I am so grateful to have come across this amazing work. I have a rescue dog and was wanting to work through behaviour that has been potentially dangerous. I don’t like the idea of using force with animals and this method is based on establishing peaceful communication between the human and the animal as opposed to force or fear based training etc and the results are phenomenal. I have also personally benefited from the peace of mind used at the core of the approach and realised how so much of the time I am unwittingly engaged in high levels of thinking instead of just being. It is incredible to see how my thinking levels influence an animals and how effective reducing thinking levels to a state of a peaceful mindset is in establishing trust with your animal.
The course was advertised on instagram, which I rarely use, but Im so glad to have discovered James French there.
Watching the videos is a bit like watching a magician work, as the trust he gains from the animals and his ability to so purely communicate with them is extraordinary. Each video shows examples of James working with all different kinds of animals and it is joyful and profoundly moving to watch his powerful yet simple communication and presence have such healing and beneficial results.

I found this course to be so inspirational having initially felt it was just another course and I’d probably end up feeling disappointed like all the other courses I have tried but was pleasantly surprised to discover a whole new way of treating animals that actually worked and was so gentle in its process. I do believe that James has got a special way with animals and so glad he has brought it out to the world and the work he and Shelley are doing to help animals worldwide and teach this process to others so they can help their animals is a gift beyond measure.
I do think this is the way to treat all animals and hope that this will grow so more people are able to follow it instead of the ‘traditional’ ways that animals are trained which can leave a lot to answer for!
The videos were so heart-warming to watch but also some heart-breaking at the same time.
I feel I now have the tools to help my animals when they need it and myself which will be a beautiful journey.
Thank you so much for bringing this out into the world.

Hi all,
I just love the Trust Technique and the Trust Technique Video Course.
I have a life long membership and watch the Course at the hole for the third time now and even if I do know all the videos I detect small things or subtle hinches, which I didn´t caught watching the course the last time.
And sometimes if I´m really stressed out and annoyed , I just watch the consultations and let the Peace of Mind “drop out” of the video and let the magic work on me. :-))))
What I love about the Trust Technique is, that it is all about connection, clearity and respect and of course trust. It´s a love ly and easy way to grow personally, for yourself as well as for your animals. And it´s so successful because you allow the otherone to be as he is, not judging him but offering him a way, how to be peaceful and confident in all kind of situations. And it´s soft, kind, regarding, loveing AND easy.

All the Best and thanks for this great work :-))))

I have been very privileged to have exposed to the Trust Technique. I was taking the course for my senior cat, Woody, with multiple health problems. He was an outdoor and indoor cat. I had evenings to introduce him to the Trust Technique, and he would always curl-up to sleep on his scratch pad, after lots of brushing. Over time, he seemed to want generally desire more company from me. He had to have his tail washed daily, as his sebaceous glands required ‘squeezing’. We used butter as his reward. Usually he would run away quickly, afterwards, but after working with the Technique, he would stay and have a body scrub.
He was doing very well, taking all his medications, when one Saturday morning, his hind legs became paralyzed. He was in a lot of pain, and we sadly had him euthanized two weeks shy of his 17th year. He was so distressed with the pain and the journey to the vet, that he was panting, and I was unable to calm him at that time. However, I feel that he benefited from the Technique with the short time I had to work with him and for that I am so grateful.
I have thoroughly enjoyed all the teachings and videos, and constantly wish I had been exposed to this many years ago. However, every time I listen to the teachings and watch the videos, my heart has been touched with the beauty, sensitivity, patience and insight that James brings to animals in distress to enable them and their owners to work together as a team. The Trust Technique is compassion in action.

I have enjoyed every minute of this course from start to finish, it’s such a simple teqnique and the kindest way to help an animal to learn, it’s also very beneficial to humans as well by helping you to work through some of the thoughts that may be blocking you and creating a lovely connection with an animal.
I’ve learnt such alot about why animals behave the way they do and how they think. Thank you so much for giving us the Trust Technique.
