I have deep appreciation for Shelley and James French; the service they have performed building an organization / a website / a curriculum / a network of practicioner-mentors and not least of all James' very beautiful reduction and simplification of how to do the work. This Trust Technique has to be among the top five most important discoveries I have made in my life, thanks to its unfailing simplicity. Trust Technique is essential.

I Have loved every moment of the course thank you so much for sharing with us

I started it years ago, but at that time it was difficult to apply because I still hadn't been able to connect with a very important part of myself. Today I revisited the course from a different perspective, and I feel confident in what I have learned.
I'm very happy I did this course.
Thanks

This course is aligned with everything I need for fulfilling relationships, no matter the species! Using TT's non-coercive, slow, connection-first principles, I was able to raise a young horse whose natural curiosity, confidence and wish to engage positively remains intact . In the past I've relied on massage and intuitive touch to bring a horse's thinking levels down, but as luck/destiny would have it, my horse finds touch quite intense, and I had to learn and trust other (deeper) ways of connecting. I will always be learning, will never master, how to "just be" and "do" later (if it still seems important!) but what a valuable, ever-expanding life path. Grateful.

I've taken a long time to complete this video course - some 2.5 years - but have been impresed with every section of it, and understand that the length of time has possibly helped me to embed my own practice more effectively. I work with some therapy ponies and feel I can connect more deeply with the particular one that I ride. I get a lovely welcoming whinny when I go into her field and it's not anticipation of treats because casual treats are contrary to the centre's policy. She can be a minx when we're hacking out - quite spirited, but also with a tendency to plant. Ive learnt that patience is the way forward from planting: letting her have a good look, then urging her forward gently. We have developed an understanding, I think, which continues to develop.
Thank you, Trust Technique.
My sister has a dog who barks every time someone passes their window. I'm trying to persuade her to sign up to Trust Technique!
I'm looking forward to viewing the video on Mindful Regard (I haven't found it yet).

i love it! i ve done many many courses, but this one is different This one really changed my life.

I was very skeptical at first but now I am blown away.. I'm so glad I pulled the trigger and took this course. I have 3 horses (one who is 25) an old dog (almost 15), 2 cats and have even used this on our 2 mini fainting goats. I've been involved with human health for 35 years (chiropractic, cranial-sacral therapy, nutrition, muscle testing, healing modalities, etc). I've witnessed an abundance of miracles, almost on a daily basis, but this, this should be a staple for all pet owners, anyone in the an industry involving animals. It has helped me connect with my beloved fur babies beyond measure and made all the techniques I use with them work better. It is such a fantastic feeling doing this life changing work with them, getting to witness their release from pain and stress (such a privilege!) and bonding stronger with them because of it. I still have a few questions but I am loving this work and so thankful for the passion and work that went into putting this course together.

I was drawn to The Trust Technique video course by a friend and fellow horse owner and, once enrolled, I have not looked back. At first I was concerned that it was taking me some time to work through all the topics, until I heard James' voice in my mind concerning animals: "We must go at their pace." I realized that this advice applies to us too. We are so conditioned to rush through life today, and with predictable consequences!

The learning in the course is very well organized. The more I got into the details, the more I appreciated the way it is introduced, which is incrementally. This also makes it easy to return to an earlier lesson and go over it again, how ever often it is needed.

By far the most valuable lessons are in the nuances, which James so expertly presents in the videos and which take time to absorb. I quickly realized that his teaching skill is in his ability to go into those nuances, both in terms of the subtle changes we can adopt in the way we think of a lesson to best accommodate the animal's needs and understanding, as well as in the signals we pick up from the animal. These two are closely related, of course, and again, James' advice to go at the animals's pace is key.

I am now having a good rate of success with offering the present moment to my horse and my cat and working with that, and also with wild deer who are my winter visitors here in Canada. I am now having a go with a bonded pair of wild pigeons. We'll see how that goes!

Thank you, James and Shelley, for this amazing opportunity to learn to communicate with animals.

I started with the Messages of Trust and then the Video Course. It has been a truly wonderful experience, so much so that I am now embarking on the Practitioner Course. In the Video Course I started with the dog section as I no longer have horses but the whole course was a deep learning experience, no matter what animal. In fact, the bears and horses I found to be the most enlightening in seeing their progression. What a beautiful world we would live in if all beings were truly understood and listened to. Thank you!

This video course makes me want to learn more and I can't wait for the practitioner course!

Thank you very much for this deep and inspiring learning experience and the sharing of your knowledge!

Dear Friends, you have given me a vocabulary for expressing things that I have long intuited. And it has opened my eyes wider to the lives and emotions of our non-human animal friends. It has also saddened me for the suffering that is inflicted on them daily, chiefly due to human cruelty and ignorance. But I do feel more hopeful, and I intend to devote more time to sharpening these skills and introducing others to what I have learned in this course.
Thank You so much.

Thank you so much for making this kind of relation ship with animals true.
I mean no leadership, no dominance. I was dreaming of such a way to be, I had the reference deep in me for sure, but I just met people with old methods and manners and I started to believe them and thought I was wrong, too dreaming...
So thanks for teaching and for sharing so much !
Your videos are showing so much of feelings and sensitivity, I really get touched by all of them, sometimes wanting to have even more feedback on how they are doing now as the videos were done many years ago (Lions, Bears also).
Well, as trust technique is a journey, I really look forward joining the practitioner course to be able to help many animals and grow + heal myself on the way.
Thanks for sharing your joy, your passion, your peace! It so wonderful to spend time watching the videos with you smiling so much and being so calm and gentle.
Thank you!

fantastic! since i did this course some years ago, i ve been stuying a lot, ( Science of Behaviour, Theory of Learning, R(+), Force Free methods for everything! i loved all, but i must say the trust technic makes the difference. I remeber Jame in many moments, when working with horses, cats and dogs! even sheeps!!
love all this!! thank you!!

I am amazed by the number of video in this course. As well as the quantity of information around animal behaviours . I also shivered with the deep and fine lecture of all the animals seen.
But as I have started in 2021, I will start again for refresh.
The chapter 3 trusted cooperation has transported me in a world of magic, allowing me to slow down and start trusting.
The way is still long but I am in awe for all the work done by James and Shelley, and the crew and thank you all to share so much with such generosity.

I don't have a lot of time to write a long review that this course deserves but I will say this.
Learning the Trust technique has changed my life in the most companionable manner ever.
I truly wish that children would learn this in school early on, and I cannot imagine not knowing this knowledge. It makes "meditation" very scientific and practical.

Best course ever!
Thank you with all of my heart for teaching this to us

I am so grateful for this course! It has affirmed what I felt a long time ago as a child; that animals and people could share feelings. Thank you for creating this course and documenting your work.

This course is incredible ! The way you work with animals at their pace using nothing more than peace, patience and gentle persistence is so heart warming and the results are unbelievable.

The gentle "less is more" approach flies in the face of the way we normally treat animals with no understanding or empathy whatsoever.

This course has completely changed the way I interact with both animals, people and even myself and I cannot thank you enough for the work you do.

I have especially noticed the play energy that peace and trust allow to bubble to the surface with some of the animals I care for which is absolutely enchanting (the videos of the bears and lions playing blew my mind!).

There is not one living thing that wouldn't benefit from this wonderful technique.

Thank you 🙏 x

This course is indeed a life changing one. I came to this course to help my rescued greyhound Lucy with her reactivity to other dogs. The Trust Technique is a wonderful way of working with your animals and thanks to the easy to follow instructions and so many beautiful examples of working with all kinds of animals, starting with dogs ending with sun bears in south east Asia, it is quite easy to learn. But the result of doing the Trust Technique might be surprising. As I said I started the Video Course to help my reactive greyhound. During our Journey I realised that I too had some deeply buried issues, which caused problems, too. So, I did the Trust Technique for people, it is kind of a challenging part, cause I had to face which I always had ignored or buried. But in the end I did it. It's like opening old wounds but only after clearing that out, I was able to find peace with myself and in the end get better helping my greyhound find peace too. I finished the video course, but my greyhound and I are by no means at the end of our journey to fully feel peaceful. For me it's a journey, which takes time. But it's actually a wonderful journey were the "path truly is the goal".
Thank you James and Shelley for bringing the Trust Technique in to the world. And thanks to all the people of Trust Technique Community and Administration for spreading the Technique wide and far. As I live in Germany I might never heard of the Trust Technique if you don't advertise for it worldwide. Thanks to everyone involved.

Juliana, from Germany

I’m truly grateful for the video course and the hard work of everyone involved in bringing it to life. I deeply appreciate every aspect of it, as I have gained so much valuable knowledge—not only about enhancing the relationship with my dog to help her dealing with fear, but also about myself. This experience has been incredibly enriching, thank you so much.

Meine Hunde und ich sind tiefer verbunden als je zuvor. Vorallem meine sensible Hündin Shana verstehe ich jetzt viel besser. Sie hat Trust angewendet, bevor ich Trust näher kannte. Sie kommuniziert zuerst nur energetisch mit Hunden, die sie nicht kennt. Bevor sie mit ihnen in physischen Kontakt geht, wird sie genau so präsent, wie James das lehrt und wenn der andere Hund in seinem friedvollen Sein angelangt ist, dann ist sie bereit zu agieren. Ihre Art dies zu tun, hilft jedoch nicht nur dem andern Hund, sondern auch ihr selber, mir und der ganzen Gruppe. Vorher, als ich das nicht spürte, war Shana oft sehr heftig in ersten Begegnungen, weil sie die Unruhe um sich herum aufnahm und körperlich entlud.
So hat sie mich inspiriert, den Praktiker zu absolvieren und ihr mein volles Vertrauen zu schenken.

My dogs and I are more deeply connected than ever before. I now understand my sensitive dog Shana much better. She used Trust before I knew Trust. At first she only communicates energetically with dogs she doesn't know. Before she makes physical contact with them, she becomes present in exactly the same way as James teaches and when the other dog has reached its peaceful state, then she is ready to act. Her way of doing this not only helps the other dog, but also herself, me and the whole group. Before, when I didn't feel it, Shana was often very violent in the first encounters because she absorbed the unrest around her and released it physically.
So she inspired me to complete the practitioner course and put my full trust in her.

I loved your course and I believe it has helped me calm my dog (during storms and loud noises)this is a work in progress. I wanted to do your course so it would make me more confident when I started volunteering at my local RSPCA. I feel more calm in my self as well, so I`ll see how I go as I started today. Thank you so much. I`m in the process in starting the course again..........

Hello, I have two Arabian horses: Jassir, 7 years old and Takhira, 9 years old and a dog, Luna 8 years old. After training them together with a riding instructor, I realised that Takhira remained quite skittish and that Jassir would bite if he was upset or under pressure. I got to know TT at the beginning of 2024 and did the online course. The most impressive experience was when a mouse joined me and the horses at the present moment. From then on, I was convinced that TT also worked for me. I have been meditating for myself every day since then and have been using TT regularly with the horses over the last few weeks while I finished the course. I and my animals have more self-confidence, Takhira has lost her jumpiness and Jassir has lost most of his biting behaviour. I feel their emotions and listen to them more often and earlier thanks to TT, so that I react with calm instead of pressure. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this course, which I can recommend to everyone. Beate from Malvaglia, Switzerland

I am totally blown away by these videos. My dog is terribly afraid of groomers and vets. I’ve been working with behavioral vets, which includes medications to calm him down. I want to learn more to see if I can use these techniques to get him to the vet without being terribly scared.

Hello Trust Technique team 🙂
My name is Tracy and I have extensive horse experience and have myself taught bodywork workshops under the name Your Grateful Horse. I came across your site approximately a year ago and LOVE the work you teach. I have a small equine rescue and sanctuary (I have just obtained our 501c3 called "EARS" which is located at Donkey Magic Farm. I currently have a herd of 5. I have been using your technique for the following issues. Zeus (shetland pony) 23yrs of age and Jasper (the pony mule) have been chased cornered and caught. Zeus was highly and roughly over-trained and moves into learned helplessness after he has been caught. He will do anything for you at that point. Jasper was an accidental birth. his herd was rescued, he was separated from his family and put by himself where he escaped regularly. He was lassoed and dragged back to his isolated "home". He was "free" on facebook. No one would take him. He would run at the sight of humans approaching. He has nothing resembling the learned helplessness state. He is wildly independent. It has taken a year to get him to like touch and we are just beginning to work with a halter. The Trust technique has allowed me to build a relationship with both Zeus and Jasper that is increasing their learning curves exponentially! I have a very high thinking donkey I have had since he was 7 months old. Burrito is 8 now. He was always taught by me that his opinion counted. We sometimes call him "Brattito" I look forward to the rescheduling of your vodcast on "Boundaries". This is where we are at with him as he would "LOVE" to be in your lap. He is a standard Donkey so is large! The trust technique has been helping to quiet him as we do extensive walking out on the desert, and we visit our local Veteran's home. Taco (sire) of Burrito was 10 when he arrived 8 years ago. He was completely shut down when he arrived. No one had ever considered his opinion about anything. He was ponied behind a cowboy's horse. An activity I cannot imagine he would enjoy as his hooves were growing out sideways from his coronary band. I believe he was used as a roping donkey...re: instead of roping calves in the idea that roping would ruin them for rodeo, they bring in wild donkeys and practice with them. He loves the trust technique and is much more expressive in his nature. Last but not least Karl (shetland pony)- Loved and spoiled by all, well when I practice the trust-technique with the herd...he lies down within minutes....flat out asleep! I look forward to taking your Practitioner's course. Again many thanks for bringing the work/PEACE to the many rescue animals to whom this benefits so much.

Amazing!
I tried the technique with my wolf-dog after she went over a week without eating much more than a couple cups of food total, the worst diarrhea and unable to hold in water. I thought she was dying and I freaked out completely.
I changed my mind set, stopped freaking out and did exactly as the video showed and in 2 minutes (no joke),
She got up and went to her food dish and began to eat.
She isn't out of the dark yet but she's still eating more each time.
Thank you. I'll be asking Santa for the full video course this Xmas.

A very interesting course, I wish I had come across it years ago when I had horses and dogs and cats and various semi wild animals.
I found the music on the videos distracting but with volume control sub-titles managed to work round it.
I am glad to see that there are practitioners all around the world, a welcome change from the behaviourist approach I was taught at university.

A very interesting course, i wish I had found it years ago when I had horses, cats and dogs and various semi wild animals.
I found the background music distracting, but with volume control, mute and sub-titles managed to work round it. I am glad to see how many practitioners are scattered around the world.

I originally enrolled to be able to help Tommy, our dog primarily with the issue he has with a neighbour who dislikes him and at whom he barks when she's outside. We haven't completely resolved the issue but we've come a long way. The course has changed so much for me personally (as well as helping Tommy). The Trust Technique has helped me so much with my own life and I know it was something I was meant to find and learn. I will continue to help Tommy and also myself. The present moment is so simple and yet so profound and is far more beneficial than any of the meditations I used to do each day. Thank you James and Shelley for this wonderful video course.

i'm fully satisfied with your caring skills and cannot say how pleased you are belonging for animals in nature which we belong every year if you could give me a help and a hope for my channel i'll love to hear from youtube commercials like yours
-
Thanks and all my Gracefulness into your Care and heart for others

Fabulous course. I learned so much and have been able to help my lively terrier. I loved it so much that I have enrolled to become a practitioner so that I will be able to share this with others.

Thank you for this wonderful course it has helped my horses especially my elderly Misty who has always been flighty and very nervous she is now calm and for her to go to sleep while I was sitting next to her just astounded me. I also used it on my young standard poodle as normal training was not being very effective. But TT has worked wonders on her. It has improved her life and mine when we are out and I can let her off the lease and she will return when called. Thank you Thank you.?

I have just restarted the video course because I feel it is like a friend I’d want to keep coming to. I found the Trust Technique some time after my first dog had died, still mourning, and it helped me a lot to be in touch with other animals, even if only virtually, and to watch the beautiful work you are doing. When I had gained enough trust again I was lucky to find a new canine companion. She is a rescue dog and very spirited. I am more grateful than I can say for everything and it is very good to know that the present moment will always be there. Thank you so much for showing me.

Dear James dear Shelley,
In the darkest hour of my life, your course found me.
I have been on the TT journey with my animals and family for 1 year now. I have been looking for it for so long! As a highly sensitive and ADHD woman, I can now stop my thought carousel, become peaceful and dive even deeper into feeling. Through you I finally learned to meditate after 20 years. Truly world changing! So profound and touching. How often did I cry. Because I felt.

Also wonderful in combination with animal communication and energy work. So gentle, loving and appreciative of everything.

Thank you for your being!

James .... I will miss your calming voice very much

Lena

Excellent! i worked it with horses, dogs, and cats, even with sheeps! I love it!
my best experience was with an untamed stallion which had had a bad experience the only time it had been caught, and it functions so so good!!
i use it always in my interactions with horses!
a big THANKS!

This course was absolutely phenomenal. Watching James use his techniques and really apply what he was teaching was like you were there with him. No matter horse or dog or cat ...he came though each time almost effortlessly . However, this is his technique which he has perfected so amazingly over the years so its no wonder it is perfection every time . This course is so awesome and would recommend to anyone who loves animals and wants to truly help them on the deepest level possible ...❤️

Dear James and Shelley,
I have found The Trust Technique a life changing experience. It has taught me how to deeply listen to animals. I trust my instincts with the communication I receive. Animals naturally feel peace and calm when you invite them, without any agenda, to engage with you through a quiet mind. Your technique showed me the importance of patience and persistence.
The Trust Technique has enriched daily life for me and my Soul Cat Lottie.
I have had countless wondrous interactions with many species, including much Australian wildlife. Creatures have come to acknowledge and "thank" me when I have assisted them, having fallen from nests, or assisting prior to their young becoming hurt/prey.
The healing horse herd I volunteered with graced me with many opportunities to practice The Trust Technique. I am ever grateful to my dear horse friends and their owner for these opportunities.
I am also infinitely grateful to the many many cetaceans who continue to teach me so much in this realm and also in the etheric realm...I consider them Kin. Wise and Ancient Elders.
Thank you for such a rich and wonderful course. Thank you for sharing all that you do with deep compassion, infinite love, peace and patience.
Gratitude and Love, Emily and Lottie

Carissimi Shelley e James ,vi sono infinitamente grata per quello che fate ogni giorno per tutti gli Animali .Ho appena iniziato il corso e sono entusiasta di apprendere questo metodo.lo consiglio con il cuore a tutti coloro che vogliono aiutare gli animali .L.amore che ci mettete oltrepassa i video e arriva direttamente nel cuore ..grazie

Dear Shelley and James, I am infinitely grateful for what you do every day for all the Animals. I have just started the course and I am enthusiastic about learning this method. I recommend it with all my heart to all those who want to help animals. The love you put into it goes beyond the videos and arrives directly in the heart.. thank you

So many have already said what I also feel. Still, I want to say: I am so, so grateful that you and this technique exist. I’m thankful for the loving way you share your technique, and most of all, I’m grateful for all the animals that are better off thanks to your help. Every morning, I wish for many miracles to help the animals, and I always picture James freeing that young wild horse from its too-tight halter, with his friend also feeling such relief that help has come. So once again: thank you, Shelley & James??

Dear Shelley & James
I was just rewatching the video course the second time and I think I will just start over again. It makes me feel so good and I am learning so much I am awed.

The way to work with animals on such a deep level from heart to heart is just amazing. I am using the trust for myself on a daily base to work with animals their humans and my animals and it changed my whole life. I think the time is right for some new understanding between humans, animals and nature and Shelley and James are touching my heart. It feels like finally coming home, being understood and finding my missing piece.

I am also thankful for all the animals in my life who brought me an this path they where an are great teachers especially Camillo who brought me to the trust technique . We are still on our way to trust in trust.

Much love Guzi

It has been a beautiful experience to use the Trust Technique with Odin, the horse. He's gone from being a horse that runs away at the site of a human to a horse that engages and responds with more confidence. His confidence grew enough that he was able to walk from his pen enclosure, through a dark scary barn for the first time, to find his way into his very own field (aptly renamed for him; The Field Of Life). He beautifully and confidently introduced himself to his new neighbors and even groomed the girl, Shadowfax, next store.
Bearfoot Ranch is so very grateful for the Trust Technique, it has been a life changing experience for both the practitioners and Odin.
We will be forever grateful.

I was captivated by the Trust Technique, how simple it is although not at all easy. I enjoyed working through all the videos while working with my own animals. I have noticed significant changes in my animals behaviours, particularly my dog.
It has taken me to a new, deeper level of being present and mindful. Peace has become my mantra.
I have gotten so much out of this that I definitely want to follow the practitioner path and will sign up for it soon.
Thank you James and Shelley for your beautiful work.

Lieber James, liebe Shelley, liebes TT-Team!
Danke für diesen wunderbaren Kurs und eure so wertvolle Arbeit! Jeder, der mit Tieren oder auch Menschen arbeitet , sollte diese Methode kennenlernen. In ihr steckt ein unglaubliches Potenzial die Welt für Tiere und Menschen zu einem friedlicheren Ort zu machen.
Für mich persönlich ist es eine große Bereicherung James bei der Arbeit zusehen zu dürfen, da es mich sehr in meiner eigenen Art und Weise Tieren zu begegnen bestärkt. Ich finde es sehr hilfreich zu sehen, dass auch bei James die Tiere nicht wie auf Knopfdruck friedlich sind, sondern erst die Kombination aus Frieden/Präsens, Geduld und Ausdauer den Erfolg bringt.
Ich werde den Kurs jetzt nochmal neu starten und arbeite gleichzeitig an meinen Englischkenntnissen (und Ersparnissen), um irgendwann vielleicht die Weiterbildung zum Practitioner machen zu können...
Herzliche Grüße Barbara

Dear James, dear Shelley, dear TT team!

Thank you for this wonderful course and your valuable work! Everyone who works with animals or people should get to know this method. It has incredible potential to make the world a more peaceful place for animals and people.

For me personally, it is a great enrichment to be able to watch James at work, as it really encourages me in my own way of dealing with animals. I find it very helpful to see that with James, too, the animals are not peaceful at the push of a button, but that only the combination of peace/presence, patience and perseverance brings success.

I will now start the course again and at the same time work on my English skills (and savings) so that I can perhaps do the further training to become a practitioner at some point...

Kind regards, Barbara

This course really opens the soul to view the inside of an individual's life, both animal and human. It reminds me how important it is to slow down, breathe, empty, and tune into the present moment. All the consultations support the same process of listening and tuning into the Now. The individual cases with their unique personalities, relationships, and situations illustrate how universally applicable the Trust Technique is.

The scope and number of sessions is truly expansive. The access to James' insights and strategy in a step by step process is truly educational. I found myself participating in many of the cases, focusing on a spot, watching the events on the screen, and using the footage simultaneously as education and inspiration.

Along the lines of inspiration, I want to say that the energy James and Shelley embody and transmit throughout the filmed sessions is illuminating and transforming. Watching each session is highly kin to engaging in actual meditation. The effects are healing in every moment.

I have learned specific strategies to calm and focus myself and my dog. The program hones and reemphasizes the simple, profound act of surrendering to the moment and receiving its gifts of sensitive awareness to the environment and its inhabitants. Because I am so deeply conditioned to race anywhere outside the stillness of now, I need continuous reinforcement to retrain my mind to the more peace-oriented state. The Trust-Technique course allows me to begin at the beginning from the first to the last video. Its message is timelessly valuable not only in relation to others, but as importantly, to myself.

Bless all of you who contributed to this masterful display of the numerous possibilities available to those of us who will simply slow down and allow this beautiful healing process to occur.

Thank you for coloring my world with love!

With enriched gratitude,
Betsy Robertson and Badge, the marvelous Mexican mixed mutt

I appreciate everyone on the TT team especially James and Shelly for this great course. It's a course that has transformed my mental health and that of my animal, including behaviours, understanding of animals, and building a strong bond with animals. And has helped me built an incredible relationships with humans and animals in a way never seen or heard before. Having a peaceful relationship with beings is non-negotiable, that is why I recommend this course to anyone who wants to have a great relationship with himself, animals or even people. This course is the real deal, therefore get it at all cost.

Thank you Shelly, thank you James!
The TT course is part of a journey that I began a few years ago as a Master Reiki Operator Animals and Plants.
My Reiki practice with animals (and also with trees!!) has improved a lot, it has given me tools to deepen the connection that I can have with other beings and how to use peace of mind for healing processes. Patience, Perseverance and Peace of mind have become "my three golden P".
I asked the universe to have the tools to access the professional TT course. I await an answer and in my soul deep down I know that we will see each other again.
This is my life and this is what Simona is.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Namastè

First of all I would like to say thank you, James, Shelly and all people involved in putting this great course together. Its now been 3 years that I found this course right in a time when my two dogs where in the last weeks of their lifes and it was a very hard time for me. Ever since I have dogs and also for my llamas ( who have also passed meanwhile) I have been looking for an approach with no pressure, and at least I found the TT. As a medical doctor and hypnotherapist I recognized a lot elements which I use in the therapeutic setting with humans and I am so glad, there is a way to let animals also benefit through mental healing.
I worked through the Videocourse several times, always finding somthing new. Thank you for this profounding explenations!

For me the TT is the most meaningful approach for the contact with animals. I have dogs since the year 2000 and had llamas for nearly two decades and have been looking ever since for "methodes" to communicate with my animals in a gentle way. The most important point for me is the listening to the animal. As in humans, when you are realy listened to, you feel safe. I had never thought there is a similar approach for the contact with animals. Thank you so much, James and Shelly!

Thank you so much for this course! It has truly changed how I interact with my animals and built a more positive and trusting relationship. By following the techniques, I was able to get immediate results with my dogs and horses. And it just gets better and better with practice. I'm forever grateful for these videos and your teaching.

Thank you so much for this truly beautiful course. I was desperately trying to calm down and train my lively young terrier, Wilf, and had tried so many different things . I am a first time dog owner and wanted to get things right. I must have been putting so much pressure on him!
This course has definitely opened a communication channel between us. I’ve still a long way to go but Wilf is very quick to let me know when I’ve pushed him too much. A big area of success has been on the grooming table. He had been fairly comfortable with me grooming him before but now I can ask him to turn over for me or relax down. I am even making progress with the nail clippers. I genuinely get the feeling that he appreciates me taking the time to listen to him.
I feel our bond growing stronger and I’m so grateful that I found your course. I hope to become a practitioner to develop a deeper understanding and be able to share this gentle technique with others.

Ik ben anders gaan kijken naar het trainen van honden/dieren. Ik heb hier veel aan gehad. Ik ga zeker verder hiermee.

I started looking at training dogs/animals differently. This has helped me a lot. I will definitely continue with this.

I can't thank you enough. I love this beautiful, simple effective technique. It has not only deepened my relationship with my beloved "animals", but has been the anxiety therapy that I have been looking for for a very long time! I LOVE the present moment ?.

I have found this course truly inspiration. I am actually quite sad I have got to the end of this course. Over the time of watching each video I have wondered with the behaviour of the animal how James would be able to get the animal on board to make any change in behaviour. The videos I have watched show just how powerful this technique is with even the most reluctant individual and how with the Three main parts Patience, Persistence and Peace that change is possible. Watching the progress of each animal is truly amazing. I have enjoyed watching the videos where James works with the owners to enhance their interaction with their animals and the change there too is awe spiring. I love the gentle and in depth explanation of what James is doing with his sessions.
Totally so easy to follow. I have so enjoyed this course and am keen to progress to the next one of Practitioner.

The course was absolutely brilliant. It has significantly deepened my relationship with animals, especially my pets. This experience has fueled my desire to work exclusively with animals, and I am now eager to pursue further education in the Trust Technique.

James French, the instructor, provided excellent explanations in all the videos, making the learning process both enjoyable and insightful. I am incredibly grateful to have learned this technique, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their connection with animals.

Overall, this course has been a transformative journey, and I look forward to continuing my education in this field.

The video course is Life changing and enhancing for myself and all the other beings I am grateful to have in my life.
James and Shelly you are inspirational and your grace and love shines through, also thank you to the TT team behind the scenes.

I am so looking forward to starting the Practitioner course in June.

This course has taken about 5 months to complete. It has been one of the most profound learnings of working with animals that I have ever taken, Animal Reiki being another. I started grooming a new horse (to me) in January. Her guardian was concerned she was unhappy as she’d had a difficult past and her last owner of 6 years couldn’t keep her any longer. She’s about 14. What this course has taught me is to be patient &, persistent in being peaceful with myself and her. I no longer put pressure on her to meet my expectations- I just keep using the present moment technique and hope for a breakthrough of her trusting me, and me trusting her. I truly wish every animal guardian, or anyone responsible for an animal’s well being knew about this modality. It even works in personal relationships. I am beyond grateful to James & Shelley and everyone involved in getting this teaching out there.

The Trust Technique is one of the best things I have learned in my life. I am a Reiki teacher and Theta Healing practitioner. While those modalities are great within themselves or in combination, I always felt something was missing. Now I found the missing PEACE!
For 30 years, I have had animals and have been involved in rescuing cats, dogs, and wildlife. I wish I had known what I now know earlier. (...)
As a next step, I would like to take the practitioner course. (...)
James, Shelly, and the rest of the team, thank you so much for putting that course together. I can only imagine the work and hours that went into painstakingly cutting and editing the footage, putting together the course, and breaking everything down into small, comprehensible steps for us to learn. I think I'll start the course all over again ….
Much Love and Light

Hi my name is Kim, I am a riding instructor and immediately started using the trust technique with my lesson horses. One in particular had started spooking with riders who were hesitant(which most beginners are). I think the hesitation feeling made the horse so uncomfortable it caused him to bolt, the last thing you need with a horse that gives lessons. I started his retraining with what I had learned in the course even though I had just started the course. The horse quickly learned how nice it felt and it would only take seconds for him to go into present moment. I would even use present moment when I was riding if I felt tension in him. Stetson, the horse, is back to giving lessons and if he gets nervous we do a bit of present moment and go on with the lesson. I don't think without Trust Technique I could have gotten Stetson safe enough to let beginners work with him like I have. I am truly amazed how this technique calmed this horse down. This course is a game changer for my lesson and training program! Sincerely Kim

This has truly been the best animal course I have ever taken. I have never resonated with the Alpha method of training. I have had many dogs in my life and horses. I wish I would have had this knowledge when I was a horse girl!,
James is a gift to humanity. His insight into the intelligence and emotions of animals and people is profound. I have so much gratitude for this knowledge and I have begun to slowly work with my three dachshunds. I can see the difference in them already. I am so inspired by the charities mentioned in this course. Soi Dog and Animals of Asia. It is so beautiful the work that James and Shelley and all those amazing volunteers are doing to help so many tortured animals. I am considering taking the practitioner course. This is information the world needs to embrace. Humanity has been so cruel to so many animals for so very long. Things need to change as they need to in almost all earthly matters. This is part of our great awakening! Thank you for this life changing thought provoking course!

Absolutely fascinating this technique and its loving approach. I enjoyed every second of each video (and still am 😉 and was moved to tears more than once. If I could beam myself into the future, well, I'd be travelling around, teaching the Trust Technique and helping animals and their people. To my mind, it definitely helps to make the word a better palce 🙂
Thank you so much James and Shelley (and Team ;-)!

I am finding the techniques in the TT video course to be inspirational - the methods just seem to fit. My dog is reactive to sound and movement, which is stressful for all involved - the TT methods are helping her, plus my husband and I cope . Sometimes progress may seem slow, but we now appreciate that her pace is the correct pace, so will keep on going.
It started as a training course, but has become a way of life.

