educational. I found myself participating in many of the cases, focusing on a spot, watching the events on the screen, and using the footage simultaneously as education and inspiration.

Along the lines of inspiration, I want to say that the energy James and Shelley embody and transmit throughout the filmed sessions is illuminating and transforming. Watching each session is highly kin to engaging in actual meditation. The effects are healing in every moment.

I have learned specific strategies to calm and focus myself and my dog. The program hones and reemphasizes the simple, profound act of surrendering to the moment and receiving its gifts of sensitive awareness to the environment and its inhabitants. Because I am so deeply conditioned to race anywhere outside the stillness of now, I need continuous reinforcement to retrain my mind to the more peace-oriented state. The Trust-Technique course allows me to begin at the beginning from the first to the last video. Its message is timelessly valuable not only in relation to others, but as importantly, to myself.

Bless all of you who contributed to this masterful display of the numerous possibilities available to those of us who will simply slow down and allow this beautiful healing process to occur.

Thank you for coloring my world with love!
