I have been very privileged to have exposed to the Trust Technique. I was taking the course for my senior cat, Woody, with multiple health problems. He was an outdoor and indoor cat. I had evenings to introduce him to the Trust Technique, and he would always curl-up to sleep on his scratch pad, after lots of brushing. Over time, he seemed to want generally desire more company from me. He had to have his tail washed daily, as his sebaceous glands required 'squeezing'. We used butter as his reward. Usually he would run away quickly, afterwards, but after working with the Technique, he would stay and have a body scrub.
He was doing very well, taking all his medications, when one Saturday morning, his hind legs became paralyzed. He was in a lot of pain, and we sadly had him euthanized two weeks shy of his 17th year. He was so distressed with the pain and the journey to the vet, that he was panting, and I was unable to calm him at that time. However, I feel that he benefited from the Technique with the short time I had to work with him and for that I am so grateful.
I have thoroughly enjoyed all the teachings and videos, and constantly wish I had been exposed to this many years ago. However, every time I listen to the teachings and watch the videos, my heart has been touched with the beauty, sensitivity, patience and insight that James brings to animals in distress to enable them and their owners to work together as a team. The Trust Technique is compassion in action.

I have enjoyed every minute of this course from start to finish, it's such a simple teqnique and the kindest way to help an animal to learn, it's also very beneficial to humans as well by helping you to work through some of the thoughts that may be blocking you and creating a lovely connection with an animal.
I've learnt such alot about why animals behave the way they do and how they think. Thank you so much for giving us the Trust Technique.

I love this way of being with animals. I have found connections with all kinds of wildlife even more then I had before. I am a wildlife certified in wildlife rehab., in Ohio and I spend many months in AZ.. This course I have worked with it on dogs, deer, groundhogs, raccoons, birds and horses. Yes you maybe surprised at some of those wild creatures but they are in my back yard and they have learned to trust me. I can make a tick tick noise with my mouth and a certain ground hog will come running to see what I am doing. Sometimes I just want to see her other times I'll give a treat onto the ground.
I absolutely loved the Asian Bears and all the growth they did and what you found and how it was found in them.
Duke the horse oh my that horse is very loyal in love with his friends. They worked the Trust technique so very well with him.
I love to watch the same videos over and over again, sometimes you miss a little thing or pick up something a tad different. I'm excited to try new things all the time. The videos are very informative and with animals and people it teaches you not to hurry in life to be peace of mind, and get present realize animals all have a past they went through and need to deal with. We need to open our minds slow down and listen. I highly recommend these classes this way of listening and interacting with wild animals but use caution and do know what the animals are capable of. As a wildlife rehab., trainee in my home state I know Ohio wildlife. It was a whole new experience to me two years ago to learn all about wild horses. But I had to I want to support them help groups that rescue them and do anything I can for them and any other animal on this planet.
Id give these videos 5 stars higher if I could and they are so reasonably priced. Have fun learn something new even if you just want to try it on your cat dog and grow close to understanding them. You'll love it James and Shelley are wonderful giving people and I appreciate all they do for so many people all over the world.

Trust Technique came along at a time when my animals were all behaving in a manner that was aggressive.
I have miniature horses as one family of three and the mare was a rescue, whilst the stallion was a purchase from a friend. He is now gelded and been the best dad to his son and they have all lived as a family from the birth of their baby.
Along came an Arctic Dog from a good family but from a couple of other dogs in his family. One is aggressive and caged by law, which breaks my heart. My Arctic was developing deep aggression to my horses and I didn't know how to control his jealousy.
The horses were difficult at feeding time.
The result thus far by using this beautiful technique has been 3 calmer horses not pawing the ground whilst I am feeding, nor bullying as much as the buckets are placed at meal times. The arctic is now accepting that it is their space and is peaceful.
Whilst I haven't finished all the work required, I am daily using these techniques and seeing an incredible difference.

It is also the missing link to an animal communication course I have attended but been unable to complete as I felt there were missing connections for me with the animals. I intend to take this technique further into education as it works in the most serene way possible with results clearly visible. I will also pass this to my Arctics previous family for the caged Bordeaux to be healed and released into a happy life.

The funniest experience I am having with all of this is I keep falling asleep watching all the videos !

This course was very amazing for me. The course was super understandable and the videos very touching.
I would like to study the practitioner course for working with my clients in my healing praxis .
Exactly the piece of the puzzle was missing in my work with Animals and her owners.
Thank you much for this course an this philosophy to live with animals. Thank you from the heart to Shelly and james for sharing this wonderful message.
