Thank you James and Shelley for this incredible course! It has taken me on an amazing and incredible journey, and I've been amazed at how animals respond. The Trust Technique (TT) is a revolutionary Technique years if not decades ahead of its time! Not only that, the principles are delivered in a clear and organized way, and the learning is incredible. I look forward to taking the Practitioner course, and to the time when I can bring peace of mind and healing to animals as a TT Practitioner.

James, you are right about this being the future for animal communication and training. It's difficult to imagine any other way, after seeing how efficient the Trust Technique is for communicating with animals. After Trying it with my animals and seeing how well they respond to it, I realise that any change has to be done at the animal's pace. For example, my dogs are very sensitive to having anything done to their paws and ears. However, by using Mindful Regard I was allowed to touch all paws and ears. That is a great start for them.
Like many other dog trainers, I have always had a thing for animals, particularly dogs. Some people call it an affinity, but no one really knows what the thing is. However, you've come along and took this thing and explored it; researched it; tested it; applied it and most importantly, gave the thing a name: The Trust Technique. Well done! I am definitely looking forward to being a practitioner.

I stumbled upon a commercial of the TT on youtube and was caught by it from the very first moment. I have a 17 year old Haflinger horse Anton whom I have since he was 6 months and I rescued him from the butcher. I also have a little sweet and wild cat Lilli that was found on the street by her previous owner. So I that there are some matters I would love to do the TT with both of my animals. And I started with Lilli the cat. As she had wild reactions and scratched me all over. Not because she was mean no, she was happy but over active and didn't know how to handle her energy as she was found as a baby without mom. And the more I did with present moment and mindful regard the better it was. And now she can play with me very wild still but she doesn't pull her claws any more. She is nice and soft with me.
Also my horse Anton. I did train him to lift his legs gently since he was a baby. But he love to pull the front legs away whilst I like to clean them or when the barefoot trimmer works on it. So I also did TT almost every time when I was with him, means between 4-5 days a week and I did TT first as James says in his peaceful place and then slowly I started in the cleaning area. I also told my barefoot trimmer what to do and we tried sometimes to chit chat next to Anton. Well he didn´t like that so I just told her not to speak with me whilst I do the TT next to her and Anton came down to level 2 I would say most of the time and she could do the hoof without any problem. And we are still keeping progress on that and other things I would like to work better in trust.
What can I say, I am just so impressed of what you and Shelly do with animals to help them and the owner. I can´t find words, it is a deep feeling that also helps me with the TT for humans. I want to thank you for that. Thank you for sneaking into my land my animals life. And I am looking forward starting with the coming up practitioner course. Thanks from my heart to you and your team too. You do a wonderful job for animals and humans. Best Christiane, Anton and Lilli

The Trust Technique is the most beautiful and fulfilling Way of being together with and teaching Animals I have ever come to know. I am so grateful that you,James and Shelly, made it possible that we all can learn and benefit from your truly wonderful work. It is so full with Joy and Love, it is fair and peaceful and just everything i was looking for❤️Thanks to my lovely Dog Fina i found you and the Trust Technique. We still have some Issues to solve, she came to me with a huge Bundle of it and some of them we even share ???? So we both can heal and trust in Life again. Also my Pony's love those Sessions with me, now it is not only treats and food that make me interesting for them but even more so the peace of Mind we share. The Trust Technique has changed my view upon life and it is clear to me that i want to stay on this path. If i fulfill the requirements I would love to enrol in the Trust Technique Practitioner Course. What could be better and more fulfilling than help the Animals and their humans? Bless you all, Peace and Love shall be with you❤️

This is exactly the approach I was looking for to use my gift with dogs to help animals and their owners live a more compassionate and fulfilling life together. It is a good complement to my reiki training for animals and I cannot wait to complete my practitioner level to be able to help as many animals and owners in a kind, compassionate and respectful way. Thank you a thousand times!
