What a journey!
I started the TT VideoCourse to help my dog who had a lot of issues and It worked more than I expected. She is now more relaxed, connected and learned a lot: to walk in the city without barking at bikes, cars and buses, to sleep at night without needing to be in charge and control of all the neighbourhood, Gosh it’s so good to sleep all night without any barking! And son on… But the best is our relationship which is deeper, trustfully and cooperative. We’re still learning and progressing together.
And for me, it is a new way to be deeply connected to nature and all the living beings and opened to new perspectives. Thank you so much!

What an extraordinary program! The video course demonstrates the Trust Technique in action with such a variety of animals in different situations. You can see for yourself that it works and how it works. I am a pet sitter and I have used the TT with the animals in my care. I have seen both quick results and how over time animals associate peace of mind with me. The depth of relationship you can build with an animal with the TT is limitless. I have always had great respect and love for animals. The TT has deepened both for me.

I have been using the trust technique with the four cats and twelve goats of my landlady. The cats have become very trusting and I have become close friends with one of them, the mother of the other three. In the beginning, she was very jumpy and would attack me if I touched her tail or other sensitive areas of her body. This behaviour has completely disappeared and she is very trusting by now, lying on my chest with her face next to my face, purring like a small engine and eating out of my plate, if she gets a chance. With the goats, I used the trust technique on several occasions, for instance when the young billy goat got castrated and was in great pain for over a week I used reiki and got present with him. I used it with the female goats during their pregnancies/deliveries and with the 7 baby goats to put them all to sleep. It was all very touching, as they would climb all over me and fall asleep on my lap as small children would. The trust I could build with all of them really helps also in everyday situations, when an animal gets stuck somewhere and I need to help to free them, they know that I'm here to help and won't hurt them. All of the goats are very tender and love being groomed or cuddled and they show exactly where they want to be petted and scratched. Unfortunately, my landlady brought the five male baby goats to the butcher before they were coming of age. This was rather heartbreaking for me and I told her that I don't want to be part of that in any way.

I have loved learning through watching the Trust Technique video course. I have practiced quite a lot on my own horses and found it to be not just beneficial for my horses but for me. I have 3 rescue horses, each with their own issues. Charlie was starved and didn’t enjoy being with people, he will do anything for you now and my 16yo daughter has backed him using only a rope halter and lead. He will make an excellent Therapy horse to go on to help adults and children with their issues.

Spud came to me as a project pony after he suffered a traumatic experience. He was a very angry pony, you could not touch him without him wanting to bite you. I used the TT and after a week he finally laid down and went into the deep sleep and released all his tension. All without touching! This was so very rewarding. The next day he was cured of biting and is working towards being ready to teach kids again.

My other horse Roxy was left to a guy in a will, he didn’t really want her but obviously felt obligated to look after her. He kept her with his sheep and fed her lots of oats and Lucerne hay in order to move her between grassy paddocks.
She is only 6 and looked more like a quarter horse than a stock horse because of her excess weight.
Her temperament has softened by using the TT and is now much more willing to co-operate without the use of food and is now a beautiful horse to be around.

Thank you for giving me the tools to be so in control of my feelings and to help my horses control theirs too and let go of past traumatic experiences and be happy again 🙂

I'm still learning, but I was already able to use the Trust Technique with my 2.5 yr dog, a green horse I'm working with, and neighbours' puppies (we teamed up with my dog working on them, she may be learning the TT faster than I can!))) It was truly an eye-opener. Some elements of this can be found in the teachings and techniques of the best dog and horse trainers - perhaps arrived at intuitively; but James was able to actually make a comprehensive system, explain why and how it works, and create highly effective practical guidance. This makes this technique so effective and universal. It also allows one to sort through methods and techniques one has been taught before learning this or may encounter later - and remove counterproductive elements that often inhibit growth and progress. This course is truly amazing and I would recommend it to everyone who is looking to progress beyond fixed prescriptive training methods, build trust and communication with their animal, build self-awareness and work on advanced forms of cooperative interaction. I would like to mention that many elements of TT also work well with small children who are not yet relying on verbal communication. I've also noticed that I'm now changing my communication with adults as well, recognizing a very important component of non-verbal communication between humans.