Dear James and Shelley. This video course is just amazing! It is inspiring and it has absolutely touched onto my heart. It is quite clear on the how-to-sections, and what I also absolutely love is how you approach different situations, James. There is such a grace, gratitude and modesty in the way you approach both animals and ther humans. The positivity you radiate is very special. There is a lot to be learnt from that. Thank you so much for sharing all this precious information and help us make the world a better place for our animals. I am super happy to be starting the practitioners course in a couple of weeks time. Very grateful and excited the TT has come into my life and that of my animals. A heartfelt THANK YOU for this wonderful course!

I really loved this course and I have learned so much from all the videos. As a child this was all normal to me, but I lost it due to being bullied and being told it was not true. I'm so happy to see that those people or kids were wrong. It is true. So it was a healing journey for myself and my animals as well. It also raised my own confidence to express my skills more again.

You can be with animals, communicate and teach them from a peaceful mind. As I'm an equestrian assisted coach and I do bodywork for horses and humans I even have changed the session to less talking during coaching and even more being and feeling. Also during my bodywork with humans I ask them to talk less and to go inside more to make them aware of what they feel more as peace of mind is so much more valuable than words, cuddles or touching. I'm also much more present and happy inside

I'm very thankful for you sharing these techniques, this course and I'm sure many animals in the world are thankful too.

I think this is a great course. I think the variety of animals and the ability to work through protective barrier or up close and personal shows the strength of the Trust Technique. I had the privilege of attending a three day seminar at the Omega Center in NY, USA a few years back and this was a great refresher. As an older person who is beginning to have some hearing issues I would prefer if the videos did not have background music and if the closed captioning was larger or had the ability to silence the music or enlarge the closed captioning.

What an amazing course! I loved every minute of the videos and learned so much. I am totally fascinated by the way animals understand what we want them to do without words.
I have been applying the technique with my cat, who has quite a lot of behavioural issues. She is 15, so I understand it's going to take time to undo the conditioning of years, but I am already seeing lots of progress. The videos of the hours spent working with sensitive horses have been really helpful in this respect.
I would really love to go on and do the practitioner's course.

I went through all the video course for the second time . This was lovely to see all those animals ,who went through so much abuses and pains …with the present moment … returning to theirs true essence, finding peace and playfulness. This is what human been will find for themself if they stay in the present moment and let go all the stress and abuses they have suffered as children …. They will find peace , joy fullness and playfulness … 🙂 thank you so much to Shelley and James ….your work is exceptionally beautiful and indispensable for the planet….well done 🙂
…. This video course is a gift that everyone should give to himself…. And for his animal …
With gratitude

I feel I have been looking for the Trust Technique my whole life. This modality is profound, powerful and life changing. It is healing me as well as our animals, and the connection is deep and beautiful. I am just so grateful.

Just what my animals needed (or to be honest: what I really needed ) A wonderful and inspiring course!

The Trust Work is a blessing for the world. I am very glad to have found this course. It changed my life. I did the course for over two years and took the time I needed to profoundly learn it and establish the TT habit in my daily life – I am slow, for others it won't be a problem to do it much faster! Especially when everything around me is "too much", I stop and get quiet. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Not just for my animals or for me, also for my baby grandson, if he has problems to let go and fall asleep, it's a wonderful method. I can't thank you enough, dear James, dear Shelley and dear TT-Team!

Simple and efficient

Guy, what a gift to the world. I am so deeply touched by the interaction that came to life so far with the truth technique involved. It gave me a way to step in a world i knew was out there but didn’t know how to access that way. The depths of connection i encounter where mind blowing. They had some many different nuances to it. Look forward to learn more and more. And to dive even deeper.

La cosa più grandiosa di questa Trust Technique è la sua semplicità!!
The greatest thing about this Trust Technique is its simplicity!!

Thank you so much! This videocourse has been very helpful and interesting. I am looking forward to even more videos, showing a lot of different cases and how to overcome the difficulties or problems that the animals or the humans may have.
In some of the videos the sound is not so good, due to other disturbing sounds. It was not so easy to hear what the people said.
Overall I really really like this course!

This course has been a life changer for myself, my human family and my animal family. From the beginning, the way in which the "stages" of the technique was delivered and taught with such care and so succinct made the learning possible. Followed by the incredible case studies. Each case study attuned my learning and addressed situations so that the application of applying The Trust Technique to the unique being can be finely finessed. Meaning, see the unique individual and in that moment address the situation with the feel all while be in the mind/heart set of how can I better serve the being in front of me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I plan to become a certified practitioner. Thank you James, Shelly and the staff for developing an online methodology and beautiful delivery of this practice. This is Oso at zero. He is a sensitive being. Aren't they all.

I thought the course was incredibly thorough and detailed in demonstrating how to deliver the technique. The hours of video footage taken to aid students in the learning process is a real testament to James & Shelley and shows how dedicated they are in ensuring that the Trust Technique is delivered to the highest standards. This course has taught me so much about how my own state of mind effects my animals; an awareness which I now carry with me in my daily life and has helped me to shape a better, more intuitive and deeply connected relationship with them. Thank you James & Shelley for sharing this incredible and profound technique with us all. Truly life changing!

I learned to be a better listener for my dog and the importance of going at its pace, the power of gentleness, patience and perseverance to release patterns and create new ones .

this course is so inspirational that I want to go deeper and share this in the proper way. So I registered for the next step to become a practitioner of the TT and I am so happy to join the next winter practitioner train.

It modeled for me how to be in the present moment and be peaceful within myself. This in turn helped me and my animals come into better alignment with one another. I find that the meditative technique very easy to use throughout my day if I sense my energy level getting too high.

I loved this course! It is inspiring and practical. I can see the possibility of making the world a better place for animals and their people using the Trust Technique.

A very complete guide, incredibile work, I feel very lucky to be given the posibility to learn by you all this. Thank you.

No doubt you have heard this many things, this course has been an emotional ride . I can remember when I have cried so much , I do believe I was tripping down memories lane a lot. I was raised on a farm and bought my first horse at the age of 13 , I do believe we saved each other . I have always look for connections with animals that’s where I’m happy . Thank you so so much I would love to take the next step with the trust technique this is my new life .

A very thorough and meticulously curated course that has obviously taken a lot of dedication, patience and care to create.
The love and compassion that both James and Shelley have for animals is apparent throughout and I am very grateful for their gift to the world.

I loved every minute of this course. These teachings feel like “Home” to me on a very deep soul level. The whole experience of these teaching feel like a remembrance of how life is meant to be, how perhaps it once was. Deep resonance of truth and knowing in the way James teaches. It opened my heart so much, in so many ways. I truly felt that I was healing along with the animals while watching the videos. I am extremely grateful to have discovered this. It has been and will continue to be a huge gift in my life. I love that there are people like James and Shelley on the planet with so much love, compassion and respect for animals. It gives me great hope and faith that one day humanity as a whole will live and lead with love. Thank you James and Shelley for developing and sharing the Trust Technique world. It has and will continue to change my life. Mahalo

Hi guys, I find that course is a great opportunity to see that people like you and Shelley exist on that planet …. It is very inspiring to see you guys working together to make a better world for animals and peoples who have a relationship with them .
It is not only a technique that I have learn in this course but I made a spiritual journey through it.
All the time I have look at those video I was in the present and was processing my feeling ….this is a great tool for spiritual growth and I am very grateful to you guys for the opportunity that you have given to me to see all this animals and peoples becoming more conscious.
When I saw your publicity on the internet I knew that this course was for me :).
I am following a lot of path for many years to find how I can improve myself to help myself and the planet . I have followed meditation courses … many gurus and training … reading thousands of books … to find the peace of mind and the present moment and your course complete a big part of the puzzle that I beginning to have an understanding. You guys and the animals on the videos gave me a lot of answers . Thank you very much ….well done. 🙂

This technique really works wonders. Used it to train a ferral cat to become a house cat. Disciplining the cat did not work at all, if she was scolded for doing something she would just go right ahead and do it twice as much. The trust technique and communicating peacefully and lovingly worked far greater than anything else.
Also did the Trust technique on my daughter's very fearful cat who lives in the same duplex as me. Magic was really afraid of other cats . She would barely go outdoors if my cat was around and when they did encounter each other she would fearcely hiss and try to scratch my cat. After just one fairlu long session with magic where we could see her physically releasing the trauma in a sleep like state, she would then go outside no problem and gradualluy allowed my cat close to her. After several months I would see them playing hide and seek with each other and eventually at a fairly close distance (a few feet away) nap and rest beside each other. We lovingly remind them to be friends as needed and they cooperate with each other. I am amazed at how much they understand when we talk lovingly to them.. My used to be ferral cat is now looking out for Magic and lets me know when Magic wants to come into the house or when she is concerned about her for any given reason. It is so beautiful to see how close they have become. (We only ever did one long session on Magic but it was enough to kick start this new cat relationship with lovingly communicating regularly to be good friends).

Jim was found in the oil field in bitter cold temperatures and was very skinny... I kept him with me through the night and he purred all night on my chest.. The next day I put him with my other cats and he was so happy .
I think that he thinks he is a dog;) he follows me everywhere and if I stop moving, he sits by my feet and looks like this photo.
When i get present, all 5 of my cats come over to sit with me and then go to sleep.. they are very calm and happy with each other..
My Husky normally tries to fight the present moment and also tries to distract my Golden .. But, he is beginning to look forward to the peace. It was difficult having mindful regard for awhile and i think I will start working with them one at a time also. Not sure if I should have maybe done that first. I have watched all videos twice and am going to keep studying them.. I love the trust technique and eventually want to take Practitioners course.

Tom and Jim are very calm these days. I have 5 beautiful rescue cats that are all lovable and sweet . The Trust Technique has done them a world of good. It has also helped My Son and I a lot! I am just reviewing as much as i can because each time, I learn more.. I Love it a lot!

It's the best course I've ever taken. I use it on my animals and I have obtained extraordinary results, especially on a she-wolf who had a lot of difficulties due to excessive emotionality. I'm re-educating my horse and now our relationship is truly exceptional. I am infinitely grateful to James for his teachings. I will take the training course as I work as an animal naturopath, hoping to be able to meet him and shake his hand.

I have really enjoyed this course and the journey it has taken me on. Sadly my elderly cat passed away towards the end of the course. What I soon realised upon beginning this journey was that I had already been doing this, in a way, with him when I first got him from a rescue centre, which helped me to engage with this course as it felt totally natural and could understand it. On his final day I was stopped by a passing dog who wanted to engage with me, which was really moving that he could pick-up on what was happening for me. It is such a special and beautiful feeling to connect with an animal, no matter what the creatures size or appearance. I wish to do more with this, but it may have to be further in the future. I highly recommend.

Life changing method !
What a change in my animals but also what a change in myself…I can’t believe how much we have achieved in such a short Time.

 Slow is definitly the new fast !

This course has consolidated all of my previous study and values regarding non-human beings. My dear ex-racing (ie rescue) greyhound has responded very delightedly to this journey. Thank you James, Shelley, Josh and the rest of the team.

This course has changed how I approach all I do with my horse. The course also has make me feel calmer and more peaceful. Love it

The Trust Technique is absolutely life-changing. My relationship with my animals is forever changed, thanks to this course. "Natural horsemanship" is out the window forever and my horses will never have to deal with intimidation and fear again during our learning and cooperation together. I also love trying the Trust Technique on wild animals and domestic farm animals such as chickens. It is so delightful to see them sink into peace. I'd love to become a licensed practitioner some day.

.

It’s hard to put in to words how the trust technique has changed my life. I first came across it when I rescued some horses and implemented all I had learned from James in his videos. I then applied it to dogs I was fostering. I noticed the more I was present, the better we all felt. People arrive to my home/dog & cat rescue centre/dog hotel and say it feels like peace and contentment.
I also use it to help my children manage their emotions and to help with my own.
I’m incredibly grateful to James and Shelly for all they do.

This course was truly enlightening and transformational for me. I think it awoke so much compassion in my heart. The kindness, patience and respect James has for the animals he was working with was just wonderful to observe. I find myself watching the videos again and again, especially when I need to find some peace of mind in my busy life )
Trust Technique became a big part of my life and helped me to see animal's behaviour in a completely different light. I would recommend this course to everyone who would like to improve their communications with the animals, help their pets to overcome any behavioural issues or simply just to bring more peace of mind to their lives.
It brings me so much joy to realise that we can help any animal (and also humans) to heal and gain more confidence in a calm, peaceful and cooperative way. Thank you James and Shelly. It's been an absolutely amazing journey.

The Trust Technique is simple, but has life changing outcomes. James and Shelley are very special people and their inspiring work has the power to heal the world. This course is creating open, honest and deep connections with my animals, is giving my life new excitement and fulfilment and above all, peace.
I am forever grateful for your gift and dedication to sharing it with our planet. May all beings find peace.

The Trust Technique has enhanced my life and my animals I live with. I am very grateful for James and Shelly for sharing their kindness towards animals and people and helping to bring an understanding to being able to have a better relationship with others. I have shared with my horse "Malachi" the Trust Technique and we have deepened our bond , for this I am truly thankful. So look forward to furthering my studies with you....
Peace Karen

I am very grateful for James and Shelly, your journey in life has changed the lives of many for this I know as I am one of them. The animals I share my life with are really enjoying the Trust Technique and the wonderful benefits it has to offer. My family is truly also benefiting from my learning the Trust Technique and applying the additional peace at a different level. I have an active Rieki practice and it has taken on a more indepth regard for others. The Trust Technique has given me a language and understanding that was otherwise not so simple to put into words sometimes for people. I look forward to continuing my learning with becoming a Practitioner of the Trust Technique. Peace Karen

Fascinating! So many positive changes in the lives of humans and animals as a result of the Trust Technique. I love and appreciate what I have learned and I look forward to the continuing education that is offered! Thank you very much, James and Shelley. I will be forever grateful for what you have given and what you bring to many lives. The Trust Technique has already given me so much joy and so much to look forward to on my own path in life, not to mention how many others and their animals that I will be able to share what it means to be peaceful, and so much more. I am thrilled to be a part of something so meaningful and purposeful that you have created.

The Trust Technique is way more than I had hoped for. After a very difficult time, I was searching for a different way to be with my horse - the way that my heart said was possible. I found nothing that felt good. I gave up on 2 horses, and myself. Then The Trust Technique found me and spoke directly from my heart. It is benefiting me, my animals, my husband (who is now taking the course) and our children. The Trust Technique is allowing me to see all beings in a new light that allows for connection versus separation. I give my love daily to James and Shelley - as I watch the videos or do the Trust Technique. I am so grateful to the Trust Technique Family for doing the work to make this available to everyone.
I recommend this course to any one who wants to further their relationships in a deep way with the animals and people in their lives and discover the truth of who we really are. With Gratitude, Nancy

The Trust Technique is inspiring, informative, heartwarming, memorable, and at times - heartbreaking. It is presented in a logical and easy to understand way, explaining and describing all facets of the technique. I have put into practice all areas, including Animal Communication, and have so far been able to help two of our dogs, one of our cats, a fly, my husband, and myself. I found the filmed case studies and consultations enormously helpful as they pulled everything together, also showing the appropriate way to approach clients - including in more sensitive situations. Thank you so much for all the work you have put into this course. I now have a dream too!!

I am so grateful to James for sharing his technique and have no doubt in my mind that this will (and clearly has already) made the world of difference to so many animals.
His ability through the technique to hold the space required for the animal to heal and trust, along with the humans is a gift to the world.
I watch the videos and feel like I have come home - like someone else understands the wonder of animals and what they can teach us and what we can give them - peace of mind. This is something that many animals never know in life, and most probably the same could be said for their human guardians.

I would recommend this course to anyone and know that it will change your life and those of your animal companions.

I am deeply thankful, for the Trust Technique and for the video course.
The technique is incredible and I am so happy that it is possible to learn it this way. The course is very well structured and very generous, so that one can really grow with it and feel accompanied in this life changing process.
The Trust Technique is now a big part of my life and of my animals and I am filled with joy and gratitude for this. Deep thanks to James and Shelley for that.

Amazing and profound experience for my animals and myself. At the present time my family is one cat, dog, horse and three burros. It has helped me tremendously with my rescue burros that had a bad experience with a new farrier. It took the Trust Technique to calm them down and regain their trust. Thank you so much for the teaching, many blessings to all that will inspire others in this work.

Thank you so much for this invaluable work that has been done through the years and offered to anyone who's interested in truly regarding and living the relationship with its animal.
It is received from the same place it has been offered 🙂
It really helps realizing humans and animals are not separate beings.
This course is enlightening, the journey is really worth it!

Un immense merci pour ce video course. J'ai bien l'intention de le refaire autant de fois que nécessaire pour bien en assimiler les subtilités. Je vais également faire tout ce que je peux pour améliorer mon niveau d'anglais afin d'être capable de faire la formation des Practitionners.

A huge thank you for this video course. I intend to do it again as many times as necessary to fully assimilate the subtleties. I will also do everything I can to improve my level of English in order to be able to do the Practitioner training.

I think it took me about a year to get through all of the material of the course for the first time.
I have practiced on my own very regularly and took some help with a practitioner a few times.
I can say confidently that my relationship to all animals has fundamentally changed. And my dogs and cat are so much calmer now. Especially the dogs used to be completely out of control, they are now calm and listening to me. And my angry cat has become much more gentle and cuddly.

I appreciate this course so much and am very happy to learn that there are so many animals getting such good care. Amazing dedication from James, Shelly and the people that they teach.
My Golden Retriever looks forward to these sessions and my Husky has to let me know that he is Boss.. then he loves it.
They stopped barking at everyone that walks past and they gave the neighbors dog some peace and quiet.. very good start
I Love every minute of this course and I may review the whole thing again .. even though I have hours of crying time over some of these videos.. I plan on taking the practitioners course very soon . Thank You to each and every one of you that bring Peace to these Animals , Others and your own.

The Trust Technique has been such a profund inner Journey for me and my animals. There is so much more harmony now beetween us all. So much release of painful thoughts and feelings, for example my donkey Doris was in a bad state, skinny and stiff all over is now jumping around and gaining weight. She released intensely with scratching sort of burping and crying with actual tears. My animals has always helped me so much and now I have a method to help them back. I am ever so greatfull~THANk YOU

This work has been transformational for both me and our animal companion. We didn't know how to help our very sensitive pup. We didn't understand what triggered her reactions, and we certainly weren't aware of how we ourselves were contributing to the cycles, nor how much we (or at least I) needed this work myself. The insights and tools in the Trust Technique are invaluable, and the coursework and case videos here are beautifully developed and sequenced. Thank you so much, James and Shelley, for bringing this forth to help Souls of every species.

The Trust Technique is the only answer I have ever received to the question, "what person do I have to become to be the best partner for my animal?" I feel indescribably blessed & grateful, the video course has completely changed how I see animals & humans in an non-judgmental, non-controlling, deeply honoring way.

A huge „Thank you“ to James and Shelley and all staff members. Perfect timing for this course to come into my life. I soaked it all in and got addicted in practicing with my horses, cats and dog. Trust Technique is a life changer in so many ways- not only for the animals. ( I love the three P‘s: peace, persistence and patience) The way you organized the course online is brilliant! Your calm, trusting and heartwarming characters seem to jump out of the screen and we participate from your positive energies from home. You truly make a change in this world and I’m grateful to have been able to be a part of the journey so far. Again: thank you all???!

Thank you This course is life changing.

Buying this course is the best thing I have ever done for myself! It is helping me becoming the person I have always wanted to be for my animals!
Watching James expressing true unconditional love for the animals (and people) he works with is reverberating that same place inside myself, reawakening these same qualities in me. What a joy this is!
And in that I have come to understand and make peace with my own upbringing, dissolving it in that same respect and love. What a gift! Thank you, James.

Words don't describe my feelings nor my gratitude. This is what I was looking for.

Dear Shelley and James, I am deeply moved by this course. Seeing the effects of the technique with so many animals, feeling the peace and relief and showing the caretakers the way to a deeper and clearer connection with their animals was magical. All the positive change that comes from kind loving regard and respect and peace is so powerful. The world needs more of this! I watched all videos and learned so much. I have used the technique with my dog and the horse I care for and the changes are amazing. Thank you so much for the course and the amazing work you are doing all over the world for animals and humans??

Dear James and Shelley:
What a wonderful course!!! I feel grateful and blessed. You are a true role model of peace, love, understanding, communication, union, sharing, gentleness, patience, persistence and generosity. Thank you for helping to raise consciousness and making such great contribution to the wellbeing and healing of both animals and humans.

I found the Trust Technique after recommended by a friend. I was very intrigued from the beginning. I have been training horses and helping others with their "problem" horses for 20 years as a hobby and a passion, using Natural Horsemanship methods. I am always looking of ways to improve communication and understanding and strengthen the connections in more positive ways. The TT is that method that pulls the pieces together. The videos are amazing working with so many breeds and animal species. What a gift especially to all the rescue organizations. I truly believe this can change the world for humans and animals. The healing starts with the human for sure.
I have used the technique with a couple of my horses who have had high anxiety with trailer loading. Not only does it cause me to slow down and be more aware of the horse and be able to rate their level of anxiety, but it proves you don't have to run the horse around to gain control. It has taken a few sessions, but trailer loading has become a much less stressful and easier endeavor.
I also used it to help one of the horses accept feet trimming more easily.
Much appreciation for these teachings and hope to continue on and learn more.

It's taken me about a year and a half to make my way through the video course. Maybe that speaks to my slowness, but I really think it's more to do with the vast treasure trove of video footage, which is incredibly consistent and focused. I assumed as I made my way back to the chronological beginning of the program that things would be more varied and less focused and that simply was not the case. From start to finish the video content has a definite pattern. The technique is consistent with the same terminology and concepts presented throughout. This really reinforces the learning as you work your way through the different categories of animals. Happily I was able to practice on my own horse, cat and rooster and found stunning results with each. This technique is quite revolutionary and I'm pleased to hear more people talking about it, meaning the word is spreading as more folks are taking the course and/or becoming practitioners. I haven't taken the techniques very far yet with my own animals, but that's my goal. I do have dreams of becoming a practitioner as well. I want to thank James and Shelley for all of their incredibly hard work over the years putting this (and the other) courses together. The dedication in filming, editing, travelling, and answering questions of students is remarkable. It was a real treat to receive the Lion segment shortly after purchasing the course. A great marketing move and such a delight. I've also really appreciated the forums and look forward to exploring those further.

It has been the most meaningful, gentle and profound experience to work through this video course. Indeed work is completely the wrong word to use, - it has brought so much peace, healing, and remembering of what we instinctually feel and can share with animals. The Trust Technique is a poignant reminder of how much our animals pick up on our feelings, how every thought creates a feeling for us and them, and of just how powerful feelings affect us and our animals. Feelings are actually still the most reliable communication despite the evolution of language. This video course is all about feeling. What wisdom!

By using the Trust Technique, not only did my animals go into healing states, but so did I. Indeed the amount of release this course has helped me with, and helped me to help my animals with, is simply profound. The re-connection and deeper relationship with each of my dogs, has meant the world to me. Watching the videos persistently night after night I have also slept blissfully for months. The Trust Technique is both profound and beautiful in its simple, yet incredible, power. And the things that I could change and influence to help my dogs through the present moment, mindful regard, realisation learning have been wonderful.

My only wish was that I had had the course years ago, but I guess it came exactly when it needed to. Watching and understanding enough of the course was the best thing I could have done to help my beautiful Anatolian Shepherd in the last months of her life. It has quite literally helped connect the dots of my own life and has been a fantastic investment of time in learning. Completing this video course was absolutely a way to honour the incredible life of my remarkable Anatolian and to ensure that the lessons she and this course have taught me must mean more and reach more people and animals. It has also had a huge influence on my work as a therapist helping people with trauma.

My little adopted dog, who was nervous about everything, every noise, every stranger, has literally transformed before our eyes into a confident, peaceful, attentive learner in just a few weeks. And he and I continue to process the loss of our beloved Bronte with the help of the Trust Technique and all its many teachings.

The course also helped me fully realise I was blessed with not one but two incredibly sensitive dogs and I'm just glad that I could rectify some things to help both them, me and my family.

Through the course I came to many clearer realisations and it's given me the tools to take full responsibility as teacher and carer for my dogs. James and Shelley, I shall never be able to express adequately in words what a remarkable gift and body of work you have brought to the world and how truly grateful I am that you came into our lives. It has been a privilege and honour to watch and learn about the Trust Technique. My animals have benefited enormously in so, so many ways, as have I. To share and apply the incredible beauty of what you have created and so wonderfully practiced and dedicated your lives to, James and Shelley, is an incredible experience. Thank you for your care, compassion and wonderful observations. Thank you so much for making your dream of improving humans' and animals' relationships and getting animals the regard and responsibility from humans that they deserve, come true. That is what you have done for me and my dogs, when so many other things and so-called experts over the years created more harm than good. Just so deeply, deeply, deeply grateful.

The video course was for me as taking a long hot bath: a real joy!!! I enjoyed all the videos, and was especially moved with your work in the sanctuaries. From the moment the TT technique entered into my life, my life has changed profoundly. It is the first time in my life that I am able to do things which are grounded. Also the life of Juvi, my dog, changed a lot, but I have the impression that Juvi has helped me more the passed year than I was able to help her. Because the TT changed my life that much, I decided to follow the TT practitioner course. I want to live a life that is as much 'in peace' as possible, and I know that this TT video course was just the first step to take. This video course , combined with the aid of a belgian practitioner (who's still following the course), was a beautiful first step, but definetely not my last... Thank you all from the bottem of my hearth for realizing this beautiful course, I was waiting for it my whole life, and suddenly I found it...

Absoulutly stunning. I have re- learnt so much that i felt and lost as young child. I am truly grateful to James and Shelley for re-igniting that fire that was lost many many moons ago!
All of the videos priceless. The bears were wonderful, the lions et ale. However i have been profoundly affected by 'I have a dream'. IT WILL COME TRUE.
THANKYOU FOR YOUR WORK
And yes. I start at the begining with my new rescue dog. To old and stiff to ride now!!
thanks forever xx

The Trust Technique Video course has been nothing short of phenomenal. The amount of detail and learning in the videos give such a great foundation. So many of the videos are very special and to witness the release and trust built with the animals is beautiful. I have applied the trust technique with my own dog and have a stronger bond and it certainly has given myself more peace of mind. Thank you for your incredible work

The most valuable takeaway for me is the power of the present moment - not just for our animals but for ourselves. I know that I only have a vague concept of it at this point, but that alone is enough for me to see the immeasurable potential.

I absolutely love learning this technique and have found it really enhances my ability to do animal communication. The Wow moment was when I did the Present Moment with one of the semi feral cats that live at our colony, as she had recently undergone surgery. She was so stressed that she was affected very quickly, but then 4 other feral cats, her friends, came along to see what was going on and 3 of them came into the house, and made themselves comfortable. They were all lowering their levels within seconds, with 4 of them going to sleep, and one, the matriarch of the group, being level 1. It was amazing!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. thank you so much for all the videos and the amazing insights. I have worked with the body, mind spirit and soul of humans for many years, starting out as a personal trainer, going into rehab and manipulation and alignment, hands on, then energy work with Reiki and quantum touch and realignment hands off / distance healing. I know how powerful energy can be, but to put the stepping stones into place and learn trust. peace. persistence and patience in such an easy technique is amazing and game changing for owners of animals.
Whenever I see people having difficulties with their pets I want to jump in and explain all about the Trust Technique.
Unfortunately I lost my cat during this course. She was very nervous but by following the steps and creating the place of peace she started to change and became so much more confident around people she didn't know. Thank you so much James and to all your team.

I have enjoyed this video course immensely. It is so impressive to see, that something so seemingly simple as the present moment can have such a profound effect on our animals, helping them overcome difficult moments in their lives... and help their caretakers at the same time, too. It also goes to show, what I've always felt when I observe people interacting with animals: If there are problems, it's mostly the humans that need to learn and not so much the animals... The Trust Technique is a wonderful tool for this and I would love to see people treating their animals with this kind of regard and care always and everywhere. So I want to be part of this and spread the message. I am keen to keep learning in the practitioner's and the animal communication course.
Thank you, Shelley and James, for making this wonderful method accessible to everyone!

I've been a dedicated meditator and spiritual seeker for over 30 years and I can say that this technique is one of the most extraordinary healing and spiritual practices I've ever witnessed or been a part of. What is so amazing is that the effects are visible and almost immediate. One could say that it is an example of an objective spiritual science.

My wife and I share our home with 5 cats, all rescues, one of whom is quite ill at the moment. The Trust Technique has already been such a huge help to all of our cats and has helped me and my wife as well. I truly believe that as I deepen my practice, I am changing the world for the better in the most concrete way possible-- by changing the field of energy between myself, our animals, other people and all living things.

James is a true spiritual teacher in my opinion, whether he sees himself as one or not.

The trust technique was exactly what I was searching for to deepen my communication with the animals. I already was working similar before but James and Shelley brought it to a next level. I was so impressed how much deeper I could go in the communication. I‘m so thankful to both of you, thank you for all the efforts do you made for giving us such a wunderful course. You‘re both amazing persons and the trust technique opened me such a lot of doors. Thank you ??

I have never come across anything as profound or inspiring as this. Seeing The Trust Technique in action leaves me in no doubt that I need to become a practitioner so that I can help animals and their people live more peaceful lives. My relationship with my own dog has developed to level I didn't think possible and I just want to share this amazing, beautiful , gentle method with everyone!

The Trust Technique has improved and strengthened my relationship with my very reactive dog . I finally realized that my emotional chaos at the time that I got Edgrr was funnelling straight into Edgrr's sensitive little 4-week-old brain, and that began an ever-increasing battle, he reacts to my emotional mess, then I react to his reaction, well you know the story. After 3 trainers, the last one using e-collar and check chains to control my out-of-control 6-month-old, the e-collar, I'm ashamed and mortified to say, was the only thing that would snap Edgrr out of his fugue state of excitement so he could finally learn. At one year, Edgrr tore his crucial ligament, and healing began, no surgery, using Conservative Management to control his movement. I can definitely attest to the difficulty in keeping a year old dog calm, no running, no physical high movement at all. Finally found TT and it has been invaluable, calming Edgrr into a deep healing sleep was very dramatic in his recuperation. We still have tons of work to do, but this beautiful form of communication has been pivotal in getting my boy to use his ramp to get in my jeep, calming him before friends come over, and most of all, the deep healing sleeplike trance he goes onto using the Trust Technique. I can see immediately when he wakes up, that his limp is practically non existent and we are starting on our first outdoor walks in 10 months. I am so enthusiastic about the Trust Technique, my friends are sick of me raving about Edgrr's and my little victories. I am even getting his nails trimmed without fuss, only one ot two at a time but I'm confident that next year at this time he will just hand his paw over for nail trimming. Most importantly, I will never use the ecollar on Edgrr again!
I am definitely pursuing my passion for TT and will be taking the practitioners course as well. Bless James and Shelley for all you do to help animals and humans across the world and for sharing your knowledge, and teaching us about this amazing and simple technique to improve and enrich all our relationships with our beloved animals, and people too. Thank you.

I have loved every second of this video course! And love that this is an super easy way to rapidly and consistently improve the lives of my many rescue animals here at home.

It's been a little over a week now that I've been using the trust technique and already my 2 dogs, who were previously at war inside the house, stopped being at each other's throat constantly. During the sessions, they have even started to share the bed they sleep on. Of course, when there is food involved, I still need to be careful, but even that has decreased. I'm currently working on establishing the invisible lead inside the house. Pretty soon I'll be able to start the invisible lead outside as well, which will hopefully help resolve my youngest dog's issues with his territorial behaviour towards them.

In the cats, the trust technique has less of an obvious effect. I apparently am not that good at reading cat behaviour... I always thought they didn't like each other, as they constantly hiss and fight each other. From the very first moment I started using the trust technique (just before bedtime, while laying in the bed), instead of having just 1 of them join me on the bed, I all of a sudden found myself surrounded my 4 out of 6 cats, all purring and snoozing together! Unfortunately, the 2 that need it the most, are the ones that seem to be reluctant to join in. I suppose it's a little too intense for them. But I'm sure, as long as I keep up regular sessions up, keeping their needs in mind, they too will join in shortly!

