This course is indeed a life changing one. I came to this course to help my rescued greyhound Lucy with her reactivity to other dogs. The Trust Technique is a wonderful way of working with your animals and thanks to the easy to follow instructions and so many beautiful examples of working with all kinds of animals, starting with dogs ending with sun bears in south east Asia, it is quite easy to learn. But the result of doing the Trust Technique might be surprising. As I said I started the Video Course to help my reactive greyhound. During our Journey I realised that I too had some deeply buried issues, which caused problems, too. So, I did the Trust Technique for people, it is kind of a challenging part, cause I had to face which I always had ignored or buried. But in the end I did it. It's like opening old wounds but only after clearing that out, I was able to find peace with myself and in the end get better helping my greyhound find peace too. I finished the video course, but my greyhound and I are by no means at the end of our journey to fully feel peaceful. For me it's a journey, which takes time. But it's actually a wonderful journey were the "path truly is the goal".
Thank you James and Shelley for bringing the Trust Technique in to the world. And thanks to all the people of Trust Technique Community and Administration for spreading the Technique wide and far. As I live in Germany I might never heard of the Trust Technique if you don't advertise for it worldwide. Thanks to everyone involved.

I’m truly grateful for the video course and the hard work of everyone involved in bringing it to life. I deeply appreciate every aspect of it, as I have gained so much valuable knowledge—not only about enhancing the relationship with my dog to help her dealing with fear, but also about myself. This experience has been incredibly enriching, thank you so much.

Meine Hunde und ich sind tiefer verbunden als je zuvor. Vorallem meine sensible Hündin Shana verstehe ich jetzt viel besser. Sie hat Trust angewendet, bevor ich Trust näher kannte. Sie kommuniziert zuerst nur energetisch mit Hunden, die sie nicht kennt. Bevor sie mit ihnen in physischen Kontakt geht, wird sie genau so präsent, wie James das lehrt und wenn der andere Hund in seinem friedvollen Sein angelangt ist, dann ist sie bereit zu agieren. Ihre Art dies zu tun, hilft jedoch nicht nur dem andern Hund, sondern auch ihr selber, mir und der ganzen Gruppe. Vorher, als ich das nicht spürte, war Shana oft sehr heftig in ersten Begegnungen, weil sie die Unruhe um sich herum aufnahm und körperlich entlud.
So hat sie mich inspiriert, den Praktiker zu absolvieren und ihr mein volles Vertrauen zu schenken.

My dogs and I are more deeply connected than ever before. I now understand my sensitive dog Shana much better. She used Trust before I knew Trust. At first she only communicates energetically with dogs she doesn't know. Before she makes physical contact with them, she becomes present in exactly the same way as James teaches and when the other dog has reached its peaceful state, then she is ready to act. Her way of doing this not only helps the other dog, but also herself, me and the whole group. Before, when I didn't feel it, Shana was often very violent in the first encounters because she absorbed the unrest around her and released it physically.
So she inspired me to complete the practitioner course and put my full trust in her.

I loved your course and I believe it has helped me calm my dog (during storms and loud noises)this is a work in progress. I wanted to do your course so it would make me more confident when I started volunteering at my local RSPCA. I feel more calm in my self as well, so I`ll see how I go as I started today. Thank you so much. I`m in the process in starting the course again..........

Hello, I have two Arabian horses: Jassir, 7 years old and Takhira, 9 years old and a dog, Luna 8 years old. After training them together with a riding instructor, I realised that Takhira remained quite skittish and that Jassir would bite if he was upset or under pressure. I got to know TT at the beginning of 2024 and did the online course. The most impressive experience was when a mouse joined me and the horses at the present moment. From then on, I was convinced that TT also worked for me. I have been meditating for myself every day since then and have been using TT regularly with the horses over the last few weeks while I finished the course. I and my animals have more self-confidence, Takhira has lost her jumpiness and Jassir has lost most of his biting behaviour. I feel their emotions and listen to them more often and earlier thanks to TT, so that I react with calm instead of pressure. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this course, which I can recommend to everyone. Beate from Malvaglia, Switzerland
