I have only watched a few videos in the course and have already learned so much to use. I am really looking forward to this course.

I first came across the trust technique years ago when I rescued two horses who needed something other than the usual ‘do as I say or else’ routine. All of the horsey people around me were insisting that I just needed to be firm, keep tension on the reigns, let them know who was boss. But, being as strong willed as my horses, I decided to try something new and luckily came across the trust technique which was everything I needed to build trust and have a wonderful, mutually pleasing relationship with my horses. They became partners and forget tension on the reigns, we had such a great bond, I only had to think about what I wanted and could easily reassure them if they were worried about something.
Since then the trust technique has helped me rehabilitate 100’s of dogs and cats as well as easily help wildlife and the odd random addition to the family like goats and pigs. It’s a universal language which seems to get us on the same wave-length.
From the wilful to the fearful, the trust technique allowed me to be both gentle whilst exuding a calm confidence which inspired the animals to follow me, to guide them, dare I say – lead them!
I would 100% recommend the trust technique to animal professionals (I personally know groomers, trainers, veterinarians and animal shelter volunteers who use the trust technique with great success), any pet owner, people who love to interact with nature, farmers and even people who suffer from anxiety because it is amazingly beneficial for people as well.
A huge thank you to James and Shelley for creating these courses and doing their bit to be the change the world needs to see.

The Trust Technique Video course has helped me with my traumatized cat whom I was not able to pet. Now he is sleeping with me and wakes me up every morning. I ‘ve worked my horse to (to embark in a van) and now her pas trauma of having been pushed by a tractor is almost gone. It still takes some time to embark her but she gets better everyday. I’m even thinking of becoming a practitioner. the TT is the remedy for most problems and I think it necessary when you are responsible for animals.

I am very much enjoying this course, so much so I would like to become a practitioner. But first things first, I am using the technique every day with my horses and I have certainly seen my relationship with my old mare has deepened. She never really wanted to have very much to do with me and would turn away if I went to stroke her. I think she has been carrying a lot of trauma from her early years being trained as a trotter/pacer. Yesterday though was the first time in all the years Ive had her (20years), that she followed me around the paddock. She wanted a scratch and positioned herself so that the spot she wants me to scratch is right next to me touching me. Its just amazing, I love her so much.

I have a great pyrenees mix and a pittie mix. After we moved to a new house more than a year ago, they became increasingly reactive to other dogs and people. What I thought would be a quiet street in the back of the housing development, turns out to be the busiest street in the development. Constant cars, people, dogs, stray cats, and deer passing in front of the house or through the wooded area behind. It got to a point where the dogs seemed to be barking near constantly and I work from home so that made meetings problematic. Sleep was right out the window. I was overwhelmed and at my wits end when I found the Trust Technique. And wow, what a difference it made. I’m a week in and my dogs have stopped barking at almost everything. People, animals, cars, construction noises at the end of the street; they could care less. Still working on the UPS guy. I feel calmer, less stressed and less anxious and so do the dogs. And how wonderful to sleep through the night again. Looking forward to finishing the course and seeing where it will take us.