Thank you for sharing this lifesaving method!!

I am totally in awe of this gentle, loving and powerful technique. The Trust Technique Video Course went above and beyond, in sharing so many hours of heart-warming content. It has been invaluable in creating a deeper bond of trust, between myself and one of my rescue dogs. Where all else had failed, the trust technique succeeded and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity, to learn from James and Shelley’s dedication, to improving the silent conversation between us and all of the beautiful animals in our life. Thank you both so very much ❤️

I came across a video ad about the Trust Technique while struggling to raise a kitten, something I had no experience with.

I signed up for the "Messages of Trust", and then the Video Course. Even though in the process the decision was made to re-home the cat, working through the Video Course at a slow pace has helped me tremendously with understanding how to build a relationship with an animal, and to find peace with the situation. It has uncovered many layers of unresolved emotions and helped with the healing process.
I am eternally grateful for this little cat to have come into my life for almost a year, and the challenges that made me find this Trust Technique Video Course just at the right time. Although I do not have any pets at this point, I would love to take the journey further, as I can see that it works on humans (and the wildlife where I live) just as much.
Highly recommending this Course!

I like this course and I am considering taking the practitioner course.
I am hearing impaired at the moment and benefit from the captions. The captions would be better for me if they were in black as I view the course in bed and the computer is some distance away so the white lettering is difficult if not impossible to read.
Also, some of the sessions are void of captions altogether.
And sometimes the background music or enhancements are louder than the speaker making hearing what is being said difficult
this is not a criticism, merely information

Most excellent. Life changing for both people and animals.

The Trust Technique is a revolutionary way of working with animals. The video course has thoroughly impressed me and taught me so much. This course has change my whole life. After taking the video course and working with it for over a year, I have now decided to invest in myself and the animals I work with by taking the Practitioner course. It is also so well taught. The many animal and client examples provided really gives depth to the methods as one can see them being applied in different contexts, as all animal, people relationships and issues are unique. Thank you James and Shelly and the rest of the TT team.

A very good and informative matter, it is very helpful for everyday working with animals. Thank you very much.

Merci à vous d’être si généreux dans votre transmission. Ce cours est un moment de bonheur et une véritable révélation.
Mille merci

Thank you for being so generous in your transmission. This course is a moment of happiness and a real revelation.
Many thanks

I enjoyed to learn Trust Technique and to practice with my dogs. They are both rescue dogs and it was very helpful for them to release their negativity. But I think the most beneficial learning in this course was to realize how I feel influences the behavior of my dog and to learn to be in non-thinking state of mind. I am very lucky to find this course and I want to continue to deepen the relationship with my dogs using Trust Technique.

Life-changing for me and everyone around me

I enjoyed the video course very much and I think, your findings of the "present moment" and "mindful regard" are pioneer work of a similar importance as the work of Konrad Lorenz' (1903 - 1989) the ethologist and ornithologist, who discovered imprinting. While K. Lorenz's findings reflect the instinctual level of animal life, your findings explore a psychological level. (I am not including the spiritual level). I hope your work will be acknowledged in science. "Present Moment" and "Mindful Regard" reflect the basic concepts of all psychotherapies (from behaviourism to psychoanalysis). The sections of the video course, which are designed for humans are based on a behaviouristic approach. The fact that animals are able to heal themselves from traumatic experiences by reaching a zero-state of deep relaxation, which relates to their early infancy, is astonishing and well demonstrated and explained. Thanks for your perseverance, patience and precision.

Very in-depth and informative course with many many hours of live demonstrations of how the techniques work with a variety of animals.

I have been able to put the training into practice right from the start of the course. During my studies, I had to stop for a while as my rescue dog became very distressed with the sounds of dogs barking or whining on the videos. By applying the techniques, I was able to gradually get her used to the videos so that she no longer reacted once I'd asked her to sit. She was able to be peaceful whilst I watched!

I have also been able to help friends with their dogs by introducing them to the Messages of Trust course, and they have also been able to see amazing results for themselves and their pets.

I recommend the Trust Technique to people all the time and highly recommend the training for anyone who wants to help their animals with any issues. It has certainly deepened my bond with my own dog, and has been immensely helpful through many challenging situations, including nearly a month of fireworks for weddings at a local venue, Diwali and Guy Fawkes, followed by Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Dear James
I was and I am absolutely fascinated by your technique and your whole work for the animals, which is perfectly shown in this video course. You and your team are a class of it's own and the fact that you share all the steps to a new partnership with animals is just unique in this world. I grew up with all kinds of animals, worked for 30 years as veterinarian and I'm now running a dog and a cat shelter. (...)

I thank you from my heart for this profound knowledge and wishing you all the best with your work and hope that you will touch more people in this world with your understanding how the cooperation between animals and humans can be.
Kindest regards
Natalija

I started my journey with Trust Technique because I was curious about the method. I am a Yoga facilitator/Reiki Master and love to work with energy, so this was an obvious choice in my search to find a way to best help a 10-year-old blind deaf pug that I rescued 3 years ago. Rocky had spent his life being doted on by his previous owners, he was their baby, until one day his owners got too old to take care of him. They had to either re-home him or else have him put to eternal rest. And along came Suz!
Rocky was very confused, anxious and insecure when I brought him home, and for a year, life was very difficult, he'd become very anxious and distressed trying to keep tabs on me all day! It became dangerous in the kitchen, he was always around my feet.
So, finding a way to help me to help Rocky would be or so I thought, a task. But, this add kept jumping up on my laptop.........I loved this approach, it looked like the perfect answer, and, I didn't even have to go looking, it came to me!
despite Rocky's blindness and deafness, he responds well, I do have to practice with him every day in order for him to fully feel secure without being attached to my leg!
And even in the evening, I get present in order to calm him so he can relax by the fire, and I too can do the same!

Thank you James for your gentle guidance.
My next challenge is to work at socialising my daughter's collie with my cat, that should be fun!
Blessings Susan.

Hello James,
I have just completed the Video Course. Through a zooming session by Ann Suvee, I became interested in this technique. I have a Gordon Setter and have had a rehomed dog, a Ridge Back, for about a year now. With quite a trauma in her past. The dogs together do not tolerate each other optimally, but by applying the TTechnique over and over again, things are improving little by little. I will now also follow the animal communication course with you, and who knows, maybe one day the practitioner course. All in all, I have learned a lot from you. Thank you so much!

With kind regards,

Mariette Koelma

I have integrated the Trust Technique in my dog's training. My female had issues with big noises and explosions. Now she can recover faster because she can feel my peace of mind. Earlier I got frustated because I didn't know how to help her.

Discovering the Trust Technique has enriched all our lives.
Helping to resolve the reactive issues for my two boys has allowed us more freedom as a family.
I had thought the relationship I have with my dogs was wonderful, now it is not only wonderful but deeper and far more trusting for both me and them.
I cannot thank you enough for all the information and teaching in this course, a life-changing discovery,
many thanks, Katie

I thank you and the life for this gift which is
the Trust Technique! It has helped me and my animals so much!! I started to get so relaxed only by watching the videos with the calm, warm and clear explanations and smooth music 🙂 it is sooo incredible to realize that all my life I was thinking and not being present, what a great difference has made for me to be more present!! As I started the course I adopted a wild cat and we practiced together the TT and we are so tied up by friendship now, it is a wonderful feeling and experice to share!! It is also a priviledge to try the TT with my horses, it has changed a lot lot lot of our daily routine and work together!! I’m amazed by the power of healing that the TT has for us and for the animals 🙂 I shared my enthousiasm for the TT with many friends that are now taking the course our willing to 🙂
I thank you for all this work, the videos and explanations that make it perfect for me to be calm and learn quickly 😉 it is the first time that i learn with such a great plesure and effectiveness (i have quite a long experience from school to university...), so thank you once again for this incredible opportunity!!
Warmth regards,
Ilaria

I am not sure to find the right words to describe efficiently what this course provides me with in terms of benefits for both my Dog Oscar and me.
Really a great experience of a peaceful moment shared along the day. It has changed our relationships! I am really grateful to James, Shelley and their staff for delivering a such wonderful technique that works! And I highly recommend it to anyone wanted to improve mutual relationships with his animal in order to achieve harmony and a peaceful state of being.
Really really great!

Absolutely wonderful information, delivered with so much heart and soul. This work is a wonderful complement to the work I am doing with children and families. What a labor of love to assemble all of this content and video footage - my deepest gratitude to James, Shelley, and all of the people and animals who have helped to create it all. Long may your amazing work continue.

I have found this course to be incredibly helpful in bringing myself to inner peace and then to use that to help our dogs. Our little Dashhound is also called a little dragon ? and with the TT he reverts back into a sweet dog so much quicker and remain sweet for a longer period.

I can only 100% recommend this course for everyone who comes into contact with animals .

Thank you very much for the privilege of following this video course. It is my plan to follow through with the Practitioner training and use it with my guest and therapy dogs.

The course has been an amazing experience. Where trust is, there is everything!
I just re-visited the course several times and it proved to be a great help in the most difficult decisions of my life: when I had to put down my 30-year-old horses and some months later my 16-year-old dog. During this period the animal bereavement topic was a great help - also for my soul..
Now I can help my young dog, whom I adopted from a shelter, in processing separation anxiety.
My deepest thanks to James and Shelley!

The Trust Technique Video Course is such a rich package of hands-on visuals that with each video I dove deeper into the different dimensions of this amazing technique. Through the video course, I was able to witness the transformation of so many different individuals under the most diverse living conditions, that I step by step developed an increasingly finer perception and gained a more and more differentiated awareness of the amazingly interdependent relationship between us humans and our animals. I was highly impressed by the vast range of knowledge, skills and experience that James and Shelley can rely on and it is a great pleasure to learn from them and the contagious gentle, peaceful atmosphere they convey. It was so touching at times to watch them in action that I advise everyone who is planning to take this course to have a kleenex -box to hand -:) By discovering the trust technique I gained back the motivation, confidence and innate joy to engage in the field of the human-animal relationship. To find the TT in the world-wide-web was quite a revelation for me because I had many moments of intuitively grasping situations when it comes to dealing with horses or dogs that left me highly doubtful and felt left alone with it. Thank you for this amazing piece of work you brought to life by following your calling, James and Shelley. Here is MY big sigh of relief.

This course is just amazing. It helped me finally get a deep understanding of my horse and the other horses with him. I got issues solved that I couldn't ressolve in 6 years. Seeing the effect of the TT on the animals is just astonishing. And ever since I haven't touched a whip. It's so freeing and fun and peaceful and fun and harmonic and fun 😀 😀 😀
I've also learned so much about myself. I wouldn't miss it.

This course is the reason why I signed up for the Trust Technique Practitioner. I am already very excited about this journey!

I have been so impressed with this course. Learnt so much and look forward to helping more animals. During the course I found changes within myself, for the better. I have been quite addicted and can't wait to learn more.
Thank you so much James and Shelley

IT'S MAGIC

I love it !!!

This was the most helpful and interesting course I have done. I enjoy seeing all the help you have given to others and it helped me to better understand and help my own animal.

A great way to interact with your animal. It gives so much more dimension than just normal training

I just love this. The joy around making life better for all the different animals is contageous as is the spirit the technique is given in.
It is amazingly simple when used with sensitivity to the individual animal, and I appreciate the similarities to humans.

This course was so complete. So much value in every video. My Toy poodle Scout who is 7.5yrs old has moved forward so quickly. The main reason I needed it was our first grandchild arrived and Scout become very protective of her and even began trying to keep the baby’s mum away. He became obsessed and his anxiety and high-level thinking was making our reasonable quite easy to get along with pup a nightmare when we visited.. I watched the videos and began using the method and as I did I watched and watched the technique in use and every video offered another small step which I needed to build into our sessions. The information provided is so thorough it helped me refine my knowledge and sometimes realised I had to step back and redo some things and improve my timing. Thank you so much for all you have provided James- Scout's high sensitivity and intelligence had become an issue and now he is living a much more settled life as we work through the triggers and we have peace back in our lives.
This technique spoke to my heart and my approach to the animals I have had join me through out my life even our vet after seeing him recently was very interested in learning about what we were doing.
Thank you again.

Trust Technique is the key to a peaceful life between animals and humans. It is so helpful to make everything regarding a life full of love, peace and harmony so much easier. I'm very happy that I was led to find the way to the work of James and his team. Feeling FEAR ful for the future.
FEAR (FeelingExcitedAndReady??). Kind Regards from Germany, Reiner

I used this to help me with a new horse who was nervous, but it also helped my other horse release tension and enjoy his life more. It also has now helped my daughters new rescue dog and my dogs too. I would not have thought this special type of meditation could have so much impact. Its like turning off a blaring TV set when we quiet our minds, the animals go “Whew! Finally, some peace” and can relax. I have never seen real magic before that works for me and my family too. Love, love, love the trust technique. It should be taught to all children, so they can use this understanding in their everyday lives. Imagine whenever there was a problem we all got present for a few minutes to settle and consider before or during a problem solving session. This is revolutionary work and will help so many animals and humans. I think you should get a knighthood for it. Bless you Sir James and Shelley.

This course has quite literally been a life changer for my animals and for me. By simply getting present with my standard poodle, Panda. I have been able to teach him things that traditional training methods couldn't. Through realization learning and our daily routine of getting present together and practicing creative reaction, our relationship has deepened exponentially. Panda now looks to me to determine how he should feel in many situations, and I am able to move forward in helping him to feel peaceful around other animals. I feel as if we have developed a trusting bond that feels like a true partnership.
I have also been working with our three parrots (two budgies and a quaker) and they have taught me so much about their process. Our budgies came to us very wild and even after one year, they were not warming up to me. After our third Trust Technique session, they now allow touch and have even started asking to come up on my shoulder. Thank you, James, for everything you do!! And now, on to the animal communication course. 🙂
Laurie Ingebritsen

Dear TT team, the trust technique came my way following my request for help (search online) to improve the relationship with my rescue dog and to be able to offer him what he needed/needs based on trust. It felt so natural to work/be with animals this way, with respect, attention, time and a peaceful mind. Living with a very sensitive rescue dog based on mutual trust and respect has given me so much new valuable insights (and lessons), we have both grown so much and still do. Thank you James and Shelley for your enormous contribution, knowledge, commitment and involvement to make such a difference in so many lives, animals and humans, I am very grateful for your work and the opportunity to participate (learn and grow)
Very much looking forward to taking the Animal communication and Crossfield classes after this video course and when ready my wish to apply for the Practitioner course next year! My intention, also to be able to help other animals, making a difference from survival to a peaceful life.

Warm regards, Hannah

Mind blowing. Wonderful technique. So worthwhile to know when working with any animal. Thank you so much.

I started the trust technique in 2020. It has taken a bit for me to work it through. It was a journey of a deeper understanding of myself and my animals and I didn't want to rush any of it. I had just completed my certification in dog training, and I was looking for a way to help anxious and aggressive dogs. Well, I got more than I bargained for in this program. I found a way to help my own anxiety & my dog's anxiety. With the benefit of a new option to help my clients, pet owners who were struggling to understand and work with their animals. This technique has been a complete catalyst of change in my own life. I hope I can eventually apply it to my business, so it can be the same stepping stone for my clients. I will be moving on to the practitioners
course.
Thank you James, your development and teaching of this technique, has been so very valuable.

Mooi,leerzaam, rust
Beautiful, educational, calm

The Trust Technique video course is profoundly life changing. It is not only for the help and healing we can help facilitate for our animals but also for the deeper changes and conscious healing for people. I truly see this as a new way to help heal the earth. I hope one day it can be taught to children so that young generations learn how to communicate, respect and love all the animals on the planet.

This course has literaly changed my life and my animal friends for the better! Its taken a while to slowly work through all the videos and integrate the subtle nature of how it works but the changes have been wonderful, graceful and surprising. I feel so peaceful, energized and happy from sharing it with the animals too. What I thought I was doing for animals, I realize has been equally for me. I am soooo excited to start the practitioners and share this grounded, loving and kind journey with others. Especially those people and animals who are highly sensitive and who experience empathy fatigue, this course has given me invaluable life skills and a much deeper grounded understanding of energy medicine. Thank you

The work Shelley and James demonstrate with our animal friends' tender personalities often brings me to tears in its beauty and rightness, but the depth of the healing they teach me to easily access in myself is, in its way, even more profound, as it remembers me to the rightful connected place we share in this explosive mystery of being alive! - right here, right now.

Words can not describe what this course had done for my dog and my horse. My Aussie has noise phobia and is terrified of fireworks. But have using the technique on him for a short period of time, this July 4th he lies calmly under my desk as the booms sounded around us. Some of the larger ones did trigger him, but I have never seen him so calm without medication.
It has always been my dream to connect and bond with a horse on a deep spiritual level. But my mare and I just didn't seem to have that connection until the Trust Technique. She follows me with the invisible lead and I am feeling so much more connected to her. Even the stable hands where I board her tell me she is so much more calm and laid back. This Technique is priceless.

What a different, positive and gentle way of helping your animal! I'm inspired and moved.
It's amazing what James can achieve in a very short time, even after everything else failed. I'm starting the Practitioner's course soon and hope I will be able to help many owners and their animals in the future.
The course material is great and the repetition of the main messages really helps them stick in ones mind.

On a superficial point of view , TT is a completely new way to work with animals …on a deeper one, in my opinion, is a new way "to be" with animals; no planning, no agenda, just be together in a different, peaceful, higher way. As an amazing, healthy side effects, everything you "do" in this relationship reflects the way you are… so peaceful, deep and meaningful. TT is really a true alchemy to let the higher self of two, ore more being , touching each other. Thank you very much!

This course has been so inspiring, I wish I had discovered it years ago! It's amazing watching James working with the animals and the owners. It's helped so much with my two dogs and I now wish to continue with the Practitioners course to help both animals and their owners find peace of mind and trust. I have already started the Communication course!

The Trust-Technique completely changed my life. I was able to help my deeply traumatized mare in weeks after trying for 13 years. She is now a new horse that is able to lay down with people around! My trauma was healed as well in the process... so much that I'm going to be practitioner to help other people around me too!

It is a wonderful technique to find trust and peace with your animals. When the bustle of thoughts takes over, we all strive for peace. It is also consciously taking time for your animal and for yourself. Take time to listen to your animals… continue at their own pace. Nothing is necessary, everything is allowed what they are ready for. I feel every day that I need peace and I share that feeling with my animals. They feel that I can help give this to them and that I am learning to understand them. I'm really looking forward to the next course! It is a wonderful course to follow, a rollercoaster of emotions during the exercises and the example sessions. But you feel that it's healing for the animals and for yourself.
I've never found anything so closely related to how I want to work with animals. I hope it spreads all over the world and that through small steps we can improve many people's way of approaching and prevent animal cruelty step by step.

It is incredible. So gentle but effective. I can't fault it

I loved the course. Simple.
Very moving and James and Shelley work with perfection. I could not find fault with anything or any methods.

Simply amazing. James and Shelly have a very deep understanding of healing and unlimited empathy.
Highly recommend.

Thank you so much James and Shelley - your knowledge is magic. I was blown away by all the video. The way James approaches the animals is of incredible grace. The calmness of James, his composure and his love for the animals are simply heart warming.

You changed my view of how to deal with animals. Especially with dogs. I have three dogs - each with stubbornness and in the beginning with little sense of coexistence - I was mostly managing. The TT Video course was the missing piece in my living together with dogs. And even if it sounds corny, thanks to the TT Video course I found the way with my dogs that I always wanted to go. It is the way I was allowed to discover thanks to James and Shelley.

I had a wonderful experience with the Trust Technique Video Program. It was simple, practical, and within a short span of time using a non-invasive method, to resolve issues that were unresolved for years. The great advantage of this technique is it can be used for animals and humans too. These changes can add more richness to life with peace of mind. The videos covering a wide range of animals allowed me to observe the different behaviours of responses was very beneficial for me. This learning opened a new approach to helping animals to build trust with humans by giving respect to them. I also thank you for sharing this knowledge to make this world a better place for animals and humans to experience together.

I have found this course immensely valuable, not only in helping me to better understand my own little dog but also in giving me a deeper understanding of all the animal beings we share this world with. Extremely heartwarming, thank you so much for doing this amazing work that you do.

I find the video courses set up very well. This allows me to learn at my own pace and look at difficult sections again or again.
I am totally enthusiastic about the technique. I had heard about it for a long time. But it was only with the translation that the video courses became valuable to me.
Some translations are still missing for the dogs. I would be very happy if this is still done. It's easier for me to filter out the subtleties in my native language.

Ich finde die Videokurse sehr gelungen. Damit kann ich in meinem Tempo lernen und mir schwierige Abschnitte nochmal oder immer wieder ansehen.
Ich bin total begeistert von der Technik. Ich hatte schon länger davon gehört. Aber erst mit der Übersetzung sind die Videokurse für mich wertvoll geworden.
Bei den Hunden fehlen noch einige Übersetzungen. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn das noch gemacht wird. Es ist für mich leichter in meiner Muttersprache, die Feinheiten zu filtern.

I have found this course to be a revelation. I am using the technique on both my rescue dogs and to be able to use the present moment to just gauge where their issues lie was very eye opening. The different energy of each dog enabled me to then really focus down on each of their needs.
I find the technique to be simple but incredibly effective and I think this is a great approach. The little lightbulb moments of learning I had throughout the course were very interesting and helpful.
I would completely recommend this technique and course to anyone who wants to help and live with their animals in harmony.
The videos were comprehensive and enabled me to see how the technique can be used in all of the different areas that animals need help in.
I loved it and I’m sure I’ll keep coming back to the course again and again when I need to clarify or refresh my learning.

Dear James and Shelley,

Thank you so much for this course...I completed it today and really enjoyed every video on it!!
To see the love and dedication of the 2 of you.... touched my heart so much.
The love for the animals which I saw in all the videos and with the rescue centres is something I will not forget.
I am also into animal foundations and therefore have had many trauma dogs from Spain and even without the TT course I saw them grow every day, month and year....but now with this course it helps my animals even more and faster in the future.
I just THANK YOU both for that!
The last 4 years I have 5 adopted horses....they come to my life suddenly ( or not) and now I feel even more how connected I am and will be in the future with those beautiful and amazing horses!!

And James the times I hear you say....sit LOVE and WELL DONE....hahaha
It is so with love for the animals and even here in my house we do it now and think about you :)!
Although we are dutch the animals do understand english or eh....our voices and what the intention is :)!

Thank you for this amazing course....I will be back and think about animal communication course first and who knows what the future holds!

My dog thank you as well :)))!
I wish you both and your families all the best!!
Take care and greeting from the Netherlands!
Sandra

The trust technique is the missing piece in my life, both on a personal and a career level.
Having started with the messages of trust( MOT), I was truly blown away by the contents within the video course and would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who wants the best relationship with their own animals, whether large or small.
The course is well set out into easily managed sections and I would frequently revisit the corresponding tutorial after watching specific consultations to consolidate what I had just watched and remind myself of areas I may have missed during the first time of watching.
Reading through other comments, there are suggestions for an in between video course as the gap between MOT and TT video course (both in content and financially ) is huge. ( not including the animal communication course).
Another way could be that as new consultations are added, some of the older ones could be archived into a separate section at the end, available to all who pay for the course but only needing to be completed as a prerequisite by those going on to the practitioner level. This keeps the video course manageable for those wanting to concentrate on their own animals, whilst reducing time/cost/management of another course. There are also some subtle changes in your practices from the first consultations, which though useful in a historical context may not be as valuable for day to day video course member usage working with their own pets.
I would also champion the use of the forums for questions and queries and make use of the practitioners giving their time at the end of the video course to further your own knowledge, understanding or for help if you come unstuck on a technical issue.
The Take Note pop up I used initially but found it didn’t always work well for me on all screen orientations or equipment I used, that said I am a confirmed pencil and paper girl as that works best for my head.

Thank you James, Shelley and team for putting your time, energy and life into this worthwhile course and personally I am looking forward to progressing to the next level- training as a practitioner and all the benefits it will bring to me personally, my animals, my family and my future clients.

It has taken 2 years to go through the TT course, because I watched most of the videos twice, to take it all in. Some testimonials left me spellbound and got me very emotional. I love the technique because it's simple but extremely powerful. I truly recommend this course if you want to help animals, and/or just deepen the interspecies connection.

Working through this amazing course has been a real gift for several weeks. Those weeks have been a fantastic ride on emotions and knowledge. All the videos are really wonderful and so full of emotions. And yes, they show that a really peaceful world could be possible if humans learned to lower their thinking mind and started to really listen to the language of emotions, which doesn't only connect us humans but every being on that amazingly alive planet. I have been into really a lot very interesting approaches like NLP, Taiji, Qigong, Coaching, etc. But now it feels like that I have finally arrived at the beginning of a search circle that took me into so many areas of ideas and concepts up to Integral Theory. Finally the circle of search closes in the wonderful simplicity of the Trust Technique. And that feels after having exhausted my mind for so many years in this course which has been really a confirmation and made me let go of some still hold tensions in my spiritual and nature focused world view. And that feels like that I have finally come home after a long journey. So thank you so much - well done - and I am proud of you for your work and proud of me finally being here. Peace of mind is really wonderful!

Dear Shelley & James,
TT ist the most wonderful technique i have ever heard about and i am so happy i was led to you to use it for my sensitive dog.
She learnt so much within weeks and it also helped me a lot to overcome old stories and experiences. I love your work. Thank you so much for the Courses. *************

I have loved every second of this course and have started the animal communication course also. There are so many hidden gems in each video. Moments of joy and intense emotion throughout. It has definitely improved the relationship with my fearful mare, the whole little herd is enjoying the energy. I have also been working with my elderly dog to calm her moments of unpeace. So much education and illumination in this course. Just when you think you may not see something different a new nugget of inspiration emerges. I have watched each video carefully and will be doing so again and again until it becomes second nature.

I have been truly inspired by this course. I have been working with gentle energy in many different ways with my herd of horses, and have noticed pronounced changes of behaviour over time with them all, however The Trust Technique puts the icing on the cake, and the results that you have shared with us through this course have been truly profound. I have been working with some of my more worried horses over the last few weeks, and am noticing a much gentler attitude from them all. The greatest gift is that one little pony will now allow grooming and hoof picking in his stable without threatening to kick us through the wall, and another my horses will now ask to have his headcollar on without biting and fussing all the time. Two huge achievements in such a short time! Thank you so much for sharing this technique with us all.

I am now endeavouring to embark on the Animal Communication Course! Excited!

I am so grateful to have found the TT and this amazing video course.
Thank you for developing this life-changing peace work and thank you for the big work to provide it to people all over the world!
As a psychotherapist working for almost 30 years, I am quite familiar with healing processes and various techniques, but with the TT it feels like arriving to the roots of all healing. Doing the video course two times (and certainly I will do it a third time) my view on animals, plants, mankind and myself has definitely changed. My watching and listening sense increases and my trust in life with all its challenges deepens. I agree to a previous comment: you should get the peace nobel price!

With greetings from Austria a short funny story about „TT revers“:
I live in a small village far away from main roads. The duck familiy (belongs to the farmer) often sits in the middle of our small road, having a chat or just chilling. Going to work by car, I have to stop after a few meters. The ducks look at me, giving me the present moment like: „Don‘t hurry, here and now you can be peaceful!“ Slowly they get up, walk a little bit to the side and continue their chat or sleep. Very relaxed they send me to my work with a big smile on my face. This is also TT ;-}

This course has been life changing for me and the relationship I have with my animals. It has shown me that the communication I always thought was possible and in fact exists with my animals is not a figment of my imagination but simply the result of mutual respect and listening - something I have always tried to do. Since completing the course, I have improved the relationship with my animals and have been able to help them when they go through any trauma. My horses are loved by everyone for their friendliness and desire to be around people. The wonderful thing about this is that folk who were previously scared of horses have lost their fear after hanging out with me and mine. I can't recommend this course enough and am constantly spruiking the benefits. Thanks so much to James, Shelly and team for spreading the word, the love and the compassion that all sentient beings deserve.

I am so grateful to have found this course. I was practicing on myself and realized how my dog was also relaxing. And the feeling following practicing, I feel so peaceful and alive. This feels like what I have been looking for and the level of a relationship of caring compassionate awareness is so beautiful. The world is in great need of this way of being.
Thank you

The first thing that struck me about the Trust Technique was the simple but effective practice of being in the Present Moment. As one who practices meditation, the instructions for quieting my mind were so much easier than any other method I’ve used in the past, and very achievable for everyone. Mindfulness has become a bit of a buzzword lately, and at times it seems like the meaning is being watered down. But the mindfulness practice of the Trust Technique is authentic. All the steps are well-explained and reinforced throughout all the videos, demonstrating in detail their effectiveness and allowing the learner to practice along with the process to develop their own awareness and timing of how to apply all aspects of the technique, the gentle dance of compassion and support.

It was the ability to be able to share this peaceful feeling with others that really touched me to my core! My very first horse had a quality that I’ve not seen in any other horse that I’ve known since. He was like a magnet to any horses who shared his space, they would gather around him with heads low, and usually held in his girth/heart area. And they would melt. All would stand quietly dozing and the comfort was palpable. I would watch them and wonder ‘How does he do that?!’. And how can I do that? And I’ve spent many years trying to figure it out. Well, I do believe I’ve now found the way! I’ve learned to ‘be’ that. When I stand with my horses, I think to them ‘We’re here, sharing Pepper energy’ and I know they understand. I can’t wait to see how our relationships and experiences grow! Pepper would be so proud!
Thank you for developing and sharing this exciting and empowering gift to help take us to the next level of exploring our interconnection with all others!

You should get the Nobel Peace Prize ...
In fact, this has been already suggested in another testimonial, but that's also exactly what I kept thinking throughout the course.

With the "Trust Technique" you, James and Shelley (in cooperation with Sunday, if I got it right ?) have created something unique - a peace-making method that is easily accessible to everyone in its clarity and ease.
For the good of all of us and our animals, I hope that more and more people will find and follow this path that you have opened up.
It has taken me to more than a few tears, moments of despair and deep sadness, then on to astonishment, surprise, new insights, relief and finally lasting deep peace and silent joy, which I’m now able to pass on step by step to my sensitive lovely little mare.

Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do! Thank you for your heart and commitment! And thank you and the whole team for all the support and the wonderful videos!

This course has helped not only my animals but ME to be more present every day.
My horses come to the fence wanting to receive the Trust Technique.
My cats (who are rescued feral cats) don’t let any other human in their lives but just recently my daughter was visiting from interstate and all three cats came to the lounge room at different times and stayed resting in the same room as my daughter. In the past they’d see someone else in the house and go into hiding until the person had left.
My dog is also more relaxed when we go out on our boat. She was previously unsettled by the movement but she is improving each time we go out.
The lowered energy is quite the opposite of what I’d been shown by traditional dog trainers with regard to energy.
The course isn’t too technical in any way so anyone can do it. I can’t wait to do the practitioner course because I think even my 8 year old granddaughter will love practising this with her dog ?

This video course contains such heartwarming footage of the use of the Trust Technique. It is amazing to see the endless possibilities within a relationship built on trust. It makes the impossible, possible, the unthinkable, thinkable and the hopeless, hopeful. The video course gives a very clear overview of how to apply the techniqe and how to know what to do in which situation. Very inspirational stories and the technique is explained so clearly, incuding the WHY, which makes it really good to follow.
I am very motivated to start with the TT Practitioner and helping a lot of animals by using this beautiful technique.

Thank you James and Shelley for sharing this with us!

This is life-changing, not only for animals and humans but for all life on the planet! The philosophy and practices impact us all; they bring consciousness to a new and very much needed height and will bring peace. Shelley and James should receive the Nobel Peace Price!

