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,

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.

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.

Transformational! Not only for animals but also for me!

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.

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
