Fantastic and a very inspirational video course. Very different and great examples.
I have already learnt a lot for myself from the content of the course and is it so lovely to see the reaction from my dog Mr. Nero; how he can learn in his own pace. What a delicate technique to create a deep bound between a human and an animal based on trust and peace. Genuinely excellent. James and Shelly are absolutly inspirational for me. Thank you so much for your great work around the whole world. I have just finished the Trust Technique Video Course and I am looking forward to start the Crossfields Institute Level 3 Diploma in Mindfulness for People with their Animals.

This video course is truly amazing. I am experiencing a lot of peace myself and my dog is asking for more a lot of the time. Bruno is 14 and getting fragile now. He is a fully trained guide dog and therefore very focused on me. He has cared for me when I have been poorly and now he needs me to focus on him. Thank you for sharing your skills and understanding with these student friendly sessions. I am not blind but pretty old now and this course is a joy for us both. Lots of people have noticed how connected we are and how Bruno asks for peace sessions and how refreshed we both are after we have been present. Thank you guys I am well into this course and will share with others as much as possible. Annie Larner

Getting back one animal's trust into humans and into life is not easy. But James does it very quickly with the Trust technique. I wish I had more time to go forward with the course and practice with my cat .... and myself!

I love The Trust Technique course: James's calmness and love for animals is inspiring. He is one example for all those who want to help once abused animals to get to the happy life they deserve.

Thank you again, James and Shelley, for this course which I would recommend to anyone as a therapy for animals and also for humans. And thank you for what you are doing for animals.

James and Shelley and The Trust Technique are people who are totally trustworthy; and the techniques they have developed and are teaching fill my soul with hope for animals and their future experiences with humans who have taken on board what the Trust Technique reveals and teaches. At last - animal-human interactions based on peace and respect. Thank you from this very grateful Australian.

Hi there,
it´s a lot to say about the Trust Techique. And it´s all positive :-)))
First of all, what I really love is that it is ever so gentle and kind for the animal as well as the human. As James phrases it: Where peace arrives the unpeace has to leave, so if the human is offering the present moment, he is becoming peacefull himself and that already does a lot of good....

Secondary it´s that James deliver´s a feeling towards the animal. If he is proud of an animal you actually can feel the pride across a camera onto your Laptop, and see how much this does for the animal. This truly feeling a feeling instead of just talking about a feeling.

Next is that he does differentiate between sympathy ( feeling sorry for ) as a no-no and empathy (feeling with), which for me is quite exceptional and totally necessary for healing.

Offering the peace of mind in this mindfull regarding way makes it even gentler and opens the space for easy learning for the animal and again for the human as well.

Last but not least the Trust Technique is so easy and effortessly to learn, that everyone is able to do so and.... change the world to the better :-))))