I am a student of Canine Behaviour Sciences and have found valued insights throughout this course. As a dog trainer, a label I hesitate to use, I absolutely find success in building trust as a primary pathway to living with companion animals. In fact, I'm so inspired by this course I couldn't wait to apply for the practitioner course, to which I foresee significantly changing my career with animals.

Thank you, James and Shelley!

Hello there,
as I am working with the Masterson Method we got taught to pay close attention to what the horse has to say to our doing. We have been asked to trust in our instinct and gut feelings and overtime the horses body language guided me most times through the session.
I learned with each horse how to communicate and what was important to them and that each of one of them were checking how much you pay attention to them.
But when I got into a deeper stage with them I was lost, I did know not to interrupt them in their process and this could go on for sometimes more then 30 min. ( This blow my bodywork session most of the time) I just knew it was good for the horse to let him sort it and wait until he comes out again.
But in this times I was in a grey zone of not know what I really was doing because that was not masterson anymore.
So I kept searching and the media of the internet and its algorithm guided me to TT.
Or you could say TT found me.
I did become a member of the TT video course and as I got along with the Course I knew I had to learn and understand it more to get a deeper understanding of the present moment and how to deliver a feeling without talking and much thinking.
The wonderful thing on TT is you can use it on "any living creature" and it works.

Hi! I got interested in the Trust Technique last winter. The work we had been doing for one year with our adopted sledge dogs was paying off. They had already changed so much, were doing amazing with pulling the sledge, and their interactions with both humans and their fellow dog companions had improved dramatically (...) The results are extremely encouraging so far. Especially with the time that I or my husband have been able to work with the TT daily. Of course, we certainly would have seen much faster results if we had only one animal to work with. But it’s also very rewarding to work with all of them and see how they react, the dynamic, etc. And it has improved the fluidity of our animal-human intuitive communication - the dogs have really opened up.
We’ve already come such a long way! I can't wait to keep practising. Thank you so much 🙂

Since I saw the first video about the trust technique I was fascinated by this way of life between humans and animals. I watched all the videos with curiosity and stunning and my heart is deeply touched. I got a lot of wonderful connections and adventures with wild animals in my garden and with my own animals which are donkeys, ducks, a rabbit and a cat. Since 2 years I am working as an animal-assisted therapist and I would like to rise up my knowledge by learning the exercises in the practitioner course! I like the way of teaching like James does.
Andrea

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. There have been so many benefits with our animals. The most precious has been a deepened heart connection with our dog Lara. We had been friendly flatmates, now it's so much more.

It has assisted me immensley with my relationships with people as well as delightful birds, animals and native animals. Sadly, my wonderful companions have all passed on before I knew about this course. My companions, I feel are with me whilst I am doing this course even though now in spirit form.
I am excited as the Teaches course, (not started yet) will empower me to spread the love, relationships and joy of being peaceful with all beings..
Living in Coogee, Western Australia, I am looking forward to sharing this delightful technique with the many humans and animals of all different types here. Thank you James and team for all the incredible videos. It is great to be able to go over them time and again.

Amazing content, full of hope for the relationship between animal and human. Finally a point of view with kindness, love, compassion. This feel so normal, I'm wondering why this was never share before.

One of my cats changed his behaviour of obssesional feed every evening. I hope their fear of the ringbell will change too.

I've noticed that animals see me in different way, when I'm quiet inside around them.
It's sure, I want to add this way to my pratice with animals.

Thank you James and Shelley

Thank you for this course and your wonderful work. I am from Germany and started the course about 4 months ago and started to apply the technique on my 2 sheep.
first, I thought I am unable to learn the trust technique or that I did not understand it correct as (in the beginning and for quiet a while - several weeks!) I could see no reaction on my sheep at all.
I continued because James often said: "just continue and it will work sooner or later." so I did. The first I noticed was that my relationship to my sheep changed. We had been very close already before the course, but now I could connect better to "their whole being" and I could feel and see that they also connected on a deeper level with me.
They became much calmer, much less excited and greedy for food, and more patient just being/ standing with me.
Then I noticed the chewing and yawning (I had never seen them yawn in the 2 years before). Now, they obviously look forward to our daily trust technique-meditation together - they fall asleep while I am doing it, sometimes snoring and totally relaxed, and for me it is a great joy to be in this absolute peaceful "room" together with them.
it was worth being patient for 2-3 months.
James, thank you, for sharing your work in this way.
Greeting from Germany, Kira

Love the new course content and structure!

So much goodness and wisdom and love here. Its an honour to be part of this wonderful community

Txx

Gosh where to start!

Thank you so much James and Shelly for providing such a beautiful course.

I have learnt such a lot, and loved to see all of the animals that you have both helped to overcome so many traumas.

The Trust Technique has been designed to bring peace and harmony to troubled souls – both animal and human, and help develop trusting relationships. The course is very in-depth, with plenty of consultations where we can see the positive effects of mindful regard, creative reaction and trusted cooperation in action.

It is invaluable in creating a relationship between the human and animal, and in my humble opinion, everyone should learn how to do this. In my particular case, I plan to open an animal sanctuary, which would not be possible if I did not have a grater understand of working with animals.

I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone who has or likes to interact with animals in any way.

A must for the greater awakening of humanity.

Thank you, I have learnt so much about animals and also myself. The course was very very comprehensive, and concepts that at first I did not grasp, were covered within the videos in a variety of ways, to truly embed the information into my consciousness, and in turn, my subconscious. Beautifully presented with compassion and warmth. Thank you James and Shelly, once again.

This course is extremely informative. It gave me the information I needed to address the behavioral issues in my animals calmly and efficiently. I enjoy the fact that there is no pressure or dominance in any of the teachings. Most animal handling techniques I've learned used either systems of dominance or some sort of pressure and release. It is so refreshing to see something that is cooperative instead of commanding. I'm grateful for what these videos have taught me, and I'm looking forward to improving my relationship with my animals!

Love, love, love this program. I am so grateful to everyone that was involved w/ creating this video program of the Trust Technique. I have a rescue dog that has many challenges from her experiences when she was a pup. We have worked with many top internationally renown dog trainers and I never really felt like we were addressing the core of her anxieties. I even had a vet recommend putting her on medication and I can honestly say, there were many days that I was ready to give up and put her on it. I even went as far as getting the prescription filled. But now I no longer feel the need.

Now that I have found the Trust Technique, she has been making tremendous progress and I'm confident that we will be able to overcome all of her challenges. I don't know what we would have done if we had not found this truly amazing and inspiring program.

Not only is the TT amazing, the way the online program is set up is top notch. The videos are in bite size chunks so it's easy to make progress even if you only can squeeze in 30 minutes at a time. The buttons on the videos where you can go back or forward 10 seconds is also super helpful. I've done many video courses and this production is second to none. The videos of the consults will bring tears of joy to any animal lover's eyes. What these animals were able to overcome using the TT was simply amazing.

As an added bonus it has improved my tennis game. I'm able to stay focused on the ball and keep my mind calm during and after points. Who would have thought that what I'm doing for my dog would help my tennis game 🙂

I thoroughly enjoyed watching all of the videos. Many of them touched me deeply and left me in tears which was a sort of sympathetic release response I think. There is a lot to get through, and naturally a lot of repetition, but I soon realised that this just confirmed the learning, so I feel as if I have learned a lot through observing James and Shelley doing their thing. It is certainly very effective in 'real life' too, and I find it amazing the way animals respond to something so essential and simple - wonderful. it really is like magic! For me, especially with the private consultations, I would love to have seen some more follow up videos or messages to see how the people got on by themselves and if the issue was totally resolved without James being in the mix. Inspirational. I just love how respectful it is of the individual animal, and it's so easy for humans to over-ride that. thanks for a great course.

My overall opinion is there is a wide range of experiences demonstrated, with good narrative to follow the concepts step by step through the 3 principles. This has provided a good demonstration of the technique to practice with confidence. If you can couple that with other techniques or theoretical understanding, eg. Meditation, mindfulness, hypnosis, psychotherapy, Reiki, natural horsemanship, Trust technique brings a greater depth to your interactions with horses and sets a beautiful pathway for sentient relationships. I was brought to tears by many stories shown in these videos and reminded of many similar stories from horses in my lifetime. Although I have been fortunate to have worked predominantly in this way with horses, I can think of many rushed moments with horses that have ended in frustration and regret. To quote a great horseman ' give a task an hour and it will take 10 minutes, give a task 10 mins and it will take an hour' The joy of working with your own horses first in this practice is you soon find you can enter a peaceful state within a couple of breaths. The healing power of breath is amazing. Peace and Release. Namaste.

Hello James & Shelley,
I was very, very impressed with your video course. Simple to use and easily understandable material. Well formatted, beautiful videos, well explained tuition section, lovely music, and especially the enormous amount of information and footage. I can see how you both put your heart and Soul into developing not just this method over so many years, but also into the teaching it via this course to others. There is a real positive vibe in your delivery, the lay-out of the page design and the logistics as to how to handle it, as well as the accessibility to personal help via chats, your swift responses and amusing language (such as the Harry Potter theme of the owl messenger in your automatic email response :)). In addition, James himself is a wonderful role model with his calm demeanour and loving personality.
I would also like to comment on the amount of video footage for so many different animals in this course, which is only meant for members and their own pets at home. Admittedly, I am surprised about the extensiveness of the material you offer just for your own personal use. It does have a rather professional training level feel to it (for instance the percentage of completion part). I could imagine, people who just want to work with their own animals, might not feel drawn to study the course in such detail about other animals or learn about how to conduct consultations. Very, very helpful and exciting for members such as me, who have decided to pursue a professional career in this beautiful method as a certified practitioner. For the ones who are not, a smaller package (but bigger than the "Messages of Trust") might be more suitable and also affordable.
For me, this course experience was fantastic, because it was exactly what I was looking for in my life at this time. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am very much looking forward to go all in with the professional training in June this year.

Working with the Trust Technique has helped me to work with and understand animals in a new way. I am have recently graduated as an animal healer and am very excited to be going on to study the practitioner course with James and Shelley. I know that the Trust Technique will help me to be able to help so many more animals and guardians. The depth of information here is incredible. It truly feels like these videos not only teach you how to do the technique but they support you and give you confidence to be able to do it well. It has already helped me to help my animals (cats, dogs, horses) to be able to find peace with situations that were causing them anxiety. To be able to help them in this peaceful and profound way is such a gift. Thank you!

This course has helped me to learn a new way of relating to and helping to heal my animals. The variety of situations that are covered in the course is hugely helpful in gaining insight and information as to how to help different animals and people in different scenarios. The information is given in a clear, relaxing and understandable way which lends comfort and support and helps you to feel that you can really do this and make a difference for so many. I have enjoyed using the videos to help me work through different situations with my various animals. To be able to help them find peace with situations that were causing them stress has been a huge gift to us all. Thank you.

I wonder, if it is possible that James French is a modern day "Saint Francis of Assisi (patron saint of animals)".

If I had to describe the course in one word "paradoxical" So simple, yet, miraculously profound!!

If "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.", then The Trust Technique scratches the surface of heaven!

On a practical note, the video course is clear and concise. The support is super, and the price is more than fair!

Much Gratitude and Warmth to James French and his team!!
Many Blessings,

I highly recommend the Trust Technique Video Course to anyone interested in interacting with the animal friends who share our world in a mutually-beneficial way. As a professional in the Equine Industry for many years, I find the Trust Technique Video Course to be of unprecedented value. It is a one-of-a-kind course that facilitates inner peace, understanding and cooperation for humans and animals alike. It is my wish that the principles taught in this course become mainstream. Thank you for the gift of this course! It has changed my life and the lives of the animals around me forever!! Marilyn Rickman

i absolutely love the Trust Technique. it has had such a profound effect on my animals and myself. We are all experiencing so much peace in our daily lives. This course has been what I have been searching for in my journey to embrace the human/animal connection and bond. It has strengthened my dog and I relationship and it has changed my horse training business and given me another approach to building trust and partnership. Thank you!!! This is truly a blessing.

The Trust Technique (TT) is a life-changer, both for the animal and the human. My story: I volunteer for the Animal Control Shelter in Gloucester, VA and discovered I have a real knack for helping feral dogs. Word of my work got to Goochland County and Springer Farm where misbehaving dogs end up to be evaluated - the final evaluation. The president of that organization contacted me about an aggressive dog they had that they felt acted more like a feral dog. With my background, they hoped I could help this girl that no one could touch. I drove to Springer Farm to meet her and made the decision to foster her. She couldn't be groomed or vetted - she wouldn't allow anyone to touch her. She was 1 year and 3 months. Previously to learning the TT, I tried everything. I had read countless books and took countless courses, tried deferring exercises, hired an aggression expert - all in the hopes of helping my very fearful, aggressive springer, Teak. Nothing worked until the TT. Teak was so sensitive it took many sessions in very small doses but finally, I saw a change in her eyes. The TT was working. She was gaining in confidence and trust and started to realize her way of protecting herself had no real purpose in her life with me. It was a milestone I never believed would come. And the part of the TT that totally resonated with me is that Teak was in control through Mindful Regard of her own emotional healing. We spent hours in the principles of the TT and our lives were forever changed. The bond - the connection - the intuition that she and I feel together fills our lives with joy, comfort, confidence and trust that has no bounds.

I've fostered many dogs over the last few years, taking them in when they first get rescued by the local animal welfare group and helping them to rehabilitate until they are ready to go to their forever homes. They always arrive in very poor physical condition and often deeply traumatised. Kindness, patience, and routine can work wonders but I have always felt more could have been done to help them but didn't know how. Now, I've found it in the Trust Technique and I realise I have been looking for exactly this for years. Thank you James and Shelley, I really look forward to starting the practitioner course. I love the simplicity of the method, yet it has such depth. It has added meaning to my own meditation practice. I've always loved the nature of non-verbal communication with animals, the joy that arises when connection happens. I feel that the practitioner training will bring a new profound depth and understanding, and I feel so grateful and privileged to have been accepted onto the course and to be able to start soon.

I've found the video course to be very good. for the following reasons;
I love its authenticity, nothing is contrived or stage managed.
The structure, in which the method is explained and then followed by numerous examples and case studies, is excellent. it has really helped to consolidate my learning and understanding.
Much of it, particularly the videos of the lions and bears, is immensely moving.
I really like and benefit from James's quiet voice and steady way of speaking. The dog in my care immediately quietens down and rests as soon as she hears James's voice, as do I.
The numerous consultations are very helpful, they've answered many questions I've had.
The videos are easy to access, the website is clean and professional in its appearance, and I like the structure of marking each section as complete before moving on (although I frequently forgot to mark complete and needed to go back through the videos to do this at the end).
There are multiple hours of footage and I've watched for 1 to 2 hours a night over the last 2 months. I've really benefitted from this immersion. Thank you for making it so comprehensive.

What a beautiful way of working with animals, at their own pace, and by reducing my own thinking into a listening mind. My spaniel has always had what I call "Itchy brain". I have long had a meditation practice, and I also do yoga, and the two cats and my spaniel like to be there when I'm doing this, and always fall asleep. It never occurred to me to actively direct the meditative mind towards them. I have started working with my spaniel, and I do notice her stretching and itching and yawning, so I'm looking forward to seeing where this takes us.

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 .

I have loved the trust technique video course. Practicing the trust technique for people has helped me to release some old panic and frustration. Being with my puppy in the present moment and mindful regard has also helped me build a lovely connection with her and support her as she grows and finds her way in the world. Seeing James and Shelley and the folks working with the dogs, cats, horses, lions and bears has been so moving and healing and reconnected me to a deep soft and authentic part of myself. I would like to continue my learning and practice as this has been a life changing experience.

I feel as if your videos and inspiration brings me back to the natural mindfulness I had as a child, effortlessly and beautifully at the time and lost over the years.

I'm so grateful that I found the Trust Technique!

I cannot recommend this video course highly enough for anyone who would like to share a deeper, more meaningful relationship with animals, humans and themselves!

The videos explore a wide variety of animals and their behaviour patterns and provide simple yet extremely effective solutions to emotional, physical and spiritual issues. It's a wonderfully presented resource, packed with heart warming and incredibly touching videos, that can be revisited time and time again. The videos leave you in no doubt that profoundly deep and peaceful connections are possible between all living things with patience, kindness, cooperation and persistence.

This video series is a beautiful, unique and very engaging learning experience - profoundly thought provoking and truly life changing!

Thank you James, Shelley and Team!

I am totally impressed and look forward to go for the practitioner study!

This course has changed me and my dogs life forever ❤️

Hello,

this video-course, in my eyes, is phenomenal!

From its content it shows a way of what is possible in the relationship between humans and animals. The structure, that leads through the course, is build up in a heplful organized way. The recommands of James French have been clear and understandable for me. I adore with how much tenderness and warmth both, James French and Shelly Slingo, show that there is a huge amount of pleasant progress possible by finding peace! By following the single steps of this technique I found out, that it also works with my dog and me, which astonishs me again and again, because the results are perceptible and noticeable within a few minutes!
James French explains the various steps well and he shows transparently, for example, when it is the correct time to start, to continue or to stop the different instructions.

This kind of work touched my heart deeply!
Thanks a lot for your incredible dedication and for sharing!

Warmth,
Merle D´Onofrio

I have Frosty, a 25 year old white shetland pony. His left eye is brown and the right eye is blue.
In 2013 he developed laminitis. 3 vets said to put him to sleep. I decided to help him continue. He did not look like he wanted to "leave" so we dug in and did our best to keep him going. He recovered.
Over the past 10 years Frosty had his ups and downs and some very long level periods of decent health.
When I arrive daily at his stall, he is normally standing up, head is over his half door, he nickers, wants his carrot then wants out of the stall when the carrot is gone.
This past November, two days before Thanksgiving, I arrived at the barn and he was down in his stall and appeared mentally gone.
He had rapid breathing with long non breathing pauses and weird whole body twitches at times. Frost is a boarded horse and the barn owner thought it was time to PUT HIM DOWN!. I sat next to him and watched awhile. I decided to try Quantum Energetics repairs (a type of energy work I do) to see if he would come out of whatever was causing him to appear as though he was on the way out. His kidneys were insufficient and his vagus nerve was inflamed. He required just two repairs, 1 for the kidneys and 1 for the vagus nerve. The repairs worked!
I observed him for about 10 minutes, and watched his eyes open and the lights were on again! He looked at me, shook his head, looked left and right as though to say, "where the heck was I when you arrived?!!" He then stood up and shook himself off then proceeded to whip open his stall door and wobbled his way outside.
Here is where the Trust Technique comes in. I had just started to practice the technique I had learned online. Frosty provided an opportunity for more practice and amazement. He was weak for a few days after he skipped his "check out time". He wanted to stay in his stall more rather than go walk about the farm grounds. So, I sat in his stall with him and practiced "staring". WELL, he responded to it! He slowly nodded off, then he lay prone and went into a deep asleep. We did this at about 2 o'clock for three days. After the third day in a row of it, he was back to his usual routine of greeting and going out to wander the farm grounds, visiting with the mares and his stallion buddies once again from his side of the fence. Now, he will lie down to signal he wants to do the Trust Technique rather than go outside, so we sit in his stall to stare and he snoozes. I should mention that Frosty has his own cat named Iris. She is white also. She sleeps under his manger in his stall. The first day we did the stare for Frost after his short lived unwell episode, she crawled out and sat on my ankles and purred the whole time with her eyes closed. Another cat, a wild tom cat new to the barn, happened to pass by the open stall door. He stopped, looked in, then walked in and looked up at my face then at the purring Iris. He crawled into my lap and began doing flips until I petted him then let him stay on my lap. He too began to purr. Then 3 other cats came into the stall and lay on opposite sides of Frosty purring. I was amazed and pleased with my cat buddies! We all sat there with Frost for about 2 hours doing on and off staring while he lay stretched out deeply snoozing, off in some other realm. We continue to do this on the occasional days now when Frost just wants to lay rather than wander the farm . He really seems to get a charge from it which keeps him going to visit his farm friends. I am very surprised by the results for Frosty and so pleased as well!

So grateful that I found your technique. The insights I have experience from learning your work go deep within, changing my own expression with life. I knew it was special as it requires the simplest instructions to begin…. Every single person on this planet recognizes their lack at communication. The tools we are offered cause so much grief. This beautiful method….this amazing bag of tools for communication is life changing if you allow…
And it's really good for animals!! Bless!

Awe me and Cleo my cat loved this course, I bought it some months earlier after watching the initial video:
Messages of Trust as I was so touched and moved I wanted to support this gentle, simple yet highly powerful program for the Trust teams future projects so I purchased the next TT Video Course.

Cleo was at her end of life stage and through this program I learned how anxious she was (I thought it was just me) and thinking back she had been over the years, I only wish I paid attention more when I connected with the Trust-Techniques; Message of Trust introduction first time around 2007 ish. Where I could have improved the lives of the other animals I had at the time, I can see where things could have been more peaceful with this practice. Hindsight! Clarity is such a gift...

We had some unforgettable deep moments, between Cleo and I during her final weeks, a closeness on another level, there was such emotion and other beautiful feelings, that I was privileged to feel. Cleo was 18 when she moved on, that last day she slept so soundly and so relaxed, I hadn't seen her like that for a while (her kidneys was troubling her)

Ive used many many products to release emotions, heal, improve state of mind over the years etc, Reiki is a wonderful tool I enjoy very much, but this is on another level...

Highly recommend it, my own life has improved so much and my focus is now Peace of Mind.

Thank you Trust technique team for bringing this public. Its a true blessing.

Lots of love
Anne-Marie

What a wonderful tool to connect and be with the animals. I`ve already had so many touching moments with the horses and donkeys in the shelter I am working as a volunteer. They love being in the Present Moment and I love sharing this moment with them. It makes us immensely happy. Thank you!

I would recommend anyone who cares about animals to take The Trust Technique Video Course. I have learned so much by watching the many varied stories. Tissues were required at times but The Trust Technique is so powerfully healing. Not only has it brought Peace and joy to my little rescues, but it has been such a positive part of my own life through lockdown.

Transformational! Not only for animals but also for me!

Having just completed the TT video course for the second time I am convinced this technique James has developed is absolutely wonderful.
My daughter owns a very troubled horse which she purchased this year and we are keen to start working with the “technique” which is really an attitude and state of mind towards our fellow beings.
James’ empathy and tenderness with which he communicates is astounding. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to have access to this precious knowledge and pray I can put it into practice and be of benefit to animals that come my way.
With Peace, Patience and Persistence…

Dear James, Shelley and Team
Five years after buying the Trust Technique online course I was finally able to take space and time for it. Thank you for the wonderful Trust Technique course full of love and caring, providing humans and animals with peace and patience.
Greetings from Basel, Switzerland
Sonja

I am so grateful that I found the TT, it has changed my life. And I wonder what the world would be like if we all treated each other this way. Wonderful to see what a difference it can make in the lives of animals and people. I have never come across a method that works with so much respect and consideration for the animal.
I really enjoyed watching all the videos and listening to James. I have learned so much!
I would love to take the practitioner course to learn more about the TT and to be able to help people and their animals with this wonderful technique.
Thank you James and Shelley and the team

I've just completed the Trust Technique Video Course for the second time and was able to understand and appreciate so much more the second time...
Animals have always played an important part in my life and I've had a wonderful career as an equine therapist. Throughout the course there have been many "Ah Ha" moments when I now understand the response, feedback, feeling, intuition I was experiencing from different horses over the years and I am so grateful to James and Shelly for this new awareness.
Using the Trust Technique with my two recently re homed dogs has been invaluable in helping them settle in and support them with any issues that they are carrying/arise. I don't always know the history/details around these situations, but I can now create a safe space for them to feel peaceful and gradually release.
Thank you James, Shelly and your team again for all the time, effort and excellent teaching content of this course which is truly inspirational and I highly recommend:).

Absolutely fantastic and Life-Changing! Thank you James and Shelley for creating this magnificent program, where we get to listen and communicate at a very different "frequency" with animals. We go in it to help our beloved animal friends, and can quickly realize that many times it is US that need the healing first. The name should perhaps be The Trust Technique Healing Video Course! 🙂 The guidance in this program has made me realize SO much about myself, and how I react to situations, which is being mirrored in my dogs. Truly life-changing at so many levels! since the principles are applied not only with animals but with life experiences in general. The course itself is very well put together and organized, and so many various examples! I don't feel words are enough to describe the impact the trust technique has had in my life and healing journey. Deeply grateful to have found The Trust Technique.

My deepest thanks for all the valuable and deep content provided. I already learnt so many things.
I really appreciate your wonderful work which is more than important these days in this world.
I feel very honoured to have the possibility to join the Trust Technique Practitioner course and to become part of this beautiful story.

Well, I guess the best review I can give is that I have signed up to train to be a facilitator of this heart-opening, authentic and impactful work. Coming from a background of abuse and disconnect, physical, mental and spiritual in nature, and having healed in so many ways, I understand that trauma is at the root of any behavioral issues. If healing is to happen, this root must be addressed, both in people and animals. Never have I seen it done more beautifully and simply than in the Trust Technique. All that is required is a willingness to be present for 30 seconds at a time and to go at the animal's pace with patience, perseverance and peace. I often have wondered what the world would look like if everyone were to mindfully regard not only each other, but for all life and Earth itself. Doing this course has given me a glimpse into what that might look like. I have been moved and inspired at my core.

The Trust Technique is exactly what I want to "give" to animals and their humans.
I have really appreciated the way that the videos are carefully chosen. James French comments are really helpful.
It has been a pleasure to practice the technique with my animals. I can see how much good it brings to them and to me!
I've used it to accompanied my dog in the last weeks of his life and it was a very rich and powerful experience for both of us.
Thank you!

I am deeply touched by the Trust Technique and the opportunity to explore it together with my dog. It definitely affects our relationship in a beautiful way. It is such a soft and natural way of being together. Every time I go through this course, I experience it as new and learn more. Thank you so much!

I am not unfamiliar with the world of thought that I dived into with the TT video course, yet so far in my life I have not understood how to really live the principle of connection and security in EVERY relationship! Again and again I was insecure and driven by thoughts like: "if you don't want to, then you won't", which made me cut the connection. I used to live this way very often in my human relationships (because this is how I experienced and "learned" in my family of origin), but fortunately I was able to change it in the course of my life. With my dogs, however, until recently I was still stuck with the idea of achieving their willingness in certain situations by only allowing them to "bond with me" if they adhered to a certain rule (stay with me and don't go hunting on their own).
Now I experience how nice it is for me and my dogs when I point out these rules, which still exist and are necessary, IN CONNECTION with them and make their observance so pleasant and nice for them that they naturally want to keep them! The difference lies in the "unconditional connection", a connection from me (to myself and) to the dogs, which cannot be cancelled by anything. And especially when something unexpected or unknown to all of us happens, maybe even threatening, it is an immeasurable treasure to know about such a bond and to be able to live it!
Many experiences and insights of my path so far fit into TT, confirm what is there and enrich it. But to live the inner attitude of "being peaceful" so consistently and to REALLY ALWAYS adopt it as a teacher of my dogs is a huge gift for me! The videos help me a lot to see again and again with different animals this constant peaceful attitude of humans! Because I can put myself in these situations very well and experience them, I FEEL this peacefulness and can thus transfer it well to situations in my real life!
I am full of joy to have found TT and to have been given this great value for my life!
I would like to mention that I find the structure of the course, as well as the tutorials and the always very friendly, supportive way of teaching really great! Also the support I get in the group with my questions and thoughts is wonderful for me!
To you, Shelly and James, I am filled with gratitude --- and yes: I am honoured to be a part of your community!

This technique is SO inspiring! While I am working thru the program slowly, I can see each time I watch a video, how beneficial this method can be for so many animals. I am very grateful to be a part of this program!

An outwardly simple process that truly becomes an art. When I started this Video Course I was excited by the feeling inside but had no idea the impact it would have on my Being. It has taken me back to so many parts of myself that may have been buried and fired me with a renewed sense of purpose in my life. To find such a shared space with animals of all species feed a dream for me. It is brilliant in its simplicity and complexity and seems to bring out the best part of people and animals. Thank you James and Shelley for creating this profoundly well developed platform for others to step on to. I can only imagine the effort it has taken to make these offerings digestible for such a broad audience. I consider it a privilege to have been able to share this with so many amazing students/participants of the Trust Technique. What a team you have created around you also. I cant recommend this practice highly enough. It should be taught in the mainstream as a part of Reconnection Ecology!!!

I am so grateful for this course. Watching these videos isn't only helpful for the animals, but it has also given me a personal deep healing. I wish everybody could learn this at school, that would bring about a much more peaceful and better world.
Thank you!

As a result of practicing the Trust technique, I have become a more peaceful person. And the inevitable result is that the interactions I have with other beings are more peaceful. In combination with practicing the Law of Attraction for a number of years now, studying and practicing animal communication and now another brilliant piece of the puzzle, Trust Technique, my life is transforming before my eyes. I experience more joy, have more fun and am happy most of the time! The results I see with my 2 dogs is remarkable! Their confidence has soared. They are able to enjoy life more and more.

Thank you for this wonderful course and for all the peace you are bringing into the animal and the human world. Peace, a key word in our relationships, be it with animals or with humans. I’ve learned so much about myself and about my relationship to animals (and humans!), more than I’ve ever done through all the books I’ve read.
The mix of theory and practical videos makes learning the TT easy and enjoyable. Practical advises have greatly enhanced my daily life, showing how I can bring more peace into it. Never getting tired of watching all these wonderful videos again and again! Thank you so much for sharing the wisdom you have gained over the years.

The Video course switched the lights on for me. Having struggled with my relationship with horses and people it became clear that peace is the answer and that's why I am currently doing the Practitioner course and spreading peace whenever and where ever I can. It has changed the relationship between me and my horse, those around me and myself.

This is the most rewarding education I have ever received. This course has been so thoughtfully put together as to cover absolutely any question imaginable in the world of animal healing. The wisdom passed on by James and Shelley is more valuable than anything I've learned in a classroom or from a book. Geniuses, they are!
I am so very grateful to be a part of the Trust Technique family and to have been given the benefit of the same principles as we offer the animals we are helping: Peace, Patience, Persistence and Purpose. It has been a long road for me, but because of these 4 things, I have been able to work through my own blockages, continue on the path of learning, and to feel confidence in the gifts I have to share.
Feeling incredibly blessed. Thank you James and Shelley xx

Coming across the Trust Technique and this course was like finally finding the way of relating to animals I had been searching for my whole life. So many previous "training" methods left me feeling uncomfortable and sad, as if I were betraying the animal and myself. Here, finally, a golden door opens.
The course is well constructed and thorough. The explanations of how to use the present moment are clear and easy to follow. The exercises for humans have proved invaluable to me in my challenging life circumstances. Watching James work with multiple animals of various species is SO helpful. The repetition builds it solidly into your brain, and helps you gain a real subtlety and awareness in how you see the animal and its reactions. Each animal shows up a little bit differently.
I recommend this highly to anyone who owns, trains, or cares for animals. Actually, if you're a human being reading this, learning this technique just for yourself is well worth it.

First of all, it is wonderfully prepared, extremely rich in content and absolutely professionally constructed. The trust technology itself is the right way into the future and will finally steer people's consciousness in the right direction without dominance and fear. An enrichment for this world ! Thank you !

I have found my life's purpose. I am going to be a Trust Technique Practitioner and help animals and their people. And I am sure I will go on learning after that and be a coach if possible.

Having learnt so much about the essence and application of The Trust Technique through this incredibly detailed and guided video course it gave me a burning desire to train as a TTPractitioner enabling me to share this incredibly powerful technique where we truly do come together in partnership with our animals. I hope that each and everyone watching these videos will feel that deep connection, a calling, whether it is to support your own relationship with your animal in this way or to take it to the next level and coach it. Either way, for every human that embarks on this journey it creates steps towards a compassionate, caring and beautiful co existence between humans and animals all over the world.

