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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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. *************

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.
