So many have already said what I also feel. Still, I want to say: I am so, so grateful that you and this technique exist. I’m thankful for the loving way you share your technique, and most of all, I’m grateful for all the animals that are better off thanks to your help. Every morning, I wish for many miracles to help the animals, and I always picture James freeing that young wild horse from its too-tight halter, with his friend also feeling such relief that help has come. So once again: thank you, Shelley & James??

Dear Shelley & James
I was just rewatching the video course the second time and I think I will just start over again. It makes me feel so good and I am learning so much I am awed.

The way to work with animals on such a deep level from heart to heart is just amazing. I am using the trust for myself on a daily base to work with animals their humans and my animals and it changed my whole life. I think the time is right for some new understanding between humans, animals and nature and Shelley and James are touching my heart. It feels like finally coming home, being understood and finding my missing piece.

I am also thankful for all the animals in my life who brought me an this path they where an are great teachers especially Camillo who brought me to the trust technique . We are still on our way to trust in trust.

Much love Guzi

It has been a beautiful experience to use the Trust Technique with Odin, the horse. He's gone from being a horse that runs away at the site of a human to a horse that engages and responds with more confidence. His confidence grew enough that he was able to walk from his pen enclosure, through a dark scary barn for the first time, to find his way into his very own field (aptly renamed for him; The Field Of Life). He beautifully and confidently introduced himself to his new neighbors and even groomed the girl, Shadowfax, next store.
Bearfoot Ranch is so very grateful for the Trust Technique, it has been a life changing experience for both the practitioners and Odin.
We will be forever grateful.

I was captivated by the Trust Technique, how simple it is although not at all easy. I enjoyed working through all the videos while working with my own animals. I have noticed significant changes in my animals behaviours, particularly my dog.
It has taken me to a new, deeper level of being present and mindful. Peace has become my mantra.
I have gotten so much out of this that I definitely want to follow the practitioner path and will sign up for it soon.
Thank you James and Shelley for your beautiful work.

Lieber James, liebe Shelley, liebes TT-Team!
Danke für diesen wunderbaren Kurs und eure so wertvolle Arbeit! Jeder, der mit Tieren oder auch Menschen arbeitet , sollte diese Methode kennenlernen. In ihr steckt ein unglaubliches Potenzial die Welt für Tiere und Menschen zu einem friedlicheren Ort zu machen.
Für mich persönlich ist es eine große Bereicherung James bei der Arbeit zusehen zu dürfen, da es mich sehr in meiner eigenen Art und Weise Tieren zu begegnen bestärkt. Ich finde es sehr hilfreich zu sehen, dass auch bei James die Tiere nicht wie auf Knopfdruck friedlich sind, sondern erst die Kombination aus Frieden/Präsens, Geduld und Ausdauer den Erfolg bringt.
Ich werde den Kurs jetzt nochmal neu starten und arbeite gleichzeitig an meinen Englischkenntnissen (und Ersparnissen), um irgendwann vielleicht die Weiterbildung zum Practitioner machen zu können...
Herzliche Grüße Barbara

Dear James, dear Shelley, dear TT team!

Thank you for this wonderful course and your valuable work! Everyone who works with animals or people should get to know this method. It has incredible potential to make the world a more peaceful place for animals and people.

For me personally, it is a great enrichment to be able to watch James at work, as it really encourages me in my own way of dealing with animals. I find it very helpful to see that with James, too, the animals are not peaceful at the push of a button, but that only the combination of peace/presence, patience and perseverance brings success.

I will now start the course again and at the same time work on my English skills (and savings) so that I can perhaps do the further training to become a practitioner at some point...

Kind regards, Barbara

This course really opens the soul to view the inside of an individual's life, both animal and human. It reminds me how important it is to slow down, breathe, empty, and tune into the present moment. All the consultations support the same process of listening and tuning into the Now. The individual cases with their unique personalities, relationships, and situations illustrate how universally applicable the Trust Technique is.