Thank you very much for this wonderful course!
It helped me understand animals (in particular horses and dogs) and their behavior much more. I already had the feeling that I wanted to have another contact to them in another "better" way and this course gave me the answer

I absolutely love this video course I have watched it at least 3 full times It is fascinating and watching the peaceful exchanges gives me hope for all the animals we encounter
Thank you

I love the simplicity and yet the effectiveness of the Trust Technique.

I found this course absolutely fantastic, well presented and highly informative.
Watching the videos, again and again, I was amazed by the care, attention, respect and great love given to the animals every time.
At some point, I started comparing James French with Eckart Tolle, the author of the bestsellers
"The Power of Now" and "A New Earth".
And I started to call James "the Eckart Tolle of animals".
With their teaching of Presence, Peace of mind, Patience and Perseverance, James and Shelley are really creating a New Earth.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Angelina

Absolutely awesome, heartfelt course.

Thanks for the content in YOUR DIRECTION!

So essential to know where I should stay with my new learned knowledge and what could happen. Very good that I heard about that right at the beginning of my course.

Love, Maria

Very informative and fascinating course.
This proves once again that the solutions lie in the subtle sphere (the sense of unity and understanding lies in silence ...) and not in the rough sphere (of noise, screams, imposition).
I have a training in complementary therapies, in particular in Energetics and Craniosacral biodynamics, so this and other basic concepts of the course were already familiar to me.
But one thing here particularly struck me, the fact that we can cure the human through the animal; or rather both. Here in fact the person finds an additional stimulus to change attitude, having to work with his animal. In fact, not always by treating only the person, this one has the strength to change!
Another consideration: peace of mind is really necessary in relationships with one's animal. Too often people have a too emotional relationship with the animal, from which they have too many expectations or reflect compensations of all kinds, even thinking of mistaking an animal for a human being, replacing human relationships with it.
On the other hand, the peace of mind that gives true presence among living beings, should be more taught among people: to be with their children and understand them, with their partner, their family and in other relations of society. But it is good to know that by learning these techniques, to be present with your own animal, a person can then apply these techniques also to relationships between people.

What a wonderful and very valuable course!
Looking for tools for more confidence in general, I came across the TT on the internet. Here I find a simple way to help, both animals and people in my environment, to find more confidence. It is immediately applicable so I have been able to improve many situations with my horse at home. Just that they keep their heads still when putting on the halter, or give the deworming in a quiet and gentle way ... The general atmosphere has also changed as a result.
My own issues have also been given a chance to surface in a workable way.
So for me this is the course I was looking for (maybe for 30 years!) .
And I still want to learn more!

Thank you James and Shelley !

I enjoyed the course the first time i did it, but since it has been updated ... wow so informative and inspirational, and i pick up more every time i listen. Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do and this beautiful resource.

I came across The Trust Technique through the gentleman who owns the land where I graze my horse here in New Zealand. I looked it up and watched the free introductory video. After watching that I knew I had found something special and enrolled in the course.
I have found the course so amazing it has changed my life and the focus of my life. I have the intention of completing the practitioner course and I'm excited about learning more about The Trust Technique and improving my skills. Thank you so much, James and Shelley.

Now I have done the video course 2 times (some parts 3 times) and realise that I am still learning new things. It could be because English is not my mother language or because the Trust Technique is triggering a dynamic process. Perceiving animals on a different level seems in my case to lead to a more intense self-perception, which certainly affects my entire life. .... a very exciting experience and challenge.
Thank you very much

The TT did not only meet what I had been dreaming of when I was a child but has a depth and a significance with animals which is mind-blowing and so much needed in the world today. Above all, it is a beautiful way of self-development which supports your daily challenges. The video is very professionally structured and installed. Very much to learn and every part is well explained. For me, as a German native speaker I enjoyed James speaking clearly and not fast. So therefore it was not exhausting to listen to the courses. Thank you for this beautiful, excellent and necessary work. Be blessed.

To be able to connect with all beings in such a gentle and loving way is a true gift. I feel honoured to be able to share it with my animal soul mate. Thank you Shelley and James, for sharing it with us xxx

The TT course is a brilliant way to watch firsthand how and why all the different elements of the trust technique are there.

The videos are gently paced and clear in their explanations and so even someone who has never had a personal session can still learn for themselves how to do TT for their own animals

The most amazing aspect of TT is how it works so well for so many horses ( and even humans!)

Thank you James and Shelley for this incredible course! It has taken me on an amazing and incredible journey, and I've been amazed at how animals respond. The Trust Technique (TT) is a revolutionary Technique years if not decades ahead of its time! Not only that, the principles are delivered in a clear and organized way, and the learning is incredible. I look forward to taking the Practitioner course, and to the time when I can bring peace of mind and healing to animals as a TT Practitioner.

James, you are right about this being the future for animal communication and training. It's difficult to imagine any other way, after seeing how efficient the Trust Technique is for communicating with animals. After Trying it with my animals and seeing how well they respond to it, I realise that any change has to be done at the animal's pace. For example, my dogs are very sensitive to having anything done to their paws and ears. However, by using Mindful Regard I was allowed to touch all paws and ears. That is a great start for them.
Like many other dog trainers, I have always had a thing for animals, particularly dogs. Some people call it an affinity, but no one really knows what the thing is. However, you've come along and took this thing and explored it; researched it; tested it; applied it and most importantly, gave the thing a name: The Trust Technique. Well done! I am definitely looking forward to being a practitioner.

I stumbled upon a commercial of the TT on youtube and was caught by it from the very first moment. I have a 17 year old Haflinger horse Anton whom I have since he was 6 months and I rescued him from the butcher. I also have a little sweet and wild cat Lilli that was found on the street by her previous owner. So I that there are some matters I would love to do the TT with both of my animals. And I started with Lilli the cat. As she had wild reactions and scratched me all over. Not because she was mean no, she was happy but over active and didn't know how to handle her energy as she was found as a baby without mom. And the more I did with present moment and mindful regard the better it was. And now she can play with me very wild still but she doesn't pull her claws any more. She is nice and soft with me.
Also my horse Anton. I did train him to lift his legs gently since he was a baby. But he love to pull the front legs away whilst I like to clean them or when the barefoot trimmer works on it. So I also did TT almost every time when I was with him, means between 4-5 days a week and I did TT first as James says in his peaceful place and then slowly I started in the cleaning area. I also told my barefoot trimmer what to do and we tried sometimes to chit chat next to Anton. Well he didn´t like that so I just told her not to speak with me whilst I do the TT next to her and Anton came down to level 2 I would say most of the time and she could do the hoof without any problem. And we are still keeping progress on that and other things I would like to work better in trust.
What can I say, I am just so impressed of what you and Shelly do with animals to help them and the owner. I can´t find words, it is a deep feeling that also helps me with the TT for humans. I want to thank you for that. Thank you for sneaking into my land my animals life. And I am looking forward starting with the coming up practitioner course. Thanks from my heart to you and your team too. You do a wonderful job for animals and humans. Best Christiane, Anton and Lilli

The Trust Technique is the most beautiful and fulfilling Way of being together with and teaching Animals I have ever come to know. I am so grateful that you,James and Shelly, made it possible that we all can learn and benefit from your truly wonderful work. It is so full with Joy and Love, it is fair and peaceful and just everything i was looking for❤️Thanks to my lovely Dog Fina i found you and the Trust Technique. We still have some Issues to solve, she came to me with a huge Bundle of it and some of them we even share ???? So we both can heal and trust in Life again. Also my Pony's love those Sessions with me, now it is not only treats and food that make me interesting for them but even more so the peace of Mind we share. The Trust Technique has changed my view upon life and it is clear to me that i want to stay on this path. If i fulfill the requirements I would love to enrol in the Trust Technique Practitioner Course. What could be better and more fulfilling than help the Animals and their humans? Bless you all, Peace and Love shall be with you❤️

This is exactly the approach I was looking for to use my gift with dogs to help animals and their owners live a more compassionate and fulfilling life together. It is a good complement to my reiki training for animals and I cannot wait to complete my practitioner level to be able to help as many animals and owners in a kind, compassionate and respectful way. Thank you a thousand times!

Wow...
I really don´t know what to say.
So much information, peace, help for me and my dog.
It really works. Changed my life, my perspective in so many ways.
Now I need to become a TT Practitioner to share this with everybody who wants to change the way of treating animals (and themselves).

Just thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul

This course has an amazing amount of content and information. So many helpful examples and wonderfully uplifting moments.

I would recommend the TT Video Course to anyone who loves animals! There is so much content and useful footage that can be referred to for any situation you might be experiencing with your animal. The situations that are healed and overcome with James's use of the TT and his unbelievable intuition are just amazing! Loved every minute of these videos!

These videos and teachings are priceless. It is amazing to witness the transformations in animals. I have been so grateful and am now enrolled in the practitioner course! This work is invaluable and this course provides the confidence to be able to offer it.
Thank you James and Shelly for the AMAZING gift of the Trust Technique and the great instruction and wisdom!!!!

Thanks for this great video course❤️

It's lovely to be part of a community which recognises and honours the intelligence of animals. To attune to, regard and allow animals to have a voice without judgement, without dominance within a mindfulness theory is truly exceptional. Mindfulness is an ancient practice which was brought to medical clinics in the West in the 70s. With the advance of brain imaging studies, neuroscientist have found that a regular practice of mindfulness in humans changes the structure of the brain. Can you imagine practicing mindfulness with your animals? Not only will your brain change but also your animals brain will change too. You will find peace of mind and so too will your animals.
Majestic!

This Technique has been helpful for me in building a better relationship with my horse. Not that we have had a bad relationship, but I just hadn't felt as close as I'd like to feel with her. I feel it is helping me to understand her better. Sometimes I can be in a bit of a rush and have too much thinking in my head which I believe has caused her to feel uncertain or uninterested in working with me. At first, I had a kind of a hard time getting into the present moment with her and was trying too hard and for too long. But then once I learned to regard her and what she was feeling, it all went easier and I now really enjoy our "present moment" time together and the peaceful feeling that it gives us both!

Sometimes in my training with her, I can get a bit impatient as she sort of "checks out" instead of keeping a dialogue with me. So this is helping to keep our relationship close and more trusting. I am loving our new and improved relationship even though it has been a subtle change, I do feel it is better.
A bigger issue I am having is with riding on the roadside when a fast or loud vehicle passes. Sukie gets tense and jumps sort of violently to the side and tries to run off. It is hard to work on this as I have no control over the passing vehicles and the timing, speed, and loudness they pass. This is my biggest challenge currently. I have done the visualization exercises and it hasn't seemed to help yet, but I will continue to work on this. I appreciate all that I am learning from this Video Course and look forward to the Practitioner Course next month!
Thanks so much,
Debbie Watts

I am a Certified Practitioner for Large and Small animals because of the Video Course and the wonderful support and teachings of James & Shelley. It took me on a journey I could not even imagine until I took this step into the Video Course. I have been a horsewoman all my life and always seeking more knowledge to help them live a peaceful life and gain trust and cooperation with them. This course put my evolution into light years speed! So well explained, organized and simply beautiful to watch and learn. THe door is truly open for me now to the hearts and souls of animals in a way that brings more peace into every interaction in my life - with animals and humans. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul! The journey continues!

Barb Vince - Trust Technique Practitioner

The video course is a joy to watch. It hooked me from the first moment. I have found it really inspiring and it has enabled me to go on to the Practitioner Course which I am really enjoying.
It would help me to see some more videos of how the animals progressed after James had taught the owners and carers. It was so good to hear for example about Ares the lion getting a mate to share his area with him or that the bears who were then able to join other bears in the outdoor area.
I know that I will go through the course again and again. It is great to see new videos pop up!
Thank you to James, Shelly and the TT Team.

I love the video course. I found it really easy to follow and understand. It helped me find peace with the passing of my beloved dog Ollie, which made his transition over to be a peaceful one. Thank you. I am now a trust technique practitioner and the video's are great if I need help with a consultation.

Hi James and Shelley,
I love the new format of the video course. The structure is very organic and makes it so much easier to access specific contents of the course. Where I had to search sometimes intensely for a particular topic before, I can now find what I am looking for with one glance.
To use a phrase from James: well done!

The Trust Technique video course is absolutely jammed packed with information, direction and examples of just exactly how the trust technique works. The exciting realisation is the trust technique works across so many species of animals, and even humans. The decision making progress using TT is brilliant.
I highly recommend

The video course is a truly inspirational encyclopaedia of healing wisdom that I refer to time and time again. A comprehensive guide showing the vast possibilities of healing ourselves and animals with a simple but profound technique that anyone can do, deepening our connection to the natural world and sharing the beauty of the present moment with out fellow sentient beings. A massive Thank You to James and Shelley for bringing the healing power of Trust Technique to the world.

I could go indefinitely throuth the Video Course as there is always new information to take.
This video course is beautifully structured and laid out and I enjoyed every moment of it !
I am very exited to start with the Practitioner Course although english is not my native language and am very grateful, thank so much James and Shelley !

What a wonderful couse, thank you! 😀

The TTVC has opened my life into a new way of relating to animals and to myself. TTing myself has given me more serenity in the unpleasant events and adjustement in action.

The new format video course is such a beautiful way to learn the Trust Technique to work with your own animals. It is transformative and a beautiful way to be with animals.

For a decade, I rehabbed feral dogs for Gloucester Animal Control in VA. Word got to Springer Farm in Goochland County about the work I was doing. Springer Farm is a special kennel where very needy, ill, or behavior challenged dogs go for evaluation. There was a one-year old no one could touch. I was asked if I would foster this young girl who was fear aggressive but acted more like a feral dog. When I met her, a connection happened for me instantly. The decision was made to bring her home. I called her Teak. She was hard-headed, distant, and yet somehow sad. Teak could not be handled or touched in any way. She scanned constantly for danger and was a real concern for everyone's safety. She would attack in a nano-second and even though I was a dog trainer, I couldn't see the clues of warning. I paid for a number of different approaches: behaviorists, animal communicators, aggression experts and other trainers. Nothing helped Teak - UNTIL I discovered the Trust Technique. I started with the Messages of Trust and moved on to the video course. For the first time, I had hope -true, undeniable hope.
I followed the course with joy and enthusiasm and my girl responded. Improvement came in small doses but improvement none the less. Her overall demeanor softened. Her eyes rounded. The shallow breathing deepened. Then one day during my next offering of the Present Moment she went into a zero thinking level state. I watched as her body jerked and she kicked and her muzzle distorted. She was healing from her emotional trauma. I could see the energy coming to the surface. I watched and waited. Then, she was awake - head up and looking deeply into my eyes like she had never seen me before. From that moment forward, our lives have been different. She has confidence. She looks to me when questioning something. She moves gracefully and with poise. I believe she is finally happy in her own skin. This miracle of the Trust Technique has made such a profound change to my life I have vowed to continue to grow and learn by signing up for the practitioner course. What I have seen with my own eyes is too valuable not to share. Teak and I are full of gratitude for this amazingly simple but totally grounded and profound Trust Technique.

Fantastic course , I just loved it so much I gave gone through it 3 times and will be doing it again . Even though I'm a Trust Technique Practitioner , I still love watching the videos

The Trust Technique Video course has been so powerful and informative. I have spent many years gaining trust of the little chap in this picture who sadly lost an eye in a horrific dog attack before his rescue. We had progressed well together but the Trust Technique has helped him significantly. His original rescuers were amazed at the difference in his confidence when they last “inspected” us.

The Trust Technique has brought a sense of calm to me as well and a fabulous deepening relationship with my other beautiful horse too. Thank you so much. I am now going to immerse myself in The Practitioner Course.

The new format of the video course is just perfect, I often return to sections of the course for reference and reminders. This course is such a blessing for all the animals we work and live with. Thank you.

I’m going on to do practitioner course; love the structure and the teaching and learning involved.

I learned a lot watching the video course, it shows that the basics of the Trust Technique are really simple and they also show that using the TT needs a lot of practice to perform it really well and get the timing right. Therefore it's helpful that there is a lot of repetition

Excellent course. Changes in every way the way we consider and view animals. My relationship with my two horses has changed forever using the trust Technique. If ther is a problem, I now have the tools to correct in a very gentle and effective manner.

This is a whole new way at looking at animals in all areas; relationship, training, trust, communication, respect, etc. Animals are so intelligent, it's the human's inability to understand and communicate. We need to try harder and this course provides the tools. Excellent information presented in a very simple and interesting manner.

Has changed my relationship with my horses forever.

What a wonderful course, thank you! 😀

This video course is amazing to say the least. I have watched the video stories over & over & each time I am able to pick up different things as my understandng & practice increases. This course also allows you to increase trust in yourself & that for me has been life changing

The video course has been great as I've been able to access the course as my availability permits. The combination of teaching approaches - audio and video has suited my learning styles. The skill and expertise of James and Shelley is just phenomenal and to see the positive impact of the Trust Technique on animals has for me, motivated me to sign up for Practitioner Programme. Thank you James and Shelley.

I Love the video's, very helpfull because its visual. Good to follow not to long and the explaining is very clear.

I've gone thru the video course twice and each time, you gather new information. It is put together so well and definitely keeps you coming back for more!

I have loved horses all my life. I did not have my own horse until I was 19 but I would jump at the chance to be with anyone's horse if they would let me. I loved every horse movie and read every book I could about horses and about adventures with horses. After many many years, my husband and I have horses of our own, on our own horse property, a fulfillment of a dream. Although I have come off lots of horses over my life, it wasn't until 6 years ago that I suddenly became really afraid of getting hurt and almost gave up on having a relationship with horses. The gift of this event is that I started seeking a new relationship with horses. I hungered for a way to create an authentic partnership and to understand them, to hear what the horses have been saying to me forever. After a personal disappointment, another gift presented itself as, I found James French and the Trust Technique. I bought the messages of Trust and wept through every video, knowing that I had found someone who could help me listen and speak with my horses in the way that I had always longed for. The powerful Messages of Trust only whet my appetite and I purchased the Trust Technique Course and began to practice the Trust Technique with my dog and my two horses. It has changed everything with my animals. This practice has changed me from the inside out. I am a better human for me, other humans and for animals. On the journey, I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life learning and practicing the art of relationship using the Trust Technique in my Coaching Practice with Horses, Animals and Humans. I applied to become a Trust Technique Practitioner and I am loving the learning process. The Trust Technique is truly helping meet to know how to create an atmosphere where Trust and Confidence reigns. I am forever grateful.

I've completed the video course for the third time. The information is invaluable and I learn something every time I re-watch a video. As a perennial student, wanting to know everything about everything, I realise the more I know, the more I don't know. I'm very grateful for all the hard work and dedication, not only from James and Shelley, but also from the carers of these beautiful animals large and small.

Dear James and Shelley,
The way you are helping animals and their owners is on such a deep, deep level. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. This matter is not easy although you make it look and sound very simple. Learning to hold space for an animal/individual, learning to go at their pace, learning to stay in a state of non reaction and peace ..... Such beauty... THANK YOU

The video course is really great. While watching I cried and laughed and learned. Learned a way to build a peaceful and understanding relationship with my animals. They now feel very trusted with me and they now also calmly tell me if they agree or disagree with something. That makes me feel great, but maybe even more so for them. I did not hesitate for a moment to move on to become a Trust Technique Practitioner.

What a journey!
I started the TT VideoCourse to help my dog who had a lot of issues and It worked more than I expected. She is now more relaxed, connected and learned a lot: to walk in the city without barking at bikes, cars and buses, to sleep at night without needing to be in charge and control of all the neighbourhood, Gosh it’s so good to sleep all night without any barking! And son on… But the best is our relationship which is deeper, trustfully and cooperative. We’re still learning and progressing together.
And for me, it is a new way to be deeply connected to nature and all the living beings and opened to new perspectives. Thank you so much!

What an extraordinary program! The video course demonstrates the Trust Technique in action with such a variety of animals in different situations. You can see for yourself that it works and how it works. I am a pet sitter and I have used the TT with the animals in my care. I have seen both quick results and how over time animals associate peace of mind with me. The depth of relationship you can build with an animal with the TT is limitless. I have always had great respect and love for animals. The TT has deepened both for me.

I have been using the trust technique with the four cats and twelve goats of my landlady. The cats have become very trusting and I have become close friends with one of them, the mother of the other three. In the beginning, she was very jumpy and would attack me if I touched her tail or other sensitive areas of her body. This behaviour has completely disappeared and she is very trusting by now, lying on my chest with her face next to my face, purring like a small engine and eating out of my plate, if she gets a chance. With the goats, I used the trust technique on several occasions, for instance when the young billy goat got castrated and was in great pain for over a week I used reiki and got present with him. I used it with the female goats during their pregnancies/deliveries and with the 7 baby goats to put them all to sleep. It was all very touching, as they would climb all over me and fall asleep on my lap as small children would. The trust I could build with all of them really helps also in everyday situations, when an animal gets stuck somewhere and I need to help to free them, they know that I'm here to help and won't hurt them. All of the goats are very tender and love being groomed or cuddled and they show exactly where they want to be petted and scratched. Unfortunately, my landlady brought the five male baby goats to the butcher before they were coming of age. This was rather heartbreaking for me and I told her that I don't want to be part of that in any way.

I have loved learning through watching the Trust Technique video course. I have practiced quite a lot on my own horses and found it to be not just beneficial for my horses but for me. I have 3 rescue horses, each with their own issues. Charlie was starved and didn’t enjoy being with people, he will do anything for you now and my 16yo daughter has backed him using only a rope halter and lead. He will make an excellent Therapy horse to go on to help adults and children with their issues.

Spud came to me as a project pony after he suffered a traumatic experience. He was a very angry pony, you could not touch him without him wanting to bite you. I used the TT and after a week he finally laid down and went into the deep sleep and released all his tension. All without touching! This was so very rewarding. The next day he was cured of biting and is working towards being ready to teach kids again.

My other horse Roxy was left to a guy in a will, he didn’t really want her but obviously felt obligated to look after her. He kept her with his sheep and fed her lots of oats and Lucerne hay in order to move her between grassy paddocks.
She is only 6 and looked more like a quarter horse than a stock horse because of her excess weight.
Her temperament has softened by using the TT and is now much more willing to co-operate without the use of food and is now a beautiful horse to be around.

Thank you for giving me the tools to be so in control of my feelings and to help my horses control theirs too and let go of past traumatic experiences and be happy again 🙂

I'm still learning, but I was already able to use the Trust Technique with my 2.5 yr dog, a green horse I'm working with, and neighbours' puppies (we teamed up with my dog working on them, she may be learning the TT faster than I can!))) It was truly an eye-opener. Some elements of this can be found in the teachings and techniques of the best dog and horse trainers - perhaps arrived at intuitively; but James was able to actually make a comprehensive system, explain why and how it works, and create highly effective practical guidance. This makes this technique so effective and universal. It also allows one to sort through methods and techniques one has been taught before learning this or may encounter later - and remove counterproductive elements that often inhibit growth and progress. This course is truly amazing and I would recommend it to everyone who is looking to progress beyond fixed prescriptive training methods, build trust and communication with their animal, build self-awareness and work on advanced forms of cooperative interaction. I would like to mention that many elements of TT also work well with small children who are not yet relying on verbal communication. I've also noticed that I'm now changing my communication with adults as well, recognizing a very important component of non-verbal communication between humans.

The TT -Video Course, relating years of experience, is a wonderful tool to make the world a softer place, for both animals and humans. Thanks to James and Shelley for having created this fantastic pedagogic path online! Regular updates are really ‘the icing on the cake’!
When it is gentle, soft or sweet, it is TT! That is what I do appreciate so much!
Keep up the good work, kind regards.

I have easily spent 4 times the cost of the Trust Technique video course on professional trainers, group obedience classes, animal communicators, and every kind of training collar, harness, etc. to help my 90 pound American Bulldog overcome his sensitivity and reactivity. Not to mention thousands of dollars on vet bills for allergies and digestive issues aggravated (if not caused) by stress, some originating at birth. While all of those things "worked" to some extent (i.e., produced a more compliant dog), even the positive aspects were not life-changing. I turned to the Trust Technique somewhat as a "last resort" after my dog bit a jogger--something I never thought he would do, and which he did whilst walking just behind me at a perfect heel, on a loose lead, without a sound of warning. What a helpless feeling, to know your animal is suffering and feel you've tried everything to help, and they're actually getting worse! I just wanted him to be able to talk to me: to tell me what's working and not working, what hurts, what's scary, what's manageable and what's simply "too much." The Trust Technique gave me that. It revealed to me in a systematic way the natural ways of being with animals I take for granted, and stripped away all the "conventional wisdom" of my professional life with dogs. It showed me how to unlock my own creativity in service of my animal. It brought back the joy of being in the world with my dog, almost especially when things go "wrong". It's the best feeling in the world to help an animal learn something without fear, to witness that joy and gratitude when they master themselves. For both of us, it transformed "heel" into "heal." I was sceptical that anything so simple, that anyone can do, could work where all these other techniques had failed. But it's the ONLY thing that worked. It's fair to say there isn't any relationship--to a person, animal, or area of life--where applying the Trust Technique hasn't revealed a new path forward for me.

I have known since quite a long time that I wanted to help dogs and their owners heal in a compassionate and holistic way but was unable to find any approach aligned with my compassionate view of the world and its living beings. Then, suddenly, James French appeared in a You Tube ad - which ads I usually skip at all times. And then, another synchronized event happened when my aunt who was a spiritual therapist introduced me to her friend who teaches Reiki for animals, which training I am doing this weekend. I can’t wait to complete the practitioner training with your team and have a positive impact in the world by helping animals and their owners, through a combined approach of reiki and trust practice. Thank you James French for simply being such a compassionate being and for bringing this amazing training and helping me find my life purpose. Simply thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will be forever grateful! And keep doing these ads 🙂

Hi James, Shelley,

I'm so glad of the timing where your promotional video came on youtube while I was looking for something else. It took me about 5 minutes to apply to the programme. I was developing my activity to coach people with the gentle help of horses and their emotional language. I had also applied to another training in animal communication, from a different provider a few months before and started to find my own relational approach with horses by learning ethology, to improve my way to introduce people to them during my coaching sessions. Still... something was missing to create an intuitive bond between people and animals. I couldn't find the way I wanted, to make people find their own and authentic language to interact with them... and here you come! with a beautiful, simple way to create a space of learning and communication! so I began to practice with my little Gypsie cat.. who has emotionally gone through a lot with me this 2020 year, very sensitive... I have an exceptional emotional bond with her.. way too needy for her to relax away from me even in the room next door... I didn't manage at first to introduce to her the TT because I didn't realise that few seconds were already too much for her. She's got so much contained in her little body!! I found the right pace for her and she released more and more, session after session. Now we are working with the invisible lead so she can stay peaceful if I go suddenly into another room or if I go in my car. She's so smart and I regard her in a really different way.
I love the new relationship we are creating thanks to you. She's even doing the job by herself now... if I settle somewhere in the house she comes next to me and goes instantly sleepy. With light support from me, she goes into a deep healing state when she needs to.
I could also tell you amazing things about horses. Still, because I didn't found at first the right pace. I wanted to be present with a mare who had her foot done and kept taking her foot back from the person working on her. I stayed so present that she pushed us all away so she could lie down. She was taking it back because my present moment was making her heavy and she couldn't stay balanced! Imagine the eyes of the owner at that time, and the person working on her...
Well.. I've learned to listen to the pace of the animal with mindful regard now and the results are amazing. Thank you dearly for what you do for these animals and most of all for us to make us become better listeners to get the chance to be taught by them. They are full of resources we can't even imagine, such inspiring beings. I will straight away apply to the practitioner program so I can help to spread this mindset in France with anyone who would want to collaborate (Chloe is amazing by the way.. Trust Technique makes us meet beautiful human souls at the same time ^^).
Again I'm sincerely grateful to you James, Shelley and everyone I don't know contributing to this.
Have an amazing continuation
Diane

I have been on a number of courses to help me with my two horses, but none has addressed our issues like the Trust Technique. It has fundamentally changed the way I see them, the way we communicate, and I would say my entire life, giving me more peace, more joy in the journey, and a more positive outlook. And did I say more peace?! My brain is generally flooded with endorphins! It’s a beautiful gift to bring to the world, and I am truly thankful to have discovered this work. I cannot praise it highly enough. I believe it is integral to our evolution as human beings. Thanks James and Shelley!

I love this course and will be going through it again. I have 3 rescue dogs, 1 is nervous timid, another nervous agressive and the 3rd is an older dog that sometimes gets anxious due to doggy dementia. All 3 have benefitted from the Trust Technique and I can see a difference in them which I'm continuing to build on. I've also used it to deepen my relationship with my horse and he loves it. Really looking forward to taking this further. Thank you so much James and Shelley ????

I found the TT and this course at a time when I was struggling with the ways in which fearful animals are so often forced to endure those situations that they are afraid of. When I saw the first examples of the TT in use, I immediately knew: This is it - this is this different way of working with fearful and traumatised animals that I had been looking for. This course has been such an eye-opener that I have decided to continue and become a practitioner. With deep gratitude for the work that you, James and Shelley, are doing.

I found the course really useful. The dogs I live with don’t actually belong to me but my daughter and her partner are delighted with the progress Lola has made in regard to her noise and motion anxiety. The other dog River has happily joined in and I am delighted to have learned so much.
Thank you so much I will restart the course to consolidate my learning as I have become calmer too.

I can't tell you how grateful I am that the Trust Technique exists and that I have found it!
It has changed my life. Once again, so much better. It has opened my eyes once again to many things. For me it is no longer a technique. For me it is a way of life. And I live it with my animals.
A month before I discovered TT, a new horse came into my life. He was traumatised. He no longer trusted humans. And with the TT he has regained his trust and now likes his people again. And he can now enjoy a nice, relaxed life. He has noticed that we listen to him and work at his pace. And many of his traumas have already been dealt with.

I can only recommend it to every animal person. Oh no! To every human being! The Trust Technique is simply great! And instructive!

Thank you James and Shelley! For everything you do for the animals and us humans!

Amazing course, Thank you James and Shelley

Thank you for this life-changing course which is well worth going back to again and again because you'll always find new pieces of infomation that you missed the first time. It's just too big to "get" by going through it only once 😉

I completed the course a while ago but love going back there for continued learning because it's such a treasure of knowledge and wisdom which is almost impossible to "get" by only watching it once. Thank you for your dedication and love to all creatures great and small, thank you for this life-changing gift to the world.

I have loved every minute of this course, in fact i've been totally obsessed with watching it.... I would love to see a continuation of different animals you work with as it's always lovely to meet a new one and see how you're helping them. My favourite session has to be Ares the lion... i found that just so beautiful, having seen the video of him arriving and looking so unwell, to the session where you had him playing.... just so touching and special. One of my other favourites had to be Charlie and his separation anxiety... that really seemed so powerful. I don't really know they all seem pretty amazing come to think of it! I couldn't recommend this course highly enough it's an amazing discovery... a MASSIVE THANK YOU!

I still love watching every single video. Each time new details unfold. Each time the depth of animal wisdom gets clearer. Thank you James and Shelley for this new (old) world. And yes, life has changed.

My life has changed because I now have the relationship with my animals that I have always wanted. At last I can communicate to them what I want from them and can listen to them and hear them and their fears and their concerns and their "NOs". I understand them now and can show them about the world -that is a human-dominated world through which they must find their way- in a language that they understand. It is still work in progress but work I love doing and they do, too.
P.S.: As a teacher I know when teaching is good or bad. The form of teaching the world about communicating with animals and helping them, created by James French and his team, is outstandingly good. Period.

