I just started The video Course and am very impressed with this technique.. I am hopeful that this course will positively impact me, as well as my dogs and cat.

Wauw. What an eye-opener. So easy and logical. I enjoyed it. This is the way I was looking for. Thank you!

I want to thank James and Shelly for this video course. The way you help animals and humans to get peaceful with what ever happened in their life is just wonderful. It helped me a lot to get a deeper understanding of myself and my animals (a horse and a cat). Bothe of my animals had a difficult childhood. And so I have a lot to learn how to deepen our relationship. How to lead myself and my animals through the mindful regard. Actually it took me a while to understand what the mindful regard means. by watching all the videos I started to understand more and more. And to be honest at the beginning I just wanted to learn, understand and practice as much as possible and then I realised that this was exactly my pattern. I suffered my hole life of being stressed and pushed by my father to do everything faster and better. And I always thought why can´t I do things in my space? Why? And then I forgot that it was me how continued that pattern. I did´nt know how to stop it. And when I tried to it got even worse and stressed me. But starting with the TT also for humans it changed my thinking and it still takes time but I am on my way and I do understand more and more about the animals space and how to regard them and myself. It is a wonderful way. The way I was not only looking for actually I was seeking for it. And when I can release my anxiety and past I can get a deeper understanding first of myself and then for my animals. Thank you for you being with us and our animals. All the best Christiane

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 .
