Subtitles in Deutsch, Espanol, English and Francais
We have all been conditioned over centuries to believe such things as the boss theory, pressure methods, animals don’t have feelings and that somehow your animal is competing against you. This stems from the judgement of “bad” behaviour which needs correction and reprimand. The problem here is that behaviour is only the outward expression of something else, which is happening on a deeper level and that is how your animal is FEELING.
Either consciously or subconsciously you will be sharing these feelings. It will more than likely be expressed by you as one or as a combination of these emotions. Frustration, anger, worry, guilt, embarrassment, helplessness, despair, anxiety and the list goes on.
This creates a gap between how you truly feel about your animal, the love you have for them and the way you are reacting to them. It is this separation that causes the most pain in the relationship!Â
The key to making fast and long-lasting positive change is to help them let go of fear and build trust and confidence in you and his or her surroundings.
The Trust Technique® is a mindful approach to help your animal and yourself. A simple way to develop a peaceful connection with trust and confidence. By changing the negative feelings you are sharing.
Experience a quantum shift in shared trust, overcome problems in a kind considerate way and develop new inspired levels of co-operation.
The Trust Technique can help all sentient beings with a gently profound non-dominant approach.
It is the perfect way to see the benefits that this method offers and includes practical advice that can be implemented in your relationship straight away.

The Trust Technique has been helping rescue centres since 2009. Project Rescue is our new way to help.
We donate £1500 of courses per rescue centre so that 5 members of staff can learn the Trust Technique to help them help animals in need. We also support their growth with practitioner support.
Included in the rescue centre support is raising funds through the sale of the Introduction course where we donate £5.00 per sale. Helping raise much needed funds. When you purchase this course you are directly helping the rescue centre and learning something incredibly valuable for you and your animals :)
They are the pure essence of the Trust Technique. Describing in great detail what this method is and how this approach can benefit both you and your animals. It is the introduction course and helps you to know if this way of helping is right for you.
We believe that it works with all sentient beings. Not that we have worked with all the different animals on the planet :) We have worked with horses, dogs, cats, lions, bears and numerous types of farm animals.

The Trust Technique was developed to help the sensitive animals that the other approaches have not been able to help. Because the animals’ opinion is fully regarded it means that the animal is not placed in a position to be pressured. This then helps them trust and build confidence in you.

It has been an incredible experience to watch and learn about the trust technique. I am looking forward to learning more and applying the method with all the abandoned and traumatised pets in my own foundation/home shelter.
I am sheltering pets for over 35 years now and communicate with them on the level that James explained that most people do. Tune into their feelings and translate.
That does not come even close to what I experience when I watch James with the lions. I just know that for a particular cat in my home shelter, the method will bring about the level of trust that enables me to groom his coat. I started practising immediately and watching the videos. So many animals that I know would benefit and their lives would be so much better if I can learn to work with them at this level of consciousness.
The method also fits perfectly with my own growth and spiritual development. I am a notorious overthinker. Complex PTSD. Plus acquired brain damage after a stroke when I was only 17. I am now 61. Never in my life, after that stroke, have I felt more at peace than when I first heard James talking. The effect his voice and energy has on me is worth millions for me and I could not be more grateful. I will keep following this course and hope to become a practitioner as well. And hope to meet James and Shelly in person sometime in the future.

This is a beautiful and inspiring course, which has come in a pivotal time in my life where I am looking to change my career to be able to work with animals after a long career in the performing arts. This move was inspired by Didrik my rescue dog from Russia who joined my family of (animals) the summer of 2020. He was a fearful puppy to the extent that if a person was coming down the road towards us he jumped into the nearest ditch or bush shivering all over his body and all I could do was to sit patiently, perhaps also mindfully, sometimes for an hour before he would dare to come out. Learning from him a watching him grow in confidence has been an honour. I truly resonate with the trust technique from my own learning trajectory with Didrik and my dream would be to become a practitioner so I can help humans help their animals. Looking forward to the journey ahead with patience, trust and a peaceful mind.
Thank you so much, James and Shelley
The Messages of Trust is a great way to get a little deeper into the Trust Technique and to see if this is something you would want to learn more of yourself. I sure do, and I am thrilled to be embarking on this journey of helping animals, let alone myself. 😉
One suggestion I have: I would change the wording for part 3 (Learn All The Techniques) to something like “where to go from here?” rather than evoking the expectation to be learning the full technique here, thus creating disappointment.
This is a wonderfully informative course, and will help me no end with my work with animals. I work for a charity Animal Spay and Neuter International, we spay and neuter stray and owned dogs and cats in Romania to reduce the amount of strays on the streets. Periodically we travel to Romania to be apart of mass spay campaigns also. This will also help with my own pets, i lost a dog in december so am rescuing another from Romania next week, this is going to be invaluable to my new pup and myself…and also a stroppy cat that lives with me! I watched all the Messages of Trust videos including your amazing work with Ares…it was just simply mind blowing! I am a buddhist (Engaged Buddhism) so bringing mindfulness to my dog training is just perfect! Thankyou so much James and Shelley! Im unable to afford to do the full course at the moment but hope to in the future!
It was so emotional for me to watch the Messages of Trust. We are looking already for so long how we can help our dog. While watching the Messages I had the feeling my dog is understanding what kind of message it is. Can’t await to start the Video Course. Thank you for your wonderful work!
I’ve been practicing quieting my mind with my cat and it works. Excited to take it further. He’s aggressive towards our other cat so we have to keep them separated. Hoping it will help improve their relationship. The other cat has congestive heart failure and needs to feel safe and secure.