I cannot put into words the profound benefits on all levels this course has and continues to give me. I am so grateful to have found James, Shelley, Olga and Josh and the Trust Technique. It is a life changing practice to help people and animals and to help heal the planet. It supports reconnection ecology in a beautiful, kind and authentic way. It offers me a way to inform my painting practice through deeper connection experiences with animals and offers me a wonderful new platform for others to step in to. The online course are brilliantly put together and user friendly. The support and backup is unexpectedly personal and efficient. I cannot say enough in support of this practice. At another level the people who engage in the Trust Technique are part of a tribe that I want to belong to. James and Shelley your vision is profoundly important today. Thank you all from my heart.

This course is amazing. I have a dog reactive dog with whom I have tried everything over the last 3 years including behaviourists, counter conditioning, desensitization, other programs, the list goes on and on.
I found and enrolled in the TT Video Program in late February and our relationship has changed ( I have changed) profoundly. We are so healed as a team that I am now enrolled in the Practitioner Program . In only 3 months we have gone from not being able to walk in our neighbourhood and dog fights, to going anywhere we want together without concern. She even received her Canine Good Citizen Title through the American Kennel Club this week! Our relationship is what I been dreaming of and the Trust Technique was the answer we were searching for for our entire family. Thank you so much!!

It did change my life with my horses, cats, ducks and chicken ! I'm eager to learn more !

This video course is the best thing happened to me the last years and is definitely in the top list of the best things ever happened to me. When I first saw the videos with horses “sleeping” next to a human I thought to myself that I can never achieve that. Then I learned this really easy and beautiful technique and 2 days ago I had my first lay down session with 2 two years old “boys” I am taking care of. It was such an amazing session and the whole herd went so peaceful... unbelievable. This technique not just helps the animals but it helps the humans as well. I could route back my anxiety with the horses to my childhood and get peaceful with it. And I could get peaceful with many other issues going on in my life currently and find new ways to look at them and solve them. I highly recommend this video course to everyone, even without animals.

I have just gone through the new videos and my plan is to restart the entire video course! It is so essential to go back and back and back.... 😉

I am so happy to be able to learn this valuable work between humans and animals.
It's the key to people, animals, relationships of both on a deep level.
Thank you both James and Shelley

I am so glad and grateful that I came across James and Shelly's Trust Technique.
This is the key to working on a deeper level with people and their animals.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me experience this.

I am feeling so privileged to have completed the Trust Technique video course. I have seen so many beautiful transformation and exchanges of love and trust between animals and people who really care. It is a gift which deserves the "pass it forward" journey! Imagine the world without cruelty amongst animals from humans, just peace and trust?

this is one of the most important teachings I have ever encountered. Thank you for following your gift and sharing it with everyone, as we all have access to what you are teaching. It is called being in the world as a true human. It is also the only way we can change anything on this earth, for ourselves and the animals around us

Dear James,
I am "only" 28% complete, and in following the suggested order, am just now watching "Rescue Dogs - Cadence".
Not sure I can quite define how much the Trust Technique has already affected me and my dogs.
The original intention of purchasing the TT was to apply this with my 5-year-old mare that will be returning to me in June... although practicing with my dogs has revealed an astounding result.
There are times while watching your videos, and listening to your words, I am so deeply moved that I stop and sit with this deep heartfelt emotion.
The TT can be so easy to apply that I felt doubt at first while doing it until my dogs showed me it was indeed working.
Thank you so much, James. The TT has brought me a sense of peace and indubitably this will have the same effect on my beautiful mare Journi when she returns soon.
You are such a gift to share your wisdom with us! If anyone is doubting the commitment, I was hesitant at first but now am undoubtedly sure of this gift that Journi, my dogs, and myself will share for a lifetime! The TT for many reasons has touched my heart deeply. Thank you as well for all the animals you have assisted in finding peace...

This video course is a real treasure; to me it's a lesson on patience, dedication, trust and love.
It has been such a relief for me to see that people and animals can actually have this amazing connection, and that there are people who help animals in the most beautiful ways.
Having embarked on that journey of practicing being present, I find watching the videos incredibly motivating, since all the animals letting go of old stuff are great company 🙂
I am also grateful for the gentle, positive way in which James presents the cases of the animals who died.
Thank you for the course, it has really opened up a whole new world for me.

Dear James and Shelley,
Thank you very much for enabling those of us who live far away to take this extraordinary online course. I've learned much, not only about regarding, respecting, and consciously creating peace and building trust with the animals I am responsible for, but also myself, and other humans too. This course has enriched my life, my soul, and my heart immeasurably. I had a feeling when I enrolled for this course that it would be for me, a learning process far beyond the physical and mental and important to partake in - it is also a spiritual one. I wished I'd had this knowledge and understanding from day one of my life on planet earth, but as my lovely husband reflected back to me when I shared that thought with him - "the teacher appears when the student is ready". To learn this language between being and being, no matter our physical form is fantastic and is making the world a better place for all. Thank you from the deepest parts of my heart and soul - this has been an utterly wonderful experience.

I have found the video course to be invaluable. I stumbled across the Trust Technique at a time in my life where I had worked very much on my own mindfulness and this seemed to be the final piece of a puzzle that very much brought all my past experiences with both my animals and myself together. I am a veterinary nurse and have also worked as a reward based trainer in the past. I have owned dogs and cats and have always been interested in behaviour and training. Having come up against some 'restrictions' and concerned how my animals seemed to be becoming more 'wired' using reward based training I looked elsewhere for alternative theories and methods. Coming to my own conclusions that over stimulation (especially with youngsters) was causing many of the behavioural problems seen in dogs it was a real eye opener to see how using the present moment could be used to further help to calm and ultimately resolve behavioural problems. I have seen dramatic results using the trust technique not only in my own animals but also in dogs that I have dealt with in the shelter where I currently work.
I really do hope this way of working becomes more mainstream. It is an invaluable tool to have. Thank you so much.

What a wonderful tool to connect and be with animals. I`ve already had so many touching moments with the horses in the shelter I am working as a volunteer. They love being in the Present Moment and I love sharing this moment with them. It makes me immensely happy. Thank you!

This course is an inspiration for a kinder, gentler way of working with animals.
It's OK to have patience and to work according to the animal's timing. It seems to me that this is also a good way to work with kids--or with any traumatized person or pet.
Now to have patience with myself as I practice the present moment.

Dear James and Shelley:
Many years have elapsed since, in a single and firm act of volition, I decided to drastically quit smoking, drinking alcohol and eating the product of the slaying of innocent animals… I have to accept the fact that it was not an easy turn, but that single decision strengthened my will power as I wouldn’t even dream possible. The fact is that since then, April, 1966, I have not eaten any part of murdered animals, I have not had a single shot of Scotch, nor have I smoked a single cigarette. Through that simple act I firmly took my first step on the narrow Path that takes us to the Eternal Present. In my trajectory I found Meditation, Yoga, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, Great Universal Brotherhood, Occultism, Dianetics, etc… trips to India, Gurus, Ashrams, Sadhanas, and on, and on. Many years later I came to the conclusion that all those Schools, Teachings and Gurus have a common factor: The search of that Light mentioned in each one of them. The ultimate goal is always the same, even if they give different definitions and directions. Most of them offer the “one and only way” to reach the Eternal Home while very few accepts that “all roads lead to Rome”. Each offers a direct ticket to the end point, as long as you submit to their norms, sometimes unreachable and many say the destination is only attained after death, because no one is accepted in Paradise while wearing the fleshly costume… (their idea of hell and heaven drastically rejects the fact that we carry both of them as a portable item and either one is readily attainable depending of our state of consciousness).
In my 82 years on this Planet Earth I never heard such a simple way to explain, and prove, their simple steps to reach “the present moment”, “the HERE AND NOW”, the Divine State of Consciousness that opens the door to the other dimensions.
I have only finished Section 2 of the Trust Technique Video Course, and I have been able to observe not only the perfect response of so many types of animal to your silent command, but I have also seen the easy it is for you to teach other people, real profanes of the subject, the technique you use to enter the silent state which is the way all animals, and maybe plants, communicate with each other.
All those theories that state that “All is One” are clearly seen throughout your videos… but the best part of it all is that now it is so easy to be Here and Now… and this is not only I who can practice the Trust Technique but its doors are open to anyone who is really interested and ready to works for it .
To put it in few words, this Technique is one of the greatest discoveries of our times, because this wonderful practice has been delivered to the world so the people of good feelings can help not only those beings so called irrational animals, but also the practitioner is helped way beyond his own comprehension.
What do I think of it?
Three qualifying adjectives
1.- Enlightening
2.- Awakening
3.- Extraordinary
Thank you for sharing the blessings you have received!

Federico Landaeta

Brilliant course. It has changed my life for the better.

Oh my goodness, this is the best website ever! James is so endlessly patient with his presentation of information. He reminds me of Mister Rogers. High praise! The information is presented so simply. I love watching all the animals and how they each interact with this technique. It is so beautiful and informative. I love the real tough animals. It is so amazing to watch them go all the way through the process, and that the animals are participating. Thank you so very much for all that your organization does for these animals and the non-profits. Thank you also for making this available. Forget the News, the world is truly becoming miraculous!

The first online course confirmed my motivation for my new choice of life helping animals.
I was often moved by the videos : Ares the Lion, Bella, the bears and the last one with the horse in Mane Chance sanctuary (beautiful !).
The session that seemed very long to me, compared to others, was the one with the puddle and the vaccum cleaner !!
I didn't understand all the english, especially at Hope Pastures because of the accent and all the noise behind.
I have received my camera GoPro and can't wait to start the course in June, hopping my english will be good enough !

Adrianne (from France)

The system used to deliver this course is excellent because it covers practically all the ideas and concepts needed to convey the key points of the course. I am sure that as we advance in the study I shall be able to expand my opinion quite a bit… meanwhile I have to say: “So far, so good”. Ah! I have to say it, I am delighted to be part of the “Translation Group” and I am sure that many extraordinary experiences await for me in the near future.
Incessant blessings

Federico

This is what I have been waiting and looking for. Not only really helping animals but also feel the heart open and love growing in myself. I‘m adicted. Thank you so much.

“Do animals understand what we are saying? Yes, but you have to make sense”
Vicky Hearne "Adam’s Task"

I am deeply moved by discovering the Trust Technique. I am a Jungian psychotherapist and over the years each learning path I have taken has been a rediscovery that presence and listening are the foundation of what I can offer. I have come to see more fully that human disruption from what we have called nature (as if it is something other than human) and human nature are of course not separate. Eco-therapy has taken me some of the way, what I am learning from the Trust Technique now, joyfully, falls into place.

Trust Technique addresses relations of humans and the animals they are responsible for; it also reaches into human/nature relations in the wild. Essentially it is a well taught practice of meditating alongside an animal and discovering that when the human enters a meditation and is in a state of utter presence and listening, the animal relaxes and can enter a peaceful state that is ,also, healing. When this is repeated, sometimes in small doses if the animal is very sensitive and/or traumatised, the animal comes to recognise it is this human that is enabling the peace, and connection and trust become possible.

However, the method completely gets that the relationship is actually an inter-actional state that the animal may have initiated by catching, ("flirting with", to use Arnold Mindell's formation in Quantum Mind) the human. And, that there may be a wound in common. The growth of the relationship, or the process of healing, whichever is the intention, may well depend on the human healing her/his traumas. This is explicitly taught and it’s beautifully shown that the Trust Technique offers healing to both human and animal.

In the first place it is clear (delightfully) that it is humans that needs training!

The teaching of the method, initially online, clearly draws on a wealth of psychotherapeutic knowledge and good practice, on spiritual traditions and indigenous knowledge. And, it has synthesised this with clarity and apparent simplicity, but the kind of simplicity that comes from deep understanding. Following the videos makes me laugh with pleasure as I see them explain in accessible language earnest conceptions of psychoanalysis and all its derivatives. It seems to me the teaching comprises an excellent psychotherapy training, made the more possible by beginning with human/nature relations.

The videos are a masterclass in how to present online.

James Barrett

I am so impressed with the Trust Technique. Simple yet profound, it has made a world of difference for our cats and our household. Thank you for making this technique available to others. The video course is rich in content and insight, well-organized and structured, taking the student more deeply into understanding and application of the work. Truly a gift for those who wish to develop a deeper relationship with and understanding of animals. Thank you so much.

The Trust Technique is what I have been looking for, for so long - it is the missing link! For ourselves and our relationship with our animals, but also our relationship with each other and the world in general.
I have come to really see the intelligence of my animals, and to learn to trust their intelligence and let go of my preconceptions about their behaviour. A whole new world has opened up where we learn and work together, where they show me stuff and communicate with me. I am full of appreciation for them, and for their willingness to meet me - they have waited patiently for years.
It affirms what I knew as a child; that animals are not ‘just animals’; that we can connect with them and it is AWESOME. I feel so thankful to have been brought to this work. It has benefitted me in so many ways, not just in my relationships with animals but in my whole life. It’s a game changer. Thankyou James and Shelley!

Very interesting view of connecting this one. I am glad I met you, really!!

Shanti Shanti Shanti
Love your Technique
Love your course
Love your team and its integrity
Big thank you
Inge

Thank you guys for your effort to make our world better place to live and helping animals. Your kindness with animals is breathtaking and your videos very eyes opening for all humanity to understand that life is love itself. I cannot find nice words enough describing your loving videos and work and the way how you are presenting it. This is not job, it is be what you guys love to be. Very fulfilling. Thank you so much.

Both my horses and myself are very happy to be learning this technique to repair our lost trust and confidence. The difference (when I get it right!) Is amazing. Can't wait for more information as I have a very strange pony who is switched off to everything. I am slow at doing the course as i am busy at the moment with my cows. Thankyou for sharing this with us.

I am currently studying Lesson 14 and Mr. French mentions how the Trust-Technique reaches people!! I'm excited to get to that part of the training.

Many Thanks and Blessings

❤️❤️ i feel myself much more strong beimg im the moment just now!! Such a nice teaching!!❤️❤️????????????????

Brilliant course. Has helped me to such a large degree with many things but the highlights have been
1) with treating a nasty wound in an unhandled filly. Helping her be peaceful so she would her stay lying while I treated and bandaged her wound when she had never been touched before. Such a treasured moment.
2) helping a foal (being treated for osteomyelitis) be peaceful through his rather lengthy treatment process. Many beautiful moments with His Mum and him. He cast himself one night and while I was trying to pull him clear, he indicated that he wanted to be rolled so I rolled him, he stayed peaceful throughout the process.

This technique works so well with our newly gelded four year old pony stallion!!! Thank you!!!

Hello...I am so enjoying this course...I can't seem to find enough time to do it...I spend every spare moment I have continuing....I completely agree with the principles and the method of kindness and trust VS. fear and dominance....so I asked Creator to help me do this in a kind way.....and your advertisement appeared as I was watching some horse training youtube....thank you for all you do for the animals. I look forward to going onto the next course to be a Practioner.....Blessings to both of you and your team.

I finished all the trust technique video course and enjoyed so much this time shared with Shelley and James and all those animals which made me crying for Joy but also for sadness ,that for sure I'll do it all again from the beginning ! I wished it never finishes ! I am voluntary everyday in a rescue center for dogs and I could help already so many from them ! As I am not professional for some case I'll have to ask advice to James or Shelley ! It is just magic and good for the animals and myself !If you hesitate ,go on you 'll never regret it !Thank you Shelley and James for all what you do ,you give us hope in this world !❤️❤️
PS. excuse my english , I am french .

Absolutely amazing course!! Life changing honestly. Am blessed I found this.

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 .

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
Gloria

I have only just begun this course but finding it wonderful. The speed is just right, the information is clear and it really makes me think. Looking forward to continuing.

The Halter video with the herd of horses was quite beautiful how it evolved.????????

Your clear points on how to approach the course were very much appreciated. I originally decided to do the course as I'll be volunteering at a rescue centre, but after your direction to only use this for our own animals, I will now wait till a rescue animal joins my household. So thank you once again for saving the creation of a problem for whoever adopts from the rescue centre.
Kind regards, Lyn

The Trust Technique is life-changing. It has changed my horse's and my life. Santi was rehomed with me from a charity 5 years ago. We have come a long way in those 5 years but much further in the 6 weeks since I found the Trust Technique. I didn't think I was being effective in the beginning until I tacked him up and, for the first time in 5 years and there was no laying back of ears or threatening to bite, there was no reaction whatsoever. I've spent a lot of time standing next to busy main roads with Santi on a lunge line trying to desensitise him to Lorrys, tractors and motorbikes with some but limited success. I now keep present on rides and although we have only met one tractor in a situation that would normally cause him to panic and me to try and stay calm, he just pricked his ears and walked calmly past. Picking his feet up has always been a challenge so I employed the strategy used with Henry and his girlfriend in the videos. Back feet are now picked up without asking, fronts are taking more patience and getting present though. Santi has never appeared to like being touched or stroked, he threatens to bite and can often appear unfriendly and is certainly never affectionate. However, I spent 15 minutes yesterday, standing 2' away from his shoulder in the field just getting present and observing his reaction as he munched on a large bale of hay. Twice, he put his nose gently on my arm for a few moments and then he took a small sideways step nearer to me, then he did another and again a couple of minutes later another until his shoulder was just touching my arm. Amazing.

The Trust Technique has helped me with both my aging dog, and young spirited, spooky horse. Sadie (the dog) has been very anxious and needy recently as her age is slowing her down. I have been using The Trust Technique with her and she settles down and closes her tired eyes . It has helped me with my horse who is quite high strung. I use it before I tack her up, and when riding when she gets anxious too!. I will for sure be signing up for a retreat when they are available. Many thanks from Holly, Sadie and Beth.

Dear James and Shelley
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.
Having only completed Section 1, I have been through a roller coaster of emotions and have cried on numerous occasions.
The effect a State of Peace shows is truely amazing and I only wish all of humanity had this sense built in.
Well done to all those 'carers' who worked with you in sharing the love.
Melanie

Each section teaches something new and everything builds from the first lesson. I especially loved section nine.

Dear Shelley,
Dear James,

Very well done online course!

I`ve just watched the final video session on Delorean the wild mustang. If I`d been touched during all the other video sessions with the dogs, cats, bears, lions and other horses, this one really touched me the most.

I was able to experience the Trust Technique myself with the horses I look after in the refuge, and it is amazing how quickly the animal allows real closeness - I mean, it`s not only being physically close, but being connected on a soul level. I felt always very close to animals, especially to cats. The Trust Technique gives me now such a beautiful and gentle “tool” to establish this connection. Many thanks indeed for sharing this with me and the world.

With gratitude, Ursula

I’m both enjoying and fascinated by the Trust Technique. I decided to flow right through the course without taking notes. Then to start again having had that overview, and include note taking. Having had a lifetime with animals, this seems to come somewhat after the event since I no longer have animals! But I still visit my family with their dogs and cats and occasionally walk the dog and even now, in this early stage I notice the difference; not forgetting a beautiful five minutes with a Siamese cat who paused to sit with me yesterday. The course rings bells; as a child (with hearing and speech disorder) I befriended every dog in the road, which seemed so entirely natural. So the method seems familiar although I never was consciously aware of the process and wonderful now to have it articulated and for so many owners and their animals to benefit from it/.

The Trust Technique is a life-changing experience. After watching Messages of Trust, I enrolled in the Trust Technique Video Course and began working with my very sensitive German Shepherd, Westley. I was expecting it to take some time to learn, and it was amazing to see Westley react so quickly and powerfully on the first day working with him to reduce his thinking and be peaceful. That was a momentous day, with much healing. With each day, he is calmer, more peaceful, more confident, more trusting, more relaxed, and happier. I've completely changed my awareness of my own anxiety level, and now know how to easily reset my peace of mind throughout the day. My main reason for enrolling in the course was to address Westley's reactivity and fear aggression at the vet. With the COVID situation, it's been even more challenging, since people aren't allowed to go into the vet clinic with their animals. With the four P's in mind; Purpose, Peace, Patience and Persistence, I'm sure that Westley can learn to be peaceful when he goes to the vet. Westley is a good teacher, and I think after doing this work with him, I want to become a practitioner and help other animals (and their people) with the Trust technique.

I have not been active on your website for a number of months now, but the last lesson that I took was so profound... Taking time to absorb the information and revelations regarding how my personal history and responses to stressful situations were really making it difficult to make any progress in dealing with current situations with my two rescue cats. The time away was well worth it. This one lesson has been life changing. Many thanks!

Was a little sceptical at first, but having tried some of the techniques on my pets, find that I am slowly getting tuned to the tt.
I want to do more in the future and possibly help others, but a long way off.
My testimonial is to all that read this is simple. It works!

I really like doing the trust technique with my horse. It is helping me to stay more calm and peaceful when my horse get tensed. I also can get scared of my horse sometimes, it is still work in progres but I already notice a difference in myself since started with the trust technique. We are finding our strong connection and more subtle communication back and I love that! The video course is explaining everything in clear and easy steps and bringing it into practice was more easy then I thought it would be.

Wauw!!!

Dear Shelley and James, what a wonderful course you have created. To be able to show a very sensitive soul like me and my 15 year old poodle how to find peace in the word is a very beautiful gift. I have no words to thank you so I have made this painting : ]

Danke für Deine Beharrlichkeit, lieber James! Ich war nicht sehr entschlossen, diesen Kurs zu buchen aber habe es schließlich doch getan. Und wahrhaft, er ist jeden Pfennig wert. Die Videos habe ich geradezu verschlungen und gleich ausprobiert, wie es mit meinem Hund, Ragnar, funktioniert. Auf einmal wurde mir klar, dass ich meinen Hund bisher überhaupt nicht verstanden habe. Stattdessen hatte ich nur die, immer ähnlichen, Empfehlungen von all den anderen Hundetrainern im Kopf. Nun ist eine Beziehung zu meinem Hund entstanden, wie ich sie mir nicht hätte vorstellen können. Danke für dieses wertvolle Wissen und diesen Frieden, den mir das gebracht hat. Und quasi nebenbei: Ich selbst bin deutlich friedvoller und zufriedener! Ich hoffe, dass noch viele andere Menschen diesen Kurs buchen! Es trägt zum Weltfrieden bei und zu Eurem Eigenen...

I have been working energetically with 2 leggeds for 33 years.
This course is taking me to a consistently higher and deeper level.
I am taking the course very slowly to really allow myself to absorb what I am feeling
And how to truly absorb and be with it and I with my dog.,
We are progressing slowly and deeply.

I feel totally privileged to have found this way of working with animals. Thank you so much to James French for being such and excellent and patient teacher and all the other people and animals involved that have played their part in explaining, showing and sharing how it all works in so many different environments and circumstances. I have concentrated on using the trust technique with my mare and we have been on an amazing journey together as we have followed this course. She is a highly sensitive horse and the amazing combination of present moment and mindful regard has assisted us to cope with, the death of a close herd member, enforced moves to 3 new places in search of a permanent home and introductions to new herds along the way. I was full of anxiety and concern as to how she would cope with these experiences at first, but now I know, with my support, she will deal with everything calmly and peacefully. The trust technique has prepared me to be open to what she has to teach me. I feel this course has been the best kind of course as it has taught me through head, hand and heart. I have learned things intellectually, then have had to do it, then reflect on how the whole thing has effected me emotionally and spiritually. Thank you so much for this life enhancing experience.

I love it????. It so makes sense. I have already noticed that my dogs are calmer and me too.
We still have a long way to go but now I’m hopeful. I can’t thank you enough.

I just thought I love to share my tow stories with you. My first one was with my cat. I had this problem with a mail cat coming around and I started to feed him, give him a name and place outside in a little garden hut. But at the same time I started to realise that my little girl cat, which I have for not quite a year now, was completely irritated. I know my cat was a baby cat from the street and she used to live with a family for a year after they saved her form the street. And then they had to give her away due to allergy problems with their kid. After watching the video with the cat and then the trust technique for humans I realised that this is exactly my problem. So I did that work instructed by James and guess what. I came to my action plan. I could leave all my bad feelings behind and also my being so nervous. So my cat used to sleep next to me in my bed but since that mail cat came she stopped doing this. And after my tt session for myself the next day I just wanted to go to my sleeping cat and strike her but she didn´t purr. I started the present m. and all of a sudden I started to cry bitterly. All my old deep emotions of my childhood came up and I felt so sorry for that. I could feel how these emotions swapped over to my cat. She left. And then I could release my feelings and all of a sudden I felt so free and light. I was so thankful for the Trust technique for myself. And my princes Lilli came at that night and cuddled her self next to my head purring for a long time. Since that she looks so different at me.
Since that the stranger didn´t come any more. But today he came. And it was such a lovely experience to me. I saw Lilli getting a bit nervous, not as before. I sat next to the window and she come over right next to my. Just as James said, when they realise they can trust you they will come. And that happened. I started with the present moment and it didn´t take long and Lilli went up to her high seat with her bed. I then continued the pm as she was still looking after the other cat outside. I had the chance to see him in the mirror next to me. So I didn´t have to turn away on order to see weather the cat was gone or not. Lilli relaxed more and more and all of a sudden the cat was gone. This was such a lovely feeling and made me so happy that I managed to help not only Lilli but myself too.
So my second story is about my horse. I have my horse since he was 6 months old. I saved him from the butcher. He was put on a rope next to his mother so that he could not reach her for drinking the milk. We are really close friends but there are some things I could not manage. So one is, that he likes to tweak me and constantly asks for goodies. Yesterday I started with the pm and it was really hard to calm him down. BUT I realised I couldn´t not come down myself. I had no idea why. I had time but no patience. And I just was nervous. I thought oh my good do I have a heart problem or what´s wrong with me. I couldn´t manage to calm down. So I did the pm with myself again and as soon as I realised that he got a little of my calming down I let it bee. Then I did a little bit of riding and after that I went with him straight into the open stable and he started to eat his hay. I got nervous again. And first I thought, I need to see a doctor. But then I said to myself, the doctor is not what it needs. There is something with in me that made me nervous. And while I was just there trying to be and regard my horse I realised what was going on. To be honest I could feel the pressure I had when I was a child. The pressure I got from my father. The pressure to do things quicker and perfect and only what he wanted me to do, never what I was up to. When I got that feeling I started to cry again (as it was with my cat). I could let go my old feelings and then give mindful regard to my horse. He then stopped eating started to relax and went down to level 1. And all of a sudden he lied down. I moved next to him peacefully and he started to put his head next to my knee. I wished I had my camera with me. But I just enjoyed this peaceful moment and that we both could let got our old feelings. Thanks James for this wonderful work and that I have the chance to learn more and more about it.

I joined this course for my horse, but last summer he was accidentally shot by a gamekeeper.
Clearly this was a 10 rated issue when I was practising building resiliance in my peace of mind. I was stuck in the fury and distress of what happened. This technique is the only thing I've found in the last 9 months that has started to give me peace of mind and lessen my anger towards his killer. My learning is the practitioner can be healed by this technique not only others.

I have absolutely loved doing this video course and feel that although I did watch most of them twice I want to go back over them again. It brought up a lot of issues in me and my horses a bit of a roller coaster ride and to finish with the horse at red river sent me to bed in tears for tha t wonderful horse and the way you dealt with him . Keep up your wonderful work and i shall endeavour to try and emulate what you do

Great course! I love the way it is broken down into bite sized chunks as it can get a bit overwhelming looking at video after video - makes my brain hurt trying to get around all that is going on! At about halfway through, I am not entirely sure I understand completely all that has been taught so far and feel I would need to go through it all again to get deeper understanding of how the 'magic' works. It is amazing to watch James working with the animals and see such huge changes in their behaviour in such a very short time. I suspect some of that is down to the fact that James is a master magician with years of experience although the people he works with seem to achieve good results too!

I am half way through the course and have thoroughly enjoyed every stage. It’s taken me a while to be at peace with myself using the technique and now am now able to connect with my lovely mare Twiggy. I still haven’t managed to get an understanding of what her, or my, problem is with coming to me on her own, but I did feel a beginning with the ‘invisible lead’.
So much more to learn and look forward to the quiet time when I sit down and continue learning!
Many thanks James and Shelly

I am thoroughly enjoying this course. My horses do too and I am hoping to help a pony who needs a new home. So far it is helping a lot as she does not want to anything if you have asked her but slowly she is looking to me. I need to do this to find her a nice home. She is a lovely person inside her armour. Thankyou for sharing this technique with me.

I find this work amazing and completely wonderful. I have 3 dogs and 2 horses all of whom have been affected by my own high level of thinking and reacting. I have an issue with irritation and impatience alongside other periods of kindness and compassion. I tend to swing from one to the other without regard to my own affect towards them, or myself. But now I"m looking at the whole picture so differently......one moment of irritation and it all goes to hell. I feel acutely awful and they don't respond.

Now I know how to bring their minds down to relieve them and myself. What's fun is to find that I just want to spend my time being peaceful with all of them. It's so easy and they all are responding so perfectly.... and oddly, I don't seem to want to do anything else! I suppose because I see so clearly that they mirror my thinking in every way.
I love the videos. They are so helpful even if repetitive because of course, it's all the same deal and I love every single one.

Thanks so much. Glad I found you.

I am so happy to have connected with James and Shelly amazing training,and so appreciate them sharing with so many.Love the great work they are doing all over our dear Mother Earth. My main companion Wyatt my Australian Shepherd is very responsive to what I am practicing with him. I look forward to practicing with my other dogs,horse,gaited mule,two large donkey,my goats, and ducks,and chickens. My goal is to become a Practicioner, and help shelter,and rescue animals. Also would love to help animals and people connect.
Gratefully, Nan❤️❤️❤️

I just completed the video course. What a profound journey this has been. Thank you James and Shelley and all of your team. I feel so grateful that this course was ‘dropped at my doorstep’. I now will just let it sink in for a moment and then....I will start again, right from the beginning.
Thank you thank you thank you....a thousand times and more.

The moment it will be allowed I would love to attend a Dream Day. Dreaming of that already.

To date I have been very impressed with the whole concept of the course. Very clear and precise instructions to follow. The content has been thought through and appropriate for one wishing to learn more about animals and support them.

Very important information that we shall only work with our own anaimals.

Absolutely phenomenal. I love every part of this course and so do my 5 horses, my dog and my cat.
I think the important thing is that the fundamentals are explained in such a way that you can't go wrong, as long as you believe in yourself as well as your animals. I have tried to learn with others that are using energy to communicate with animals, but nobody has been able to explain the principles as well as James French.

This course translates simply and beautifully into every day practice.
Thank you so much for putting all this together and also the amazing work you do with various organisations.

After a year and a half of working my way through this course I finished it this evening. I didn't want to watch the last video as I have loved spending some of my evenings with James and his incredible way with animals. I felt quite tearful during the final story with Delorean. I have been trying to use the Trust Technique with my very anxious, high thinking, Miniature Schnauzer. I am having some success but it is a slow process. James would probably sort him out in no time at all. I don't have words to describe the awe and respect I have for James and Shelly and this technique they have developed. The course gradually increases ones knowledge and understanding, and the many real examples of it being used on different animals leads to a deeper and deeper understanding of how to use the technique. I do hope this isn't the end and that more examples will be added to the course to further increase our knowledge as James refines his process. And my greatest hope is that I will be able to meet James and Shelly one day. Thank you for an amazing experience and for all the wonderful work you do with and for animals.

Simplicity is truth and divinity. I enjoyed every second.
You sow wonderful seeds which you cultivate with a lot of love, clear intention .....and that spread out wonderfully.

Thank you! I am seeing fear dissolve and I am seeing neuropathways realign.

Lovely messages delivered in an authentic, gentle way. James has so much knowledge and wisdom to share. I an signing up for all of the courses!

Honest, sincere, straight, truly, transparent, gently, caring just amazing, thank youuuu....!!!

Very interesting course and a beautiful way to relate to animals!

