My overall opinion is there is a wide range of experiences demonstrated, with good narrative to follow the concepts step by step through the 3 principles. This has provided a good demonstration of the technique to practice with confidence. If you can couple that with other techniques or theoretical understanding, eg. Meditation, mindfulness, hypnosis, psychotherapy, Reiki, natural horsemanship, Trust technique brings a greater depth to your interactions with horses and sets a beautiful pathway for sentient relationships. I was brought to tears by many stories shown in these videos and reminded of many similar stories from horses in my lifetime. Although I have been fortunate to have worked predominantly in this way with horses, I can think of many rushed moments with horses that have ended in frustration and regret. To quote a great horseman ' give a task an hour and it will take 10 minutes, give a task 10 mins and it will take an hour' The joy of working with your own horses first in this practice is you soon find you can enter a peaceful state within a couple of breaths. The healing power of breath is amazing. Peace and Release. Namaste.

Hello James & Shelley,
I was very, very impressed with your video course. Simple to use and easily understandable material. Well formatted, beautiful videos, well explained tuition section, lovely music, and especially the enormous amount of information and footage. I can see how you both put your heart and Soul into developing not just this method over so many years, but also into the teaching it via this course to others. There is a real positive vibe in your delivery, the lay-out of the page design and the logistics as to how to handle it, as well as the accessibility to personal help via chats, your swift responses and amusing language (such as the Harry Potter theme of the owl messenger in your automatic email response :)). In addition, James himself is a wonderful role model with his calm demeanour and loving personality.
I would also like to comment on the amount of video footage for so many different animals in this course, which is only meant for members and their own pets at home. Admittedly, I am surprised about the extensiveness of the material you offer just for your own personal use. It does have a rather professional training level feel to it (for instance the percentage of completion part). I could imagine, people who just want to work with their own animals, might not feel drawn to study the course in such detail about other animals or learn about how to conduct consultations. Very, very helpful and exciting for members such as me, who have decided to pursue a professional career in this beautiful method as a certified practitioner. For the ones who are not, a smaller package (but bigger than the "Messages of Trust") might be more suitable and also affordable.
For me, this course experience was fantastic, because it was exactly what I was looking for in my life at this time. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am very much looking forward to go all in with the professional training in June this year.

Working with the Trust Technique has helped me to work with and understand animals in a new way. I am have recently graduated as an animal healer and am very excited to be going on to study the practitioner course with James and Shelley. I know that the Trust Technique will help me to be able to help so many more animals and guardians. The depth of information here is incredible. It truly feels like these videos not only teach you how to do the technique but they support you and give you confidence to be able to do it well. It has already helped me to help my animals (cats, dogs, horses) to be able to find peace with situations that were causing them anxiety. To be able to help them in this peaceful and profound way is such a gift. Thank you!

This course has helped me to learn a new way of relating to and helping to heal my animals. The variety of situations that are covered in the course is hugely helpful in gaining insight and information as to how to help different animals and people in different scenarios. The information is given in a clear, relaxing and understandable way which lends comfort and support and helps you to feel that you can really do this and make a difference for so many. I have enjoyed using the videos to help me work through different situations with my various animals. To be able to help them find peace with situations that were causing them stress has been a huge gift to us all. Thank you.

I wonder, if it is possible that James French is a modern day "Saint Francis of Assisi (patron saint of animals)".

If I had to describe the course in one word "paradoxical" So simple, yet, miraculously profound!!

If "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.", then The Trust Technique scratches the surface of heaven!

On a practical note, the video course is clear and concise. The support is super, and the price is more than fair!

Much Gratitude and Warmth to James French and his team!!
Many Blessings,