The scope and number of sessions is truly expansive. The access to James' insights and strategy in a step by step process is truly educational. I found myself participating in many of the cases, focusing on a spot, watching the events on the screen, and using the footage simultaneously as education and inspiration.

Along the lines of inspiration, I want to say that the energy James and Shelley embody and transmit throughout the filmed sessions is illuminating and transforming. Watching each session is highly kin to engaging in actual meditation. The effects are healing in every moment.

I have learned specific strategies to calm and focus myself and my dog. The program hones and reemphasizes the simple, profound act of surrendering to the moment and receiving its gifts of sensitive awareness to the environment and its inhabitants. Because I am so deeply conditioned to race anywhere outside the stillness of now, I need continuous reinforcement to retrain my mind to the more peace-oriented state. The Trust-Technique course allows me to begin at the beginning from the first to the last video. Its message is timelessly valuable not only in relation to others, but as importantly, to myself.

Bless all of you who contributed to this masterful display of the numerous possibilities available to those of us who will simply slow down and allow this beautiful healing process to occur.

Thank you for coloring my world with love!

With enriched gratitude,

I appreciate everyone on the TT team especially James and Shelly for this great course. It's a course that has transformed my mental health and that of my animal, including behaviours, understanding of animals, and building a strong bond with animals. And has helped me built an incredible relationships with humans and animals in a way never seen or heard before. Having a peaceful relationship with beings is non-negotiable, that is why I recommend this course to anyone who wants to have a great relationship with himself, animals or even people. This course is the real deal, therefore get it at all cost.

Thank you Shelly, thank you James!
The TT course is part of a journey that I began a few years ago as a Master Reiki Operator Animals and Plants.
My Reiki practice with animals (and also with trees!!) has improved a lot, it has given me tools to deepen the connection that I can have with other beings and how to use peace of mind for healing processes. Patience, Perseverance and Peace of mind have become "my three golden P".
I asked the universe to have the tools to access the professional TT course. I await an answer and in my soul deep down I know that we will see each other again.
This is my life and this is what Simona is.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

First of all I would like to say thank you, James, Shelly and all people involved in putting this great course together. Its now been 3 years that I found this course right in a time when my two dogs where in the last weeks of their lifes and it was a very hard time for me. Ever since I have dogs and also for my llamas ( who have also passed meanwhile) I have been looking for an approach with no pressure, and at least I found the TT. As a medical doctor and hypnotherapist I recognized a lot elements which I use in the therapeutic setting with humans and I am so glad, there is a way to let animals also benefit through mental healing.
I worked through the Videocourse several times, always finding somthing new. Thank you for this profounding explenations!

For me the TT is the most meaningful approach for the contact with animals. I have dogs since the year 2000 and had llamas for nearly two decades and have been looking ever since for "methodes" to communicate with my animals in a gentle way. The most important point for me is the listening to the animal. As in humans, when you are realy listened to, you feel safe. I had never thought there is a similar approach for the contact with animals. Thank you so much, James and Shelly!

Thank you so much for this course! It has truly changed how I interact with my animals and built a more positive and trusting relationship. By following the techniques, I was able to get immediate results with my dogs and horses. And it just gets better and better with practice. I'm forever grateful for these videos and your teaching.

Thank you so much for this truly beautiful course. I was desperately trying to calm down and train my lively young terrier, Wilf, and had tried so many different things . I am a first time dog owner and wanted to get things right. I must have been putting so much pressure on him!
This course has definitely opened a communication channel between us. I’ve still a long way to go but Wilf is very quick to let me know when I’ve pushed him too much. A big area of success has been on the grooming table. He had been fairly comfortable with me grooming him before but now I can ask him to turn over for me or relax down. I am even making progress with the nail clippers. I genuinely get the feeling that he appreciates me taking the time to listen to him.
I feel our bond growing stronger and I’m so grateful that I found your course. I hope to become a practitioner to develop a deeper understanding and be able to share this gentle technique with others.