Hello, thank you for all the years you have applied to being intentional. To put your learning into a format the rest of us can understand. I am blessed to have learnt from someone who has taught me a lot about energy around the horses we train. This trust technique has taken it a level further. Not only for the benefit of all the animals but for me and the people I come in contact with through training their horses. I look forward to signing up for the course to make this something I can teach others. My life has changed so much for the better in these last few weeks. My animals are at peace and my eyes are much more opened to the animal world. Blessings to you and your families. Much love Caroline

I am just at the beginnings of this process but am enjoying it thoroughly. Taking the time to get present hasn't always been easy for me so following the chapters one by one has really helped me slow down and focus. I'm looking forward to making more connections with my animals, and for those in my future. Love all the video tutorials, they really help me understand the process. I learn best by watching.
Thank You for sharing this beautiful experience with us.

Best Regards
Ali

I am thoroughly enjoying this course. I feel it has been the missing link to all my relationships with my animals.
I'm looking forward to finding a deeper connection with the animals in my life.
I love all the video tutorials, watching these really help me learn the process better, I tend to learn best by watching.
I also love how all the chapter are broken down and that I can always return to them for more understanding.
I feel this will become a life changing journey for me and the animals in my life.
Thank You for sharing this beautiful experience and knowledge with us all.
Best Regards
Ali

Thank you so much for the stunning work that you do, and teach. Thank You!
I have been deeply moved while watching the depth of kindness, care and respect given to the animals (and their humans). I feel I have witnessed many sacred moments throughout the video course.
The beauty I have experienced, just from witnessing what you do, has been profound and I don't doubt that it has been healing for me too.
I honor this really quite transcendent (yet very real and totally grounded), way of engaging with animals, that you have brought to the world.
Many, many, thanks, love and blessings,
Kristen ????

I am really impressed about the Trust Technique. The sense of peace and connection is amazing and i is changing the world.
A big Thank you for this great work and teaching this knowledge,
i definitely will enrol in the Video course an look forward to diving deeper into its possibilities

Thank you for these beautiful videos. Your explanation is so calming and the message so resonates. I found a tool to not only connect with my dog, Shadow, but with the people around me as well as finding a way to peace within. Just like the mind creating a link to the animals, I must have also found your video through thought wanting to find a way to connect with my dog.
Thank you for sharing these ways of being with all beings .
Deborah

So far love this!

I really enjoy this course!
It is so beautiful to see how this amazing technique works.

Love Talitha

I have shared what the first , cheaper session, taught me with anyone that will listen. I tried the techniques, though only lightly understood, with my animals. Their reactions were surprising but , yes, after introspection, predictable. It has helped and enriched my relationships with both my human friends and my animals. Thank you.

Such a gentle loving technique for both animals and humans!

I am very much enjoying this course even though I struggle with internet connection which stops me in the middle at times. I can already feel the difference in my horses attitude towards me and can't wait to repair the trust between us. The lions of course were amazing. I did not expect this technique to work so well with Wild animals. I am hoping my cows will appreciate this too! Thank you. I remember when I was young telling someone I thought animals were telepathic but I was told not to be so daft
I was gutted but have always felt that way but needed help to organise my thoughts. Great stuff

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.

I have a great pyrenees mix and a pittie mix. After we moved to a new house more than a year ago, they became increasingly reactive to other dogs and people. What I thought would be a quiet street in the back of the housing development, turns out to be the busiest street in the development. Constant cars, people, dogs, stray cats, and deer passing in front of the house or through the wooded area behind. It got to a point where the dogs seemed to be barking near constantly and I work from home so that made meetings problematic. Sleep was right out the window. I was overwhelmed and at my wits end when I found the Trust Technique. And wow, what a difference it made. I'm a week in and my dogs have stopped barking at almost everything. People, animals, cars, construction noises at the end of the street; they could care less. Still working on the UPS guy. I feel calmer, less stressed and less anxious and so do the dogs. And how wonderful to sleep through the night again. Looking forward to finishing the course and seeing where it will take us.

So very grateful for the insights. This way of being with horses was what I'd been looking for, the missing link! Very excited to be starting the practitioner course very soon.

Thanks for always showing kindness. Distribution and introducing peace and love for all animals will make the world a better place for humans as well.

This video tutorial is fabulous. It explains the trust technique in a manner that is digestible, easy to understand and shows the profoundness of the technique.
There is repetition, though only to teach and it is not too much as to seem redundant. I have anew awareness of worldwide animal welfare situations that I did not have before! I have learned so much that I want to delve deeper and have applied for the Practitioner Program.
I am now peaceful, my dogs are peaceful and our home is a wee sanctuary of it own. I hope to be able to share this feeling and content with folks who long for a better way.....a more understanding more peace filled life.

Well done James, Shelley & Team.

My sister, a horsewoman in Minnesota, bought me the first three intro videos as a gift. She had been taking the Virtual Series and I could begin to see the difference in her and her animals. I am a dog trainer in Santa Fe and just begun the virtual series but already feel that my relationship with the animals and their humans will take a wonderfully different trajectory now. I'll keep you posted.

This course should be taught in schools. Not only would the pupils learn better but their teachers would teach better too. The peace and gentleness delivered by The Trust Technique would benefit the whole world on a Spiritual level, affecting both the human race and the entire animal kingdom, giving us deeper understanding, mindful regard and appreciation for everything that lives. I have done many courses over the years but none can compare in anyway, shape or form to this one. It is unique.... and I am so very grateful to have found it.

I have a Border Collie - 14 yrs old - Still very high energy. So this Trust Technique with Shep was informative and familiar. This lesson gives me inspiration to work with my own Border Collie. I love this Technique. It is so gentle and loving.

My daughter Cathy bought this course for me, so her name is mentioned above.I am extremely happy with the Trust technique videocourse. For me it was like finding "the missing link" in my relationship with animals. (horses, dogs cats). Sometimes the right things happened, but I could not explain it. Neither did I find these answers with the so called whisperers. (Well, now I know thatis too loud either:) .) The course works in a nice way. You can learn and practice step by step. The video.s shows you the Trust Technique with al kind of animals, owners, environments and problems. The only regret I have is: why didnt I find the Trust Technique not years and years ago. Thank you for sharing this technique. It will benefit so many humans and animals. Wil.

I usually wait until I am finished with a learning experience before giving feedback. I am happy with the course so far...but a very unusual thing happened today. I am in the middle of the USA on the banks of the Mississippi River and we are having a cold snap -6 degrees below zero right (F) right now. I went outside to check on and feed our large animals(horses,alpaca's)..I feed extra rations and check on the stalls etc to make sure everything is alright when it gets this cold. Well I had been doing the 10 minute a day quiet time with our labs...they are pretty laid back and they lay down ,fall asleep, yawn pretty quickly. They always are with me. Well I just stood there in the barn and tried to become present , tried to clear my mind as the instructor says to do. The horses have been with us a while and are pretty mellow ,they started yawning and quit eating and approached me. The labs laid down in the gangway of the barn by my feet and the horses just sort of all stood there. About that time ,I started thinking ,boy this is pretty wierd, the horse closest to me ,scout turned around and looked out of the barn,then he looked back at me twice. I thought that I had ruined it all by starting to think .....thats when I saw it. Now mind you it is snowing heavily right now and its blizzard conditions. at first I thought that it was one of the Alpaca's named" co-co" but on second glance ,it was a deer. Then I saw another ,and another and another .... (this time of year ,in our area deer do something called "yarding up" .... they form a large herd of loosely related relatives,this provides saftey during the winter). ALL the deer walked up to the barn area and all of them started laying down.I had been standing there about a half an hour ,the horses finished feeding and I walked away with the dogs to the house. At first I thought that maybe becouse of the bad weather the deer were really just bedding down for the night early. Then I thought about it,I have lived on this farm for 30 plus years and I am an avid outdoors person....I have never seen this before. Another thing,the labs are very calm but they ALWAYS bark at the deer...they didn't...I also walked right by where the deer started to lay down ... and I didn't see them?... I
have never seen them this close to the barn...and why were they walking up toward the barn, looking right at me.... ...they had to know I was there...why didn't they run? Well it might all be because of the weather and maybe they were hungry or didn't see or smell me.....I doubt it, though...This whole experience kinda weirded me out....Is it possible that the whole herd of deer decided to just lay down at 3 pm in the afternoon ,out in the open ,during the biggest snow storm of the year? Well this course now really has my attention...it is a bit mind bogeling if the technique is that simple.. Well.I am going to "be persistent and patient" and see what happens.

I am only 25% of the way through the course but have already found it to be enormously rewarding. I don't even have any animals at present, but find the psychological principles and practices fascinating, and all the videos so inspiring to my spiritual interests and understandings. The general effect is one of peacefulness.

I tried this communication with my cat. I didn't get an image right away, but a little later when I was meditating, I saw an image of a very wet cat and a boat - which made me wonder if she had fallen out of a boat. However, this kitty is very interested in water. She will sit by her water dish, put her paw in the water and watch the ripples. Also, she loves the rain, even snow. When there's weather, she'll run in and out of the doggy door getting excited.

Even though I'm not quite sure how to interpret the images I have received, I believe they were very connected to her. I've never received such a specific image before. I know your technique works, and I am motivated to try this with my other animals as well; they (2 dogs, 3 cats) are all rescues.

I have just completed the video course. During this period of corona virus I spaced out the course to give myself uplifting moments. Like many of us, spending time with our animals has felt extra precious over the past 12 months. I felt so happy to be able to give back to my horse, by using the trust technique as a thank you to him for all he gives to me. Thank you James and Shelley.

Hello!
starting the year under the impression of lockdown, distancing and all the changes that had to be mace in social life, a friend said: we must open our view for something that doesn't have these limits. There should be something for us to broaden, to deepen our understanding and personal life quality despite all these restraints we are feeling from covid. So I decided to keep my eyes open for a hint.... and came upon Trust Technique videos, don't ask me how. And it spoke to my heart immediately. But then - I don't have any animal just now. What for, then? So I purchased the first little course, I thought: well, it's like reading a book. Then decided to go on.
It has been the experience of a refuge into a peaceful place, can't say it otherwise. Working on my own issues during the course gave me insight and the tools do deal with some well-known packages I was carrying. I am deeply grateful do be able to watch the course videos, to work through the exercises, and to enhance my own peace of mind and what I bring into the world by this. Smiling still at the fact that there is no animal friend yet. ( I had thought of a cat again for the moment of my retirement next year.... )
But, there may be something coming my way, you never know, do you.
Thanks a lot to you, James and Shelley, for your work and the beautiful way you are presenting it to us. For the others in your team, too, who keep things working.
Take care, all of you. We will live through this period and then enjoy what we took for granted even more.

I think that the Trust Technique is an awesome way to BE with animals!! I am loving the lessons and learning soooo much. When your sharing comes up on face book, I always pass it on.

The Trust Technique has definitely been the best thing I have ever done for my horse Edward Bear. The best money I have ever spent.
Edward Bear is my 17'2 Hanoverian gelding. He was very aggressive in his stall. He would kick, buck, bare his teeth and bite. Obviously everyone considered him very dangerous. He had bit me on several occasions. I was at my wits end.
I purchased the Trust Technique and started working with him on Jan 27th. The transformation with Edward Bear has been unbelievable. I worked with him very slowly and followed that exact advice of Shelly and James. Another outstanding part of this course was when I reached out for some help , Shelly emailed me back within 24 hours. Very impressive in this day and age. Shelly was extremely knowledgeable and gave me very specific details on how to work with him.
Edward Bear has literally been transformed. Even the staff at the stable have said in awe, "What have you done to him?" I am now able to tack him up in his stall with no aggressive reactions. Edward Bear is a show jumper and was very reluctant to work. Now he seems very eager to please me. He even comes to the door ready to put his halter on. I did not think this would ever be possible.
Shelly and James, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing your Trust Technique to the world.
Sincerely Carolyn Klause and Edward Bear:)

I am so deeply thankful that this videocourse came into my life. It makes me really happy and by watching these videos, I feel always deep touched. Thank you James for realisating this course for all of us - a true wonderful gift. Lots of love from switzerland, Christine

This is the most brilliant thing I have ever come across. It has helped me with my animals, myself, and my life. It has allowed me to first be a volunteer at an animal shelter and work with cats in the adoption room, then in a health isolation area get well, and then in walking dogs and to get into a kennel with an unknown dog for me who used to be afraid of them is amazing. After that I have moved into the veterinary field and while I can't say I'm a practitioner I can say I am the fractious animal holder at my office because I can keep my energy down, be present, and regard the animal. This is all invaluable work and the more people who learn about it the better the world will be!

I have just finished the online course, and all I can say is WOW. I have grown up around animals my entire life and have had this unique connection with them. However while growing up I had seen how wrong they have been treated, like they are below us, not as important as us, or just considered to be stupid and emotionless. Where as I had always felt that was untrue and a horrible way to treat animals. For years I had wanted to become a Vet, to help animals, but that route didn't feel like it resonated and wouldn't make the impact that I wanted to achieve. I needed more. A connection, a healthy and nurturing way to help animals. To also find a way to teach others how to treat animals in a kind and loving way, that there is more to them than what most humans have been taught.

Then I found The Trust Technique on a whim, a random Ad on Facebook showing their video grabbed my attention. I watched the video of James riding one of the horses without any tack, and leading a herd of horses without any form of control. It was one of those moments where I knew that this was the answer I was looking for. Since then I have gone through all the content, and it is beautiful to say the least. There is so much to learn not only about animals on a spiritual, physical, and emotional level, but also about the self. Learning to tune into my own emotions, regard them and how to heal them. I have received a great lesson in healing myself and I have grown so much just in watching this. I have been deeply inspired to pursue this technique as a career to help animals and their relationships with humans. To bring peace of mind to all I interact with.

If you love animals and want to create a bond created with trust and unconditional love, then this course is for you. Even if you don't want to pursue it as a career, it is an amazing perspective to have that will benefit you and anyone in your life, human or animal.

Thank you for all that you do, bringing unconditional love to light so that we can all heal and grow together.

Brilliant! Just Brilliant. Thanks for everything. ???????????????????? Very inspiring.

It was watching Anna Breytenbach communicating with a black leopard that alerted me to what is possible in this territory. Since small, I have had good relationships with animals and talked to them freely (and sometimes silently), but being able to decipher the specifics of what they communicated back has never been as highly developed in me as I saw it in Anna. The person who recommended Anna to me, also recommended your work, and I'm so grateful to have found this course.
I really appreciate (and am enjoying) the user-friendliness and flexibility of the facilities (such as the notetaking function).
I think this course should be part of the required curriculum in every school in the country!
I love the blend of information, video footage with animals and practical exercises.
I fill with tears, and then I grin, every time I watch one your videos. Feeling the tangible relief in each horse at it flops down beside its quietly loving human listener.
I do not live with an animal at present. If I did, it would be a cat, but 'pets' are not allowed where I live. (The attached photo is of a late great feline friend, Rupert).
So learning is for me for now and to share with my next new animal companion in the future.

Animals have been the focus in my life as long as I can remember. I have always felt a bond with all creatures and now I know why. This explains a lot of encounters both good and bad that I have had in my past with my animal friends. I look forward to learning so much more, and what I find is so amazing is that most of it is about me learning, not the animal as I have always thought!

The TT is what i was ever searching for.... a method without dominance.
Everyone tells, you have to be the leader, the boss etc.... But that was just not me.
A lot videos from the course touched me deebly. Its such a gentle language - i really love it!
Its a great enrichment for live in every respect.

THANK YOU!

I am only a short way through the course. However, I have gone from thinking, "what have I done, all those units with sub-units, have I committed to climbing Mt Everest, how can I cope with all this?" to thinking that Trust Technique should be mandatory training for all aspiring vets as well as those who have been practicing for years, along with their staffs! Owners should all be grilled on how to do it too! What I have seen so far is absolutely amazing.

I have long 'whispered' to my cats over the years and especially when I was away from home, at work, or on holiday but I didnt feel that I could really 'hear' their response and was a bit skeptical that they might actually have understood my message. I am just coming to that bit in the course; how I wish I had known about all of this years ago!

I am happily working my way through and feel confident that I will finish it, something I've not been too good at with other commitments lately! I have also found that it is good for me personally as my 'stuff' is being sorted as well as my learning how to sort pet problems.

I havent yet fallen asleep at James' feet but do feel pretty sleepy sometimes, but then I am looking at the videos at home not in person!

Thank you for all the work you have done, and the way the course is structured makes it easy to do.

I am a human Chiropractor for 36 years and own a Wellness Center for the last 20 years in upstate New York. I have had lifetimes of healing modalities, meditation and Yoga. Words can not begin to describle how inspired and deeply moved I am by the simplicity and profound effectiveness
of the Trust Technique. I happened upon it when viewing a documentary on the Beautiful Jim Key and it could not have come at a better time.
I had been highly stressed with my 92 year old mom's progressing dementia and have found the TT of Becoming Present and inviting her to join me in
being peaceful has been transformative for both of us. I have a deep sense that every caregiver of animals and humans would benefit from this learning.
From my truest place of love and gratitude - I thank you James.
Maria
PS My dear sweet horse Raven who has been taking on a lot of responsibility for me is also greatly relieved.

cannot put it down and really good that you can go back over anything i seem to need to do the testimonials a few times loving the effect on my horses did not realise how many problems we had just moved again second time in two years!!!!!??????????

I am so joyfull to attend this course because I feel it is not a method but something "therapeutic" for animals and people too. Thank you so much!

What a brilliant course! I enjoyed it so so much. I love the fantastic videos, how James explains everything in simple terms and makes it so easy to learn and understand as well as the whole set-up of the course which is so well organised. I wish for your course to go viral and for as many people as possible to learn from it to get a better understanding how special our animals are and how much they are giving us. I am so very grateful for all the amazing work you do. A BIG Thank you to you James and Shelley and your fantastic team.

I would love to have more time to watch, listen and learn can't wait for night time to have my hour to watch

I have very much enjoyed this course . I want to learn more to communicate with my very sensitive horse, my granddaughter's very opinionated pony , my dogs and last but not least my cows who can all read me like a book. I love the concept and believe it will help us enormously. I do however struggle with falling asleep whilst doing the exercises. I get too relaxed. Thank you.

Thank you so much for offering this course. The more I listened, the more I felt the present moment, and the more my issues started to melt away. Now I am with all my animals with such a different being and they all love it. I am able to have the relationship with them that I always wanted and deep down knew it was possible , but didn't know how. This video course is invaluable. I am forever changed.
With deep sincere gratitude!
Heidi

I am sooooo "muchly" enjoying these courses. I did the responsibility lesson with my cat, Magic, and uncovered an amazing bond. Turns out we both have abandonment issues. I have felt a very special bonding with him ever since. I have been practicing the Present Moment with my animals, and I am finding that
I am experiencing at least as much peace as my animals. The Trust Technique fits nicely with me as I have been a meditator for many years.

I am just starting but the few videos I've seen touched me very deeply. I had the very strong feeling that this is what I wanted to learn. I also realise that I made several mistakes with our own animals, dogs, cats. And I hope strongly that it is possible to heal it. In them and in myself. Thanks for learning this to us.

I'm less than half way trough , and I absolutely love it . I'm also falling in love with all those animals , and cried when Bella died ! Thank you !

Die Trust Technik ist sehr effektiv. Gut erklärt durch die vielen Videobeispiele.

Thank you for sharing all these peaceful stories with us????

I have just started using the Trust Technique with my Hanovarian 7 year old gelding in the last two days. He has had some problems with aggression in the past. I can't believe that change in him and also in me. ( the way I was behaving with him) I am elated, he has become a willing partner:)
Thank you James for the Trust Technique!

love the video s the way the spots appear it keeps you on your toes and alert really good and very interesting

So far I am very enthousiastic about the course, and the work being done for animals. I have worked with presence for many years, and am impressed by the very clear instructions on how to learn to be present with yourself. I wonder if this has a long term effect on the people using the technique and would like to hear the feedback from people using the presence technique.

I bought a super sensitive horse. She has lead me on a journey of figuring out what she needs. I am having a lot of fun with just the first messages. My creative reactions have lead to creative reactions from the horses too!! Wishka has trouble walking thru the woods with me. I have walked the same paths one hundred times and she still air cribs and acts dangerous. Believe me I am still on the ground! I tried to ride her lately with a buddy but had to make him wait and bury her head in his tail to stay safe. I want my old horse with no teeth to eat clover. Nice and soft and I hope digestible so we like to walk to the unused field. Today I put the halter on the lead mare and off the four of us went. Wishka, my sensitive horse has over come most of the fear on the way there so I let her play and run free on the way there... Once there and everyone had had their fill I put the halter on Wishka. I asked to her with as little high thinking as I could muster to walk home with me slowly, even if everyone else dashed off. please. Well! creatively thinking I listened to her when she asked to hurry on down the path before the others thought about leaving. The old mare came with us. She only past us when she had to tumble down the steep hill. Her son followed her. To my surprise they stopped at the bottom of the hill and waited on us. The old mares mate stayed behind us. This is the first time ever that the loose horses did not take off willy nilly, for a nice run home. They all walked behind us home. Wishka air cribbed only twice before she realized they were waiting on her. I am sharing the ideas with everyone that will slow down and hear me. I am having so much fun with it. I am listening to the messages over and over and over. Georgie

I would like to thank James and his team for the instructive lessons and fantastic filmreports. It’s amazing to see how a human with this TT can solve so many problems in animal kingdom . I’m so grateful that i saw this article about TT in the CAP(a horsemagazine), this was the start to have a look on james’ projects. I know some people with a lot of gifts or talents(even spiritual) but James is the number one in the top 10. I would definitely like to meet him.

What I've learned so far has been fantastic. It's helped me to begin to take control of my extra thinking and that can only benefit the animals and people that are in my life.

Hello James and Shelly,
Wow, you made a grade shift in my life with your course! Not only for my cat Gizmo, but I made a lot of more animals very happy including the animal being me! The connection I now feel with nature, some horses I met and other animals (i.e. some cows) and people are warm and profound, much deeper that ever before your course.
Also the realisation that the connection is real and that we don't need any spiritual dogma, accessories and stories to create an authentic and peacefull state of mind and way of life and help other animals to feel calm, peaceful, happy. For the world, for nature, all animals, including us people.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Warm greetings from the Netherlands, Ida Verstraten

This was the most loving thing that I have ever done with my horses, what a wonderful experience, bringing me so much closer to my center than I could have ever imagined. I am grateful and my boys are as well.
In love and light
Adelle

so far found it brilliant driving my husband mad as i want to watch it all day and night presently in bed and he is complaining tried the trust method on him this am and whilst complaining he came over and sat beside me and went very quiet wow wow wow love it

I love the way james makes everything so simple how he explains it is so clear and with the video back up fantastic really enjoying the course so far cos i have just started. Having trouble remembering it is trust technique want to tell everyone touch technique of course linda tellington touch

This course has been life saving in this pandemic and lockdowns. The best money I have ever spent.
Thank you so much James and Shelley for developing this wonderful work.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Dear James and Shelly, Ive been praying to find something that I really feel I could trust when it comes to my dogs and understanding them better. And one day there you were. This is so much better than I ever could expect. This is by far the best thing Ive come across in this field ever. Im thankful beyond words for all the beautiful work you are doing for animals around the world and that you put it all together in this form for people to learn. Im learning so much about my animals and also myself. I wish everyone in the world knew about this! Im so happy and I just want to give you both a gigant hug! Bless you

I am absolutely fascinated of this technique. I am so happy, I got to know of it by a documentary in the Swiss TV.
Actually I am (was) quite afraid of animals - especially horses and dogs - but by now I got a very new understanding of them and these creatures found a way into my heart.
My cat Kyra asks me at least once a day to spend some present moments with her. That is just beautiful

The Trust Technique has completely shifted the way I view emotions and connection to animals, particularly when dealing with animals who need some help with confidence. It has also complemented my shift into the world of positive training, and taught me how to best support my animal with her emotional issues in a respectful and peaceful way. I recommend every animal handler do this course - it's truly a game changer.

I'm only 8% through this course so far but I am absolutely loving it. I can't wait to get on to the practitioners course as doing this has so told me that that is what I should've been doing as a career all my life. Still, it's never too late to start doing what you love..... even though I'm very nearly 70.
I just hope that not too many people learn how to do this for themselves or I'll be redundant before I've qualified!! :))

75% way through and just watched bears of Asia. I had seen a documentary on this awful practise some years ago. It was uplifting to watch James with the bears.

Hi everyone, well, I have done it just purchased my TTVC Yawooo, so excited, and here I go, a journey of a lifetime.

I've had dogs all my life, and worked with them Professionaly for the last twenty puls years. This Course has given me new insight, and a new appreciation for HOW we can comunicate.

I would love to take the Practitioner's Course when I complete the rest of the Trust Technique.

Thank you for the work you do with Sancuaries, and teaching the staff this Technique so they can apply it to help all the animals in their care.

Thank you for sharing!

Trust Technique really appealed to me because of its gentle and peaceful approach to being with animals. I had long felt at odds with many conventional animal training methods so this looked just the ticket. And it is! I am just about to complete the online video course, but I want to watch the videos all again! I have started to use the TT with our four dogs and my horse over the last few weeks and subtle changes have already begun to show. Our dogs can be particularly excitable. They're all related as well so the pack bond is strong! Our Mummy dog visibly relaxed when she realised she doesn't have the burden of care for the entire family unit, it was so magical. She has become more playful with us, and not just her two babies. She actively seeks us out for "together time" instead of sitting apart from us. Her brother has grown in confidence too and no longer lets the male pup push him around; there is a growing respect between the two of them. It's making outings tranquil and more enjoyable too. We are all more relaxed and gentler with our communications to each other on a human level as well! We all just love it! So happy to have discovered TT. It has answered all my animal concerns. Thank you James and Shelley.

I have only just begun the video cause and so far I have found it mesmerising. Very meditative and relaxing. Thank you James.

I love it 😉 I am so impressed by James clarity, lucidity and gentleness. Thank you. I am going on to build up a great relationship with my horse.

I cannot wait to do the course. I have 22 horses and heaps of other animals that would benefit and include myself. Thanks for Sharing.

I have just started this program and have been mesmerized with the technique. Because of changes in my life right now, moving to a new place, I've had to put the course on hold for a bit. But I am very anxious to get back to it and intend to go all the way, perhaps even into the practitioner program. The work that James and Shelley do is amazing, and the courses are very easy to use and follow. I found out about this technique and program from a friend who went thru the program, and from the moment I watched the first messages of trust, I was hooked. This program is truly a gift!

What an incredibly beautiful technique to learn and practice. What a gift. Thank you

My doggle, Sophie, is a rescue and incredibly sensitive. I've tried to work with several trainers but I am not comfortable with the pack leader/dominant type of training. It just feels wrong to me, especially with this sweet dog (not to mention, it has backfired on us both). I was praying for a miracle to help me with her, and I don't even remember at this point how I found the Trust Technique...but I found it.
I love this way of working with Sophie, and of course, me!

It is a beautiful technique, and it brings results in a gentle and respectful way for my dog.

Thank you, James and Shelley, for creating this system and making it available to us!

I love the trust Technique and have used it for years with all animals. It is so awe-inspiring to have troubled horses lay down and finally be able to relax. What a gift!

Thank you James,

Margaret Cruise

It is really amazing to me what we can achieve when we practice the present moment.
Yesterday I worked with my cat and to day also with my horse.
First story about my cat:
As i wrote already my cat has ben injured and I just can´t get her to a doctor in a cave and car. So I bought a really big one for dogs and where she can´t get more injuries. I tried to get in the present moment just to help her not getting so wild. But it was so difficult for me to came down my self. And it happened that she some how was able to open the zipper of the cave and all of a sudden she was next to me in the car. And also down at my feet. Uh I had to turn aside it was too dangerous to keep on driving. Then I calmed down myself and told her, listen this was just a little ride and we will go home now. At this moment I stoped thinking and she sat on my lap and looked out of the window and we drove home like that. And at home after she went outside and had something to eat she went asleep in her scratch tree and I saw her back leg in firmly. Then I again practiced the PM and then I started to do feldenkrais (I learned thin in swisserland during one year of teaching) and I realized that also when I do feldenkrais with animals I have to get into the PM. And my cat started to release her pain und also her leg. So with the PM I was able not only to help her with her leg I could also help her to release her drama, when she was put on the street as a baby and all alone. Today I gave her feldenkrais again starting with the PM. And as I learned from the course I had to prove my thoughts. Wich was also not so easy. And I found out when it is a thought and when I started with thinking about a thought.
So next my horse:
Anton, he is stressed I think, because it must be stressful when you always look for food, no. That means he checks my pockets. And it not nice to be pushed just because he asks for a goody. So I said to my self why not try the PM and see what happens. It took me at least 20 min. He went back and forth he turned to the other horses and banged against the door auf our cleaning area. But once in a while he come towards me and asked again for a goody. I gentle pushed him aside. And he went away. I had to go back to the PM every time he came and went. But the interesting to me was that his ears always turned to me. And after some work he came on my side stayed there nice and quite without pushing me. I waited for a minute. I thought too long is not good. Just to keep this good moment for him. I just took the holster put it over his head, he was still standing and not bothering. And for my first time he went back with me to his place in the stable passing two haysacks and not one look to the hay. I could easily lead him on a lead rope. I was so happy and thankful. And then you won´t beliefe it all the other horses except the leader where sleeping on the ground. I though could that be that these horses enjoyed also what I did with mine?
And coming home I worked again with my cat. It is so wonderful to see and understand their questions and thoughts.
I found out when my cat tells me - please stroke me - and when she doesn´t want it. Getting to know that I also learned through the lessons with James when I should go back to the PM and leave the cat without stroking and when she starts asking for a stroke. And at the end she asked me to put my hand under her head and she let go and relaxed stretching her legs and yarning. And on the pic you can see that her leg is no more firmly tightened. I can only post one pic but next time you get the nice one of my horse. Because after I did the PM with him he also went back and relaxed.
Just wonder full. Thanks for sharing.

The trust technique has really opened my eyes how you can interact with animals on a deep level that does not include ideas of dominance and leader. My relationship with our dog has changed into mutual respect and understanding. I now see her as a being with species specific needs and little problems have relaxed. Thank you James and Shelley for teaching all animal lovers another way. And thank you very much for your generosity!

I have actually two testimonials.
1. my horse Anton. He was always testing me when I wanted to get his front hoof. And since I started to practice the present moment it changed a lot. Almost 9 out of 10 times he just lifts the hoof by him self. I just need to point at the leg and ask him if it is OK to take it and clean it.

2. my cat Lilli. She was a baby cat when she was found on the street alone by her self. A family took her home to Austria and there she stayed for one year. And then they had to give her away as their daughter became allergic to the cat. There are two subjects I am working on.
The first is her wilderness as she sometimes gets so exited on what ever that she just scratches me to hard.
and the second is, that she gets bitten by other cats quite often and the first time she didn´t allow me to get close to her at all. And just today she was injured again. And now she lets me get closer and closer. She also put her had into my palm of my hand. And then I started to practice the present moment after she wanted to lay on a different place. And it was so good to see her relaxing and stretching. Wanderful.

Yesterday, I applied James' s practice, delivering a message of love to my cherished dog, Yoghio, I was so much at pain to put to sleep a year ago. Yoghio was fifteen years old with generalized cancer of the bowels and under sedation. Yoghio was a black labrador type mixed with French Hound and Bas Rouge (sheperd). He was a wonderful companion very noble in temper and I had him with me since a puppy.
Well, I don't what to make of it but he visited me in my sleep: unmistakably him but with the brilliant black robe of his teens and without the white moustache of his later days. A pure moment of joy!

I am presently following the video course dealing with the necessity to work at the pace of the animal. My English is not that fluent that I can catch every bit of the verbal interchange. But thanks to the videos I get the overall feeling of what is being demonstrated plus the pleasure to watch how responsive to the technique the animals are.

