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 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!

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.

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.

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 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 ????