Ik ben anders gaan kijken naar het trainen van honden/dieren. Ik heb hier veel aan gehad. Ik ga zeker verder hiermee.

I started looking at training dogs/animals differently. This has helped me a lot. I will definitely continue with this.

I can't thank you enough. I love this beautiful, simple effective technique. It has not only deepened my relationship with my beloved "animals", but has been the anxiety therapy that I have been looking for for a very long time! I LOVE the present moment ?.

I have found this course truly inspiration. I am actually quite sad I have got to the end of this course. Over the time of watching each video I have wondered with the behaviour of the animal how James would be able to get the animal on board to make any change in behaviour. The videos I have watched show just how powerful this technique is with even the most reluctant individual and how with the Three main parts Patience, Persistence and Peace that change is possible. Watching the progress of each animal is truly amazing. I have enjoyed watching the videos where James works with the owners to enhance their interaction with their animals and the change there too is awe spiring. I love the gentle and in depth explanation of what James is doing with his sessions.
Totally so easy to follow. I have so enjoyed this course and am keen to progress to the next one of Practitioner.

The course was absolutely brilliant. It has significantly deepened my relationship with animals, especially my pets. This experience has fueled my desire to work exclusively with animals, and I am now eager to pursue further education in the Trust Technique.

James French, the instructor, provided excellent explanations in all the videos, making the learning process both enjoyable and insightful. I am incredibly grateful to have learned this technique, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their connection with animals.

Overall, this course has been a transformative journey, and I look forward to continuing my education in this field.

The video course is Life changing and enhancing for myself and all the other beings I am grateful to have in my life.
James and Shelly you are inspirational and your grace and love shines through, also thank you to the TT team behind the scenes.

I am so looking forward to starting the Practitioner course in June.

This course has taken about 5 months to complete. It has been one of the most profound learnings of working with animals that I have ever taken, Animal Reiki being another. I started grooming a new horse (to me) in January. Her guardian was concerned she was unhappy as she’d had a difficult past and her last owner of 6 years couldn’t keep her any longer. She’s about 14. What this course has taught me is to be patient &, persistent in being peaceful with myself and her. I no longer put pressure on her to meet my expectations- I just keep using the present moment technique and hope for a breakthrough of her trusting me, and me trusting her. I truly wish every animal guardian, or anyone responsible for an animal’s well being knew about this modality. It even works in personal relationships. I am beyond grateful to James & Shelley and everyone involved in getting this teaching out there.

The Trust Technique is one of the best things I have learned in my life. I am a Reiki teacher and Theta Healing practitioner. While those modalities are great within themselves or in combination, I always felt something was missing. Now I found the missing PEACE!
For 30 years, I have had animals and have been involved in rescuing cats, dogs, and wildlife. I wish I had known what I now know earlier. (...)
As a next step, I would like to take the practitioner course. (...)
James, Shelly, and the rest of the team, thank you so much for putting that course together. I can only imagine the work and hours that went into painstakingly cutting and editing the footage, putting together the course, and breaking everything down into small, comprehensible steps for us to learn. I think I'll start the course all over again ….
Much Love and Light

Hi my name is Kim, I am a riding instructor and immediately started using the trust technique with my lesson horses. One in particular had started spooking with riders who were hesitant(which most beginners are). I think the hesitation feeling made the horse so uncomfortable it caused him to bolt, the last thing you need with a horse that gives lessons. I started his retraining with what I had learned in the course even though I had just started the course. The horse quickly learned how nice it felt and it would only take seconds for him to go into present moment. I would even use present moment when I was riding if I felt tension in him. Stetson, the horse, is back to giving lessons and if he gets nervous we do a bit of present moment and go on with the lesson. I don't think without Trust Technique I could have gotten Stetson safe enough to let beginners work with him like I have. I am truly amazed how this technique calmed this horse down. This course is a game changer for my lesson and training program! Sincerely Kim
