What is The Trust Technique?
The Trust Technique is a transformative approach that fosters a deep bond between you and your animal, built on trust, mindfulness, and mutual respect.
It's a 3 stage, non dominant approach to working with animals using peaceful interaction to build trust, confidence and connection.. It recognises that humans and animals share feelings. So we slow everything down to work at the pace of the animal and use stillness to create a safe listening space.
By lowering our own levels of thinking, we support the animal to lower their thinking levels and in so doing reduce their fears, anxieties, and promote their sense of well being. In turn this helps them to re-discover confidence in their ability to self regulate their behaviours, which then builds trust for their humans too.
Unwanted, stressful behaviours and problems can be understood by going slowly and the non judgemental, non dominant, step by step approach is simple and relaxing for both animal and human.
What are the Benefits of the Trust Technique?
There is a benefit to physical and mental well being, as lower thinking levels promote self healing. This is a win, win situation with everyone benefitting from the stress free environment that is created by using the Trust Technique.
You listen more deeply to your animal and understand what motivates their behaviours. This means your animal listens more deeply to you so the connection deepens and the co-operation grows in quite a magical way.
Small actions like taking your dog in the car, without them becoming totally panicked, or being able to put the hay out without being mugged by your horse, can massively enhance the quality of everyone's life.
The ripple effect of using The Trust Technique with your animal can have a wonderful positive impact on the whole family or herd, and bring the great sense of ease that comes with finding Peace of Mind.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your bond with a beloved horse, dog, or any other animal, the Trust Technique offers a gentle, supportive, and non-judgmental path to achieving a harmonious relationship. As you learn to be a better listener, you’ll find that your animal becomes more receptive, creating a beautiful cycle of mutual respect and understanding, allowing unwanted behaviours to diminish or completely fade away.
The Trust Technique was devised by James French and Shelley Slingo.
You can choose to access their amazing online video course with simple guidelines & lots of case studies to help you develop your skills & communication with your own animals.. This will enable you to develop The Trust Technique® at the pace of your animal in your own time.
What James French (founder of TT) has to say about The Trust Technique from his introduction to ‘Messages of Trust’
"The missing 'peace' in the relationship with your animal"
"We have all been conditioned over centuries to believe such things as the boss theory, pressure methods, animals don’t have feelings and that somehow your animal is competing against you. This stems from the judgement of “bad” behaviour which needs correction and reprimand. The problem here is that behaviour is only the outward expression of something else, which is happening on a deeper level and that is how your animal is FEELING.
Either consciously or subconsciously you will be sharing these feelings. It will more than likely be expressed by you as one or as a combination of these emotions. Frustration, anger, worry, guilt, embarrassment, helplessness, despair, anxiety and the list goes on.
This creates a gap between how you truly feel about your animal, the love you have for them and the way you are reacting to them. It is this separation that causes the most pain in the relationship!
The key to making fast and long-lasting positive change is to help them let go of fear and build trust and confidence in you and his or her surroundings."
