So far this has been beyond great! I purchased my first horse in 1999 and have had several throughout the years. We still own the first two we purchased. A 25 year old Arabian mare and a 26 year old quarter horse gelding. I wish I had known about the Trust Technique 22 years ago. We currently own four horses and I was skeptical…but hopeful that they would respond like the horses in the videos… as they have had a lot of years of me implementing training methods. Not harsh, but not putting the needs of the horses before my own ego and agenda. The first day I played with it with Bella, a mare who was born on our farm, I took her into the scary arena, which she has never laid down or rolled in since we moved here a year ago. I practiced keeping my mind quiet from the moment I went to get her from the pasture. I offered for her to lay down, thinking if she did she would roll and then get back up right away. But, she stayed laying down with me for 30 minutes. In subsequent play sessions in there she has done a lot of yawning, blowing and licking. In our last session she did spins on the pedestal and rolled a big ball back and forth with me. I have also been taking TT out to my herd. The third time, three of the four laid all the way down, flat, out cold! It is also going very well with my gelding, Uhtred, who I was given 2 years ago. He’s a highly sensitive, anxious horse who had problems with his first thee owners. We have made some good progress but TT is the piece of the puzzle we were missing. He was the first to come lay down but the most anxious when I take him away from the herd or any of the herd leaves him. We have had two really great sessions in the arena . He almost laid down…knees bent, but just couldn’t quite make it….lol. I’m so excited to have found this and eager to finish the course! I am even considering becoming certified. Thank you so much for the way you are helping us to change lives!

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.