Hi Team, I am beginning the Course and enjoy it! It is also very emotional.
I do practice too : today with a fly, that I rescued from yesterday drowning in my dogs' bowl of water. Today, the fly doesn't escape when I'm approching it and comes down on my hand to eat. AC helps too. Thanks a lot for sharing this course with me, as a member.
Bye, I have some more videos and tutorials to work an 🙂 Kind regars, Benedicte.

I thought this course would teach me about animals. But James French does so much more. He teaches us how to live with compassion and understanding with all scient beings. Be prepared to embark on a surprising journey of self discovery and healing to our world . Amazing work....

As a human being, I'm deeply touched by the message of hope this course gives: that loving kindness works, that it's enough, we don't need the harsh corrections. As a long-time animal lover, meditator and craniosacral therapist, I'm impressed by the way this course finds a way to extract the basics of the human-animal relationship that leads to trust, healing and learning, so that other people can obtain results through practicing simple steps. As a scientist, I'm impressed by the value of the documentation these videos represent, in so many different areas - trauma, mindfulness, connection, sensitivity, behaviour.... It's amazing. As a vet, I'm excited by its potential to heal chronic disorders where classical approaches fail. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And congratulations with a wonderful course!

Waiting till after I have completed the course! The introduction videos were just wht I dreamed of

wow, it truly works!
the big question i have is: how do i start to trust humans??? or should ever trust humans?

The best most worthwhile purchase I have made this year! Thank you James and Shelley

This is absolutely amazing! Just what I need now. Now is the time for me.
James is very good and speeks in a way that is easy for me ( who is swedish ) to understand.
Love this very much!

I have just completed the sessions demonstrating the trust technique with Ares, the lion. and Bella and Grace, the horses. It's moving and beautiful to see how gracefully the animals are responding and how the staff of the refuges quickly interiorise the technique.

'The Trust Technique' (through this Video Course) and my 'Paddock Paradise' (Track System) are the two most worthwhile things that I have ever done for my little herd. I would (and already have) highly recommend it to all animal lovers. A heartfelt thank you to James, Shelley and all the team, for their compassion, dedication and generosity of spirit. Together, with their guidance we can make it a better world for animals everywhere. I too —' Have a Dream.'

I have absolutely loved working through this course, in fact so much so that I didn't want to get to the end. i have cried many times, and constantly been in awe of the wonderful understanding that James shares with so many animal species. On a practical level, it has greatly enhanced my ability to share special moments with my own animals, in particular a very sensitive miniature Shetland mare who has been with me for over fifteen years. Fanta has never shown any desire to spend time with me, often walking away when i approached her. There have been occasions when i couldn't get near enough to put her headcollar on for the farrier's visit, and then her feet missed their trim. But now that I have learned how to be in the present moment and use mindful regard, she comes up to me willingly and asks for a scratch. i have four ponies and have felt many times over the summer that they have been working with James to teach me. Thank you so much, James and Shelley, for giving me the opportunity to be the person my ponies want me to be. And also, to the memory of Delorean who showed how powerful trust and love can be.

Of all the degrees and courses I have done, this course has been the most valuable - it fills your heart with peace and hope. The Trust Technique compliments Reiki and Crystal therapies beautifully. It also helped me to re-connect with PEACE, something that I last felt when growing up and living in the bushveld in Africa. Just watching the video's reminds one as to what actually matters in life and our amazing, natural ability as humans to connect with these beautiful souls. This course is such a gift, if is very well set out and explains the technique beautifully. Thank you.

This is a fab course! James is clear and concise and keeps it really simple. I wish I'd found him earlier!

WOW I can not begin to thank you for offering this message of enlightenment.

Without writing an essay it will be difficult to describe how wonderful this course is. It should be part of everyone's education... to help improve our understanding and appreciation for the animals we share this planet with. Thank you so much, James and Shelley, for your wonderful work and for this most incredibly moving and informative video library.

I'm so grateful I found you and your work, This is exactly what I was always looking for and I hope, more and more people will share this spirit of treating animals and also themselves... THANK YOU!

I have for many years been working on how to communicate to dogs and cats to understand them more to help them live in a human word better. So far what I have learn about Trust Technique is helped greatly. And working to learning more.

Very good - this is the way we all should be working, it's perfect. It may require a lot, a lot, of unlearning as you go along depending how you've worked before, but go for it, it really works 🙂

This course is truly for me, the way forward in being with animals. It has taught me so much and I am eternally grateful for stumbling across this path. I am very excited to move into the next phase.
The last lesson/video was incredibly moving.

Thank you ????????

I am happy, that I found the way to you, or maybe it founds me. It is so beautiful to see what relationship and connection you James have with the anmimals, and also with the human. The way you teach the animals with their friends is so lovely. It is touching my heard. For me it was always so that the animals are also beings with awareness, feelings, emotions and their own opinion about their live. To see how many people follow this course and share the way being with the animals heal so much. You teach a such simple way to be peaceful to slow down and to geht in connection with everything. It was always difficult for me to meditate. But like this it is a liberation of all the constructions. Every day I take time for the present moment, on the walk with the dog, when I am waiting for something.....
The video course is well done, with theory teachings and the practical videos. I can follow very well becouse you speak en english clearly and slowly. So I improve also my english knowledge. Thank you James and Shelley for sharing this with the world, it is a greate gift.
Sorry for the mistakes.

So far I'm thoroughly enjoying the course and inspired to take this patience and empathy out to my horses each day. It is also a valuable self improvement tool - should be taught to children in kindergarten - imagine!

I am so impressed how well this course is explained and presented. But most of all I love the contents and the outcome and effects it will have on the animals and on everyone doing this course. Great job James and Shelley and thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.

Thank you James, for this fantastic offering to humans and animals! I've been meditating for many years, learning from many brilliant teachers , but none of them have offered me an approach that is as simple, clear, efficient, respectful, and directly applied to the benefit of all. I've also been dealing with trauma for many years, again learning from several brilliant teachers, but this video-course has given me a unique understanding of the patience needed. Thanks to you, the most sensitive and scared hidden parts are finally dearing to emerge, being received by a caring and competent grownup. As I watch the videos, I can feel healing occurring inside the animals and inside of me. Thank you, thank you, and deep bow .

Thank you for making this beautiful course, with loads of very interesting cases. I was surprised how well I could learn the technique from "a screen".
But in fact the real teachers are our horses, dogs and cats, who showed so clearly when I was on the right track (or not).
What a gift for both animals and humans (kids), the peace of mind spreading within our household, especially in this unpeaceful Corona period.

I'm 25% through the course so far. Loving the construction of tutorials and videos. I have done a lot of practising and found it very rewarding.

Thank you very much for providing the video course. What an eye-opener. I've learned a lot on how to be around animals and I've made myself slow down a lot. There were moments when I was tear-struck. I'm totally amazed by what you are doing. Please keep up the good work!

(First of all, sorry for my english.. 😉 )
Hello dear friends,
After having watched more than half theTTC courses, i can confirm that i still have a lot of pleasure in watching them and learning...
Although the technique seems very simple and repetitive, sit is each time richness and adapts to each situation.
James is fantastic and caring. Josh the cameraman who accompanies allows us to watch quality videos..
I'm deeply in touch by all the stories. All are reflecting what we are, think and feel. Our animals friends who accompany us throughout our lives are generous, act like they always want to make us happy (even if sometimes it doesn't seem like it) and take often a lot on them. I remain very humble to see such a beautiful Intelligence... Unfortunatly, that hasn't been always the case....
My first dog, named Urkan, was a beautiful strong beauceron. The dog educator often told me to dominate him otherwise he wouldn't respect us.. The education techniques were often agressive and rude....I was so wrong to follow his advise.... both Urkan and i weren't very confident and it was very difficult to stay peaceful....we had often issues with other male dog... not because Urkan was not well educated but more because of his lost of Trust, and especially my lost of Trust..... 🙁
Now Joya is our dog since 8 years. Education was totally different ; based on a lot of patience and kindness. This has given to us the chance to share a beautiful and close relationship full of Love and trust.
The Trust Technique gives me also the opportunity to resolve some issues that i had for almost 8 years with Joya, coming from her earlier age before we adopted her and of course from my owh problems which amplified the problematic...
The TT is so easy and in the same time so profound and intense.
I've been meditating since 20 years, very early in the morning during 1 and half hour but very rarely took i the time for a mindfull moment for my dog (andi i...;-). The benefits are indeniably efficient and work still even for other moments in the day or more...
More i do it more it becomes evident... it interacts of course also on my life directly and that's cool !!!! :-)))
Since 8 years Joya and i have both a very priviliege relationship: she is my best friend and we understand each other very well. All the friends and people who knows or meet us think that it couldn't be in a better way. But i must admit that The Trust Technique is allowing me, since i practice it - approximatly 1 month- to see a very positive evolution in the way that Joya and i are no more " attached / dependant" to each other in a way of needyness but far more by more Love and respect. I give her more space and she does the some regarding to me. We are no more in waiting something from the other and so we don't loose anymore so much energy....
To conclude, i definitly recommand this Technique and courses not only to each responsable person who lives issues with their animal friends but to other people who wish to deepen their relationship. This technique is non-invasive, respectful both for the animal and the owner.
More easy it is and more powerful it is also. After all these years it's the first time that i feel so much pleasure to "educate" or better to teach my dog and myself how to know eachother and communicate in a better way. Take time mindfully and practice the 3 PPP : patience, persistance and peacefull

WOW!! Absolutely amazing. I have just finished the course, and it has left me wanting more. I am in awe of James. I would recommend this course to any animal lover wanting a better understanding or relationship with their animals. Thank you so much, you guys are just incredible.

This is brand new territory for me though I’ve always felt a deep connection with my animals. There are times when I feel I can read their minds, or are they reading mine? Perfecting my communication with them is a long-standing dream of mine and I feel these courses will do it! Thank you for such inspirational and life affirming courses.

I am really enjoying finding out about the Trust Technique. The technique seems so simple but the results are incredible. The transformation in the animals is amazing and you can see how quickly they respond. I want to learn this technique to help my own dog who is anxious and reactive.
I like that I will always have access to the videos so I can go over things again. Plus the money paid will go towards helping animals and the great work being done through the TT.

Just finished the TT Video Course, and won't be long before I start it again. A huge thank you to Monika Haller for encouraging me to sign up for the course, for having me and one of my horses for a consult as part of her Practitioner Course, and for ongoing mentoring. Recently I had a horse with a very nasty leg injury, if not for TT and Monikas assistance I would not have been able to daily dress the wound. James and Shelley, I have been looking for a better way to connect and communicate with my horses for some time, even the so called Horse Whisperers left me feeling there had to be a better way, I was told I was dreaming.........Well, I never gave up on that dream. And how grateful am I to have found the TT and to you for making it available. The content and extent to which you explain and share is priceless...... Your dedication to helping make life peaceful for animals, particularly those in Sanctuaries brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart on many occasions. TT is also helping me personally with lifes challenges, and my horses are already responding positively to the change in my interaction with them and the sessions we have. Best thing I have ever done for myself and my horses.......

This video course has been very interesting and educational. I find it absolutely worth the cost. Thank you for the opportunity to learn, and to take part of the important work that you do around the world.

I have only just started the course and can see the tremendous value in learning the art and skill of mindful regard. Getting out of and away from the old traditional thinking towards animals, the self, others and our environment can only create a better and cooperative future for all wanting to experience true connection. Thank you for taking the many devoted years of planning and doing to find a better way and putting it in a platform that everyone can learn from no matter where in the world you live. Regards Leanne

I'm very impressed with the course layout and clarity of use. Clear instructions to follow and the graphics and layout are fantastic.

Very helpful tutorials, especially for me as I am older and challenged or intimidated with technology. Thank you.

I love the Trust Technique. It works so beautifully and easily, and makes such perfect positive changes in the animals that are engaged in your Trust work. I am so thankful for James French for discovering the Trust Technique!!

This course is life changing. I don't have any animals at the present but bought it because I feel so peaceful watching and listening to James and seeing the results he achieves with the animals is truly inspiring. I suffer from PTSD so feeling peaceful is very important for me and I am learning to , like the animals he works with cultivate a more peaceful mind and recognise my reactive states quicker . There is so much love and compassion here along with a real appreciation for another beings state of mind., without judgement. I am so glad that I have this course and connection to such an authentic body of work.
Thank you James and Shelley

What can I say? This is amazing. I am slowly working my way through the video course and am beginning to see the improvements in my relationships with my animals (dogs, ponies and cats). It's an emotional journey and a bit lonely, as I'm sure friends and family are wondering what on earth I'm doing! But it feels so right to be building relationships like this. I have some challenges ahead but feel sure that if anything can help my animals, it's the Trust Technique. Thanks so much for making it accessible.

This is my sweet adoption from a rescue and his name is Nugget. I have only had him for a couple weeks. I have a mare I named Snow White, She was given to me, was neglected and green that quickly became his buddy. She bit me the very first day I fed her. She would charge my children and try to bite them, she would kick. I was already working with liberty training, and a lot of affection to where the mare had warmed up to me and we really started to bond, but I could tell she still didn’t like any type of ground work. She would pin her ears and do it, but not happily. She would also follow me just about anywhere I went until I brought Nugget home, and then it felt like square one with her again. I started doing this TODAY twice and the horses would just stand completely relaxed as close to me as they could be. My mare didn’t nip the other horse, they would yawn and be completely content. Snow White and Nugget will both willingly leave one another In the pasture when they are together and follow me without stalling to wait for their friend to catch up. Before this, they were almost touching at all times. Nugget then rolled, laid for a second and got up right next to me. I had to take a picture of him, especially with it only being today I started. That was the first time he had rolled near me at all. I can see a HUGE shift in them once I started being present and not having expectations, thoughts or self-doubt. I told just about everyone about it. So amazing! I have done all sorts of mindfulness, Christian yoga, body work, meditation, but I always closed my eyes and I would find my mind wandering. When I had to focus on a spot, it clicked! That’s what was missing, especially when we realize psychologically how connected our eye movement is to our thinking. I just love it, and I am so excited to continue in it. I would give it triple the rating if I could.

An absolutely brilliant experience learning your technique through this video home course. I have learnt so much which has helped immensely with all my animals and other animals I have had to integrate my animals with.

Thank you..

Warm Regards

Teal

Loved this course, it was exactly what I needed. Although honestly speaking, I think learning the present moment is what everybody needs, regardless of what kind of animals you work or live with. Absolutely recommend this course!

Fantastic course!
Thank you

I am impressed by the attitude towards animals and the honesty in James’s work. The results of TT without using force, dominance or pressure are beautiful, convincing and very inspiring. Also I appreciate very much your answering my questions. Applying TT , at my own level, makes me feel much better than using all those ways of controlling I learned .
I guess TT is not for everybody, you really need patience. I did watch all videos, I often felt touched , and I am glad I still have access, because I want to see many videos again. I am sure I did miss and forget a lot.
It is not easy to go in that quiet state myself, especially in our ‘regular’ stable environment, but it is rewarding to grow in that field, and to feel more and more trust between my traumatised horse and me. I keep working on it, because I love to do this and we are only beginning.
Thank you for your uplifting work and course!

I started the video coaching course quite some time ago but I've recently started to review, practice and study more intensely. Learning so much and loving every minute of it. I've worked with rescue horse for several therapy programs and The Trust Technique is the ONLY way I will begin and continue a relationship with these horses. My very high thinking terrier loves it too. Thank you James and Shelley.

The unprecedented times we are living through has allowed me to complete the Trust Technique video course and it has been a truly beautiful experience, and I can honestly say, life changing. My initial intention was to help my little dog Nora to find peace, but the journey the course took me on turned the focus onto myself, and opened my eyes to the idea that I needed to be a peaceful teacher to truly help her. I've been lucky enough to have the time in these difficult months to use the Technique for humans to work through so many parts of my personal history and lighten the weight of many intense feelings. I AM that classic case of the adopted person who felt drawn to the little streetdog in the shelter, so we have definitely been sharing our feelings, but without being able to help each other. The Trust Technique has started a wonderful journey for both of us. Since beginning to share all the aspects of it with Nora, I have seen changes in her daily. My nearest and dearest have also remarked on the changes in me! We are beginning a truly special new chapter and I'm beyond delighted that I've been able to watch so many moving moments in the vast selection of videos made available in this course. There really isn't anything as special or as meaningful out there. I could write so much more but, at this stage I just want to Thank you for sharing, for teaching and for giving me the opportunity to learn, such a simple yet intricate way of building relationships. Nora and I are intensely grateful.

What an amazing and inspirational video course this is. James and Shelley what you've put together here is mammoth, I really appreciate all the hours of hard work behind the scenes. Your dedication to animals both wild and domestic is admirable, and to be able to share and teach your skills and knowledge is wonderful. Right from the beginning of this course I knew I was going to really enjoy the whole production. So many emotions, happiness, joy, sadness, wonder, acceptance, gosh it contains them all and more. I certainly recommend this video course to anyone who cares for animals, you'll learn so much and gain such an understanding of all animals, it's awesome.

Great Karma Lessons. Thank you very much!

This is a brilliant course! So loving and so needed by all animal lovers.

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.

I love this way of being with animals. I have found connections with all kinds of wildlife even more then I had before. I am a wildlife certified in wildlife rehab., in Ohio and I spend many months in AZ.. This course I have worked with it on dogs, deer, groundhogs, raccoons, birds and horses. Yes you maybe surprised at some of those wild creatures but they are in my back yard and they have learned to trust me. I can make a tick tick noise with my mouth and a certain ground hog will come running to see what I am doing. Sometimes I just want to see her other times I'll give a treat onto the ground.
I absolutely loved the Asian Bears and all the growth they did and what you found and how it was found in them.
Duke the horse oh my that horse is very loyal in love with his friends. They worked the Trust technique so very well with him.
I love to watch the same videos over and over again, sometimes you miss a little thing or pick up something a tad different. I'm excited to try new things all the time. The videos are very informative and with animals and people it teaches you not to hurry in life to be peace of mind, and get present realize animals all have a past they went through and need to deal with. We need to open our minds slow down and listen. I highly recommend these classes this way of listening and interacting with wild animals but use caution and do know what the animals are capable of. As a wildlife rehab., trainee in my home state I know Ohio wildlife. It was a whole new experience to me two years ago to learn all about wild horses. But I had to I want to support them help groups that rescue them and do anything I can for them and any other animal on this planet.
Id give these videos 5 stars higher if I could and they are so reasonably priced. Have fun learn something new even if you just want to try it on your cat dog and grow close to understanding them. You'll love it James and Shelley are wonderful giving people and I appreciate all they do for so many people all over the world.

Trust Technique came along at a time when my animals were all behaving in a manner that was aggressive.
I have miniature horses as one family of three and the mare was a rescue, whilst the stallion was a purchase from a friend. He is now gelded and been the best dad to his son and they have all lived as a family from the birth of their baby.
Along came an Arctic Dog from a good family but from a couple of other dogs in his family. One is aggressive and caged by law, which breaks my heart. My Arctic was developing deep aggression to my horses and I didn't know how to control his jealousy.
The horses were difficult at feeding time.
The result thus far by using this beautiful technique has been 3 calmer horses not pawing the ground whilst I am feeding, nor bullying as much as the buckets are placed at meal times. The arctic is now accepting that it is their space and is peaceful.
Whilst I haven't finished all the work required, I am daily using these techniques and seeing an incredible difference.

It is also the missing link to an animal communication course I have attended but been unable to complete as I felt there were missing connections for me with the animals. I intend to take this technique further into education as it works in the most serene way possible with results clearly visible. I will also pass this to my Arctics previous family for the caged Bordeaux to be healed and released into a happy life.

The funniest experience I am having with all of this is I keep falling asleep watching all the videos !

This course was very amazing for me. The course was super understandable and the videos very touching.
I would like to study the practitioner course for working with my clients in my healing praxis .
Exactly the piece of the puzzle was missing in my work with Animals and her owners.
Thank you much for this course an this philosophy to live with animals. Thank you from the heart to Shelly and james for sharing this wonderful message.

I am very happy for enrolling on this video course. It is clear and easy explained, touching and eye opening, engaging and deepening the relationship to my 8 horses. For an example, I am trimming the hoofs of my horses myself. I do not bind them to a wall as I like them do express themselves. With the experience from the trust technique I stopp more often, breathe, listen to sounds, get present and continue then i a much more gentle way. The horse relaxes, and I listen so much better like this! I can only recommend this course to anyone wanting to come closer to their animals, understanding them better, understanding myself better and changing my ways into a more harmonic coexistence with our animals.

Just completed the TT video course. Such a wonderful gift to learn the basic foundation for entry way into the spirit. Can't thank James and Shelly enough for all they have helped me with. On this path consciously since 2000, and can't say enough about how helpful James and Shelly and the TT has been for me. Thank you.

I am halfway through the course. I think it’s absolutely amazing. I train horses for a living and everything that James teaches is what I’ve been searching for all my life. He is filling in all the gaps in my beliefs about horses. I am so excited to start seeing what I can achieve with my own horses and I would love to progress to the advanced course. It is worth every penny. What I love about the lessons are there are so many practical videos and it’s not complicated to understand. My 9-year-old daughter is watching it with me and is loving it too

Thank you so much for these videos and this wonderful way of seeing our animal companions, and our relationship with them.
I appreciate deeply the softness and kindness involved in this process. I dream to be part of spreading these values around me. I am very grateful, thank you!

This is an excellent course. I learned so much and love that it works at the animal's pace and is always so gentle and respectful. I've been able to use it on my own animals with wonderful results. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to really understand their animal.

What a remarkable and user friendly video series! I was instantly captivated and hooked. My horses hang for this peace now and the entire farm is a more tranquil place with happy animals who are feeling listened to and understood probably for the first time in their life. THANK YOU James and Shelley.
Debs Carling

The course is very well explained.
I think the system with the groups and forums is very good for exchanging. You have really grandiosely thought out.
Thanks for sharing.

This is the kind of treatment, I would love to see more of. I’m very excited to begin this journey. It FEELS very good. Thank you for what you do.

Dear Shelley and James,
Wonderful to see all this healing happening and often within a small amount of time.
You have created a beautiful technique.
Kind regards
Frans

Just finished the course. I've found it inspiring, moving & extremely interesting. It's helped me to remain positive through some difficult & emotional times. It's great that it's so effective on all animals including humans. I've been practising the technique on my own animals but will look into taking this further. I obviously don't get quite the same results as James & Shelley but practice makes perfect. Such a beautiful thing to offer any animal & I feel this is something I can use in many situations from now on. Thank you so much for sharing your gift xx

The information in this course is riveting. The techniques are simple and everyone can learn them. James and Shelly are changing the world for both animals and humans.

Bless you James French and Shelley. WOW. I am so grateful to have found your training, and I don’t know how I did find you quite a few years ago.
This program Trust-Technique is by far the most beautiful study of animal nature I have ever had the pleasure to being exposed to anywhere In the world.

As a Animal Reiki practitioner here in the United States,, I am familiar with some of this content, but still learned so many important lessons about being present and so much more that is helping me in my personal life and in my professional animal healing life.

PLEASE share with EVERYONE you know that has animal companions or loves animals as part of their personal humanity. You will NOT be sorry, and dear James French, you are the most compassionate, loving, and peaceful human being I have ever had the pleasure to “witness”. Bless you for all you do to educate all of us to take better care of our sentient friends who teach us all about UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

Hei, the longer I look to the video course, the more, I learn about trust technique, the more I am impressed and touched deeply in my heart. Thank you, giving me the opportunity, to make these experiences. I am really glad that I can follow the great work of James, thanks a lot! Irene

Amazing work. Amazing summary of the Trust Technique and years of compassionate work. It is sure a great contribution to peace on our planet we all need so much. I wish schools would teach this. Thank you so much.

As a Animal Reiki professional, I found this course invaluable for additional tips beyond the Animal Reiki training I have had with Kathleen Prasad. These techniques are helpful in my super busy life also, as I have challenges with staying present in my own life. Thankyou James and Shelly for all your do for humanity and our beloved animal kingdom. You are a blessing to all of us.

So incredibly pleased with the couse. So glad I am a lifetime member so I can watch many of them again. Thank you so much for your work with bringing peace to so many animals..and making the processes and teachins available to the public. I cant wait to start my Level 3 course in spring with the expectation of helping animals and humans learn about the Trust Method in my part of the world. Smack in the middle of Canada. This course was so easy to follow and access. Love, love, loved it!
Well Done!!:)

I have just finished the video course and I have been left with so much gratitude to what I have learned from James. This approach is so valuable and important to be spread, it is life changing for humans and for animals. The work of James and Shelley has to be supported wherever possible.

I am really happy, that I found this course. It's breathtaking to do the exercises and watch the videos and I enjoy every minute. Thanks a lot for this great experiance

Excellent information!! James and Shelley teach the information in a very sincere honest manner which shows how passionate they are for helping people and animals. I live in the U.S. and there are ALOT of talented telepathic and nature based spiritual teachers. But they are far more concerned with charging high $$ and stretching the courses out to make as big a profit as they can, than they are for actually helping people learn the skills. Being a great telepathic communicator and energetic healer is only part of the qualification for teaching those skills. Truly caring about your students success, and thereby the welfare of the animals and people your students will help, is what makes you a great teacher of telepathy and energetic healing. The Trust Technique is incredible.

This course is one of the most valuable things I have ever watched in my life. It not only helps me to help my furry friends, it also helps to understand more about who and what we all really are. The sharing of feelings, thoughts and being among all of us, humans, animals, is such an amazing gift. I remind myself daily to share the right feelings with others and not the wrong ones. I love to be able to give more peace to any animal or human, including myself.
James and Shelley and everyone participating: A huge THANK YOU from my part. What you do really changes the world. I wish, everybody would follow the course and live what it teaches.
Lots of love and gratitude for your amazing, kind, wonderful work from
Sabine

I have done the video course 2 times and I learned each time a lot. thank you for the wonderful work you are doing.

I continue to be overwhelmed with awe at the depth and healing potential of this work and the inspired insight of James French. I truly feel it is a genuine light in our world and awakens the spirit of cpmpassion and connection which is so needed now, Dare I say, it could save us all.
The animals have such innate wisdom to teach us if only we have ears to hear and eyes to see. In the video course I am learning that miracles happen in evertday lives and that this peace can be taught and shared between humans and withanimals . I am eternally grateful to have discovered this as it has fullfilled a longing I have had in my heart for as long as I can remember and almost stopped believing in. There is so much amazing content in the videos, tutorials and exercises which are literally changing and healing my life and expanding my sense of faith and hope in a saner and gentler world.
Thank you James and thank you, Shelley for all your hard work and committment to share this work andmake this form of transformation possible for us all. I can't think of anything more valuable I would want to support or be a part of. Thank you!!

Loved this course. Learned a lot about the Trust Techniques as well as how to communicate with animals. In this course I also learned more about myself, and my relationships with animals. I learned more about their culture and how to be respectful when I have the privilege of being in their presence.
Thank you for all the effort and time that you put in to help these incredible beings!

It's hard to put into words. My gratitude and appreciation to have met James & Shelley and part take in continual learning which personally influence my relationships with animals and humans. It involves continuing practice on one's self, bringing the present moment into daily life, not only while together with others, but with one's inner being. This is not a traditional school, James shares his experiences with great dedication to bring awareness to everyone. "I have a dream that animals be treated with mindful regard". Thank you J&S. Cindy, located in Switzerland

For all my life, I dreamed about a deep relationship with a horse. When I bought my horse, it took me another 2 years to really start to listen to him - and all I heard was "no". I read books, I watched videos, I started to understand what I was doing wrong, I listened harder to him, but the " No" only got louder.
Until I started the Video course. For the first time, I feel a tender connection growing between us, and it is one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. James and Shelly, I am so infinitely grateful to you for this amzing gift. I'm still in the middle of the video course and I know what I'm experiencing at the moment is only the beginning, but I now have confidence, that all will be good. My whole life has changed. Thank you.

Amazing, mind blowing and enlightening. The Trust Technique has enabled me to develop a deep connection with my horses. Creating trust, harmony and respect. Thank you.

Beyond belief and so excited to start the course. Thank you for your heart, already a blessing to me.

Thank you so much for sharing your loving. peaceful and respectful course. Its wonderful to teach in this way so humans realise how privileged we are to share our lives with animals.

Where was this 30 years ago? 20 years ago? 10 years ago? The understanding of behavior is huge, the healing potential off the charts, and the outcomes nothing less than stellar! What a colossal blessing you two are for the gift you offering both animals and humanity in general as you close the understanding gap between all creatures everywhere. May we never look back, but only forward to the amazing future that exists through understanding the invisible realm, and knowing others at a level only dreamt of until now. Your dream James is just amazing and thanks a million for bringing this training to the larger audience. We thank you, our animals thank you. What a gift!

The most beautiful thing I have ever being involved in. Thanks James and Shelly for opening my eyes and heart. You have changed my life and my animals. This course is truly amazing and the best thing I have ever done with my life. ???

Loving it so far, relatable to animals and people on so many levels

Fascinating information! So far, I'm loving the course. Thank you for sharing!

James , I just love your approach with animals and to watch you is truly inspirational . I have just watched you working with Delorean and it bought tears to my eyes . Your input was so important to help him to have a peaceful passing - thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences .

Exactly what I needed! Practical and doable. Pure genius, simplified into essential principles & details, with abundant video examples providing an immersive experience where we see, hear, feel and understand what is happening. Inspiring, informative, ground-breaking. It also gives us a way to resolve our own issues so they don't get in the way of helping our animals - now that is valuable all by itself! It's been life changing for me; deeply affirmative, giving a way forward that has heart, soul, and intellect beautifully balanced. A game-changer.

This video course is in fact far more than what I expected. You get a very strong tool on hand to work with your animals. And James is very clear on his instructions and adresses all areas that could cause trouble for the learner. After 8 years of living with a traumatized dog, I finally understand what is going on in her mind and feel that I have found the way how to help her. The changes are slow but there have been some incredible steps forward. My dog is so grateful for the extra time and understanding I now have for her, we have grown together a lot. Thank you so much for sharing the Trust Technique with us.

My animals and I thank you so much for sharing the wonderful gift of the Trust Technique. The tutorials are so well thought out and clear and have instilled me with confidence. The case studies are totally inspirational. This course has enabled me to truly listen to my animals and help them to be peaceful.

Thank you so much out of the depth of my heart. I do have a dream to really connect with my animal family more deeply than I have succeeded up till now. I have tried especially to achieve true Connection with my Icelandic horses but also my dogs and cats. I have practiced mindfulness for riders , am practicing Taiqi for many year and done many courses on horsemanship on true feel,savvy for riders and studied with prominent horsemanship instructors. Nobody has explained and demonstrated like you how I and my animals need to be to be truly connected. I still have a lot of lessons to study and I feel so happy excited and thrilled about what I am now learning. Thank you again so much for sharing these lovely techniques for Being.

Just finished the new Salt River Wildhorse videos which I just received. Nakota, Agave, and Red The Stallion. They were wonderful. I am especially interested in them because I live close to the horses during 6 months of winter and will be attending a SRWHMG Orientation on Feb. 16th hoping to do some volunteer work with them._x000D_
Thank you.

I am going through the videos for the second time and. learn something extra with each one. I am getting closer to my childhood ambition of talking to animals

I wish I could give more stars than just five. What a huge inspiration Shelly and James are. I loved every video and every story, becoming addicted to them. With each story, you fall into the learning journey and want to see how it ends. They demonstrate time and time again how we can give hope and peace to animals. I can't wait to start my practitioners course. Keep the videos coming, I need my fix!

I've taken an age to come onto this brilliant site and begin my lessons. It was over tow years when I traveled from Scotland to spend 1 day with you beautiful and wonderful people. It was a magical day , and so worth the drive.
I'm happy that now I feel is my time to get involved and will watch all videos with enthusiasm, and get to know others who are, as James said, Like minded.
Beautiful and calming introduction to the content of this site.
Thank you James ans Shelly for The Trust Technique.
