For those who won’t read much further: I warmly recommend this course because it offers new insights into our relationship with animals and a pragmatic method for creating such a relationship. Personally, I took this course not just because it sounds “cool” to have a trusting relationship with my dog, but out of necessity, because she’s very difficult. I expect the TT will help us, because it seems to go to the heart of the problem.
Rather than a classical course, the TT video course feels more like an apprenticeship in which we follow James and Shelley, learning how to feel and see. The spoken text is easy to understand. James speaks slowly and clearly, attracting our attention to important points. (In the Bear videos, I couldn’t always hear his interlocutor well enough). The order of the videos is, I believe, more or less chronological. The structure of the learning programme is achieved by recommending a viewing order. The forums are very useful to ask questions as we experiment with the method with our own animals.
The TT video course probably needs to be viewed several times, discovering a little more every time. In the first round, I was very impatient to have seen it all. I nevertheless took about 3 months. Now, I feel I can relax, take a step back, and view it again!
Although the first round of the TT video course does not give me the impression I have mastered the TT, it has helped me become a little calmer (good for my husband, too!), and I am beginning to see some change in my dog. The method is founded on simple principles, and it can be practiced: it’s not magic. This is an aspect I greatly appreciate. Nevertheless, I believe its application requires commitment (regular practice, viewing and reviewing the videos, TT for humans) to get a feeling for timing, and “messages” from my dog. Honing my listening and observing skills seems paramount.
Many thanks to James and Shelley for setting up this course online, which is the only way I would have been able to follow it at the moment. And thanks also to the practitioners who took the time and trouble to answer my questions.

The trust technique in a word, outstanding. The ability to learn to be peaceful is extraordinary and so fulfilling to me as a person .

I just sent a message to JAMES but not sure if that went to the right place.
I’ve just watched the Healing module and think this should be part of all healing training courses for humans. The point about getting present (reducing thinking) before attempting to give healing is so crucial. Just beautiful to see the animals softening and calming and receiving and changing…Thank you. I’m not communicating much, but I’m really enjoying this course. Much of it is familiar (albeit applied very specifically in a new context) as I did a 7 year training in satipatthāna-vipassana (1973-1980), and have been a meditator ever since. My first teacher (John Garrie) was a gifted healer, so much healing knowledge was woven into our training, such as regular distance healing sessions.

I appreciate with all my heart this course because of his message, so deep and important for all the sentient beings: it is really what I was looking for . Thank you so much!

I am enjoying this course and learning so much.
I do so much and then let in sink into my Physic,
I am really pleased to now see some men taking part as it has been mostly women working with James.
I will do the Animal communication after I finish this and I still have quite a bit to go.
Thank you so much, James is such an inspiration and the animals love him, I am aiming to achieve to be the best I can be.
I have always loved horses and have had very little to do with them, what beautiful sensitive creations they are.
My love and best wishes
