Truly inspirational and what I have been looking for for many many years. The level of communication between myself and my horses has truly amazed me and transformed my very sensitive horse. I am learning all the time and can’t thank you enough for the amazing work you do and for giving this gift to us all. Thank you James and Shelley.

I started the video course out of curiosity. As I watched the videos I was, and I still am, impressed about the clear structure of the Trust Technique. It helps a lot to know how to help an animal to relax, not just that you know the animal should be relaxed. With the different videos, I could see many ways to apply the Trust Technique. So I think it is very good that there is a lot of videos.
Using the forum was a bit slow but the topics, questions and answers were interesting to read.
I enjoyed the Trust Technique Video Course and I am happy I bought it.

I learned so much and am so grateful. I grew up on a farm so around so many animals, but wish I had known this then. I have a feral cat that is now 7 and was still skittish around me. Although her sister was fine and loved to be petted. After practicing this method she now rubs against my legs. Loves to be patted and even runs up to me to greet me. She is still skittish if I move too quickly around her, such as standing from sitting. But she is getting better each day, I know it is small steps. I am so thankful.
On another note, I very much wanted to take this course due to having a granddaughter with fairly severe autism. I have taught my daughter this method and she has used it several times and technique seems to quiet my granddaughter down. If she does it once she quiets after meltdown, it effects her in that she laid down with her blanket. She is practicing it while she is playing etc. I am hoping that it might be helpful in preventing the complete meltdowns that autistic children have.
I have just signed up for your communications course and I look forward to learning it. I also plan to again go thru the initial videos again, and others.
Thank you so much for reminding me how very much we can help our “best friends”.

I am deeply touched by the Trust Technique and impressed by its power. The present moment helps me personally a lot in my work as a body therapist – both with people and animals. In my work on the central nervous system I give the patients a lot of space, with TT this feeling is deepened even more.
Personally, TT has enabled me to find a childhood and playfulness that I was not granted as a child. I think that is why the story of Kay the bear and her friends touched me so deeply, because through TT they found their playfulness again.
I am very lucky to be part of the translation team and edit the German texts. Of course, this work also helps me to deepen my knowledge of TT, as I am once again intensively dealing with the texts and videos. Wonderful.
And I think my journey will continue and I will do the TT Practitioner.
Dear Shelley, dear James, dear TT Team, it’s great that you exist! Thank you so much for your work and for sharing your knowledge.

In deep and ongoing gratitude to James, Shelley and the Trust technique team. From the first time I saw the team at The Donkey Sanctuary to today and onwards it has made gentle yet powerful changes to my own everyday life aswell as that of my animal friends. I hadn’t realised that I’ve been searching for this for 30 years since leaving the Equine industry,
The most obvious benefit so far is that my cat no longer bites me, albeit gently, to communicate with me as he no longer has to have that level of frustration and is altogether very calm as remarked upon by the vet only this week when he cooperatively sat on the scales when she indicated them!
However my favourite ongoing changes are being made by me in response to the techniques when used for people.
The delivery via video course in small easy to follow sections works incredibly well and browsing the sections surprisingly seemed to show often an issue in my own life an animal was helped with.
The support of the forums and truly welcoming and friendly participants also enhances the learning experience.
I’m greatly looking forward to continued experience and hopefully becoming the dream .
