Dear Shelley and James, what a wonderful course you have created. To be able to show a very sensitive soul like me and my 15 year old poodle how to find peace in the word is a very beautiful gift. I have no words to thank you so I have made this painting : ]

Danke für Deine Beharrlichkeit, lieber James! Ich war nicht sehr entschlossen, diesen Kurs zu buchen aber habe es schließlich doch getan. Und wahrhaft, er ist jeden Pfennig wert. Die Videos habe ich geradezu verschlungen und gleich ausprobiert, wie es mit meinem Hund, Ragnar, funktioniert. Auf einmal wurde mir klar, dass ich meinen Hund bisher überhaupt nicht verstanden habe. Stattdessen hatte ich nur die, immer ähnlichen, Empfehlungen von all den anderen Hundetrainern im Kopf. Nun ist eine Beziehung zu meinem Hund entstanden, wie ich sie mir nicht hätte vorstellen können. Danke für dieses wertvolle Wissen und diesen Frieden, den mir das gebracht hat. Und quasi nebenbei: Ich selbst bin deutlich friedvoller und zufriedener! Ich hoffe, dass noch viele andere Menschen diesen Kurs buchen! Es trägt zum Weltfrieden bei und zu Eurem Eigenen...

I have been working energetically with 2 leggeds for 33 years.
This course is taking me to a consistently higher and deeper level.
I am taking the course very slowly to really allow myself to absorb what I am feeling
And how to truly absorb and be with it and I with my dog.,
We are progressing slowly and deeply.

I feel totally privileged to have found this way of working with animals. Thank you so much to James French for being such and excellent and patient teacher and all the other people and animals involved that have played their part in explaining, showing and sharing how it all works in so many different environments and circumstances. I have concentrated on using the trust technique with my mare and we have been on an amazing journey together as we have followed this course. She is a highly sensitive horse and the amazing combination of present moment and mindful regard has assisted us to cope with, the death of a close herd member, enforced moves to 3 new places in search of a permanent home and introductions to new herds along the way. I was full of anxiety and concern as to how she would cope with these experiences at first, but now I know, with my support, she will deal with everything calmly and peacefully. The trust technique has prepared me to be open to what she has to teach me. I feel this course has been the best kind of course as it has taught me through head, hand and heart. I have learned things intellectually, then have had to do it, then reflect on how the whole thing has effected me emotionally and spiritually. Thank you so much for this life enhancing experience.

I love it????. It so makes sense. I have already noticed that my dogs are calmer and me too.
We still have a long way to go but now I’m hopeful. I can’t thank you enough.
Suzanne????
