I was deeply touched by some things that were said in this introductory course. The past 15 years we have rescued dogs from Spain and Romania, all of them more or less traumatised. James at one point says: "don't be surprised that one day you might be grateful for the problem behavior that your animal is showing you". Yes indeed, each one of our dogs has mirrored parts of me and helped me to heal. It is all about trust. I have taken many courses on communication with animals and consulted with several dog whisperers. It has given me understanding of where the problem behavior of our 12-year old Chica is coming from, but still no clue as to how to help her overcome her extreme fear of cats. I believe that the Trust Technique might be what we have been waiting for the past 10 years.
