The Trust Technique is a method for people and their animals to be mindful together. It is a gentle and extremely effective way to work with animals to overcome their fears and anxieties. It can help an animal’s well-being both physically and mentally. It is also a great way to teach them new things easily by reducing their thinking levels enough to put them in a curious and learning mind frame. We call this Realization Learning. The Trust Technique is also a beautiful way to work with an animal in a way that encourages partnership through Trusted Cooperation. They then do willingly because they want to.

More About The Trust Technique
The Trust Technique is a method of reducing thinking levels to promote connection, trust and confidence between an animal and their care giver. It is based on the knowledge that humans and animals share feelings, so what we are thinking or not thinking influences what they are thinking.
If a person is present and shares this feeling with an animal at the animals pace, the animal will get calm and sleepy.
The Trust Technique teaches people how to be mindful. It teaches them how to enter the present moment and then how to deliver this feeling to their animal at the animal’s pace.
The Trust Technique can be used to help an animal self-heal by leading them into a calm or even dream-like meditative mind frame where they can let go of tension, stress, anxieties and worries. The Trust Technique can help an animal overcome their fears, anxieties and behavioral issues. The Trust Technique, also can help an animal learn new things by reducing their thinking levels to a point at which it is conducive for them to learn.
The Trust Technique deepens the connection between the owner and the animal, because the owner, using the Trust Technique, can help their animal overcome fears and anxieties. This promotes a feeling of trust and confidence between them.
There are 3 main levels to the Trust Technique. The first is Creative Reaction. Creative Reaction is the way we get in a present mind frame, and then how we deliver this to an animal at the animal’s own pace, using Mindful Regard.
The second level is called Realization Learning. This is where we reduce the animal’s thinking with Creative Reaction and Mindful Regard to the point at which it is easy and conducive for an animal to learn new things and to self-realize that old patterns of fear and anxiety are not real. A calm mind allows an animal to gain new perspectives and to shed old patterns of thinking.
The third level of the Trust Technique is called Trusted Cooperation. Trusted Cooperation is a way of working with an animal based on mutual benefit. It is non-dominate and not based on competition, where the person is the boss and the animal is the subordinate. Rather, this method is based on mutual trust and cooperation. It relies on the fact that animals are highly intelligent and can be motivated to do almost anything so long as they can do it, the task is clear to them, and the pay is fair. This is nothing we would not expect from business with another human.

Today's Horsewoman episode 115: Julia Carpenter, horsewoman
Our old mule Polly was standing in the sun in front of the shed on the right. I sat down at the base of the tree in the photo and started to do the Trust Technique with her. She walked over and laid down next to the hay pile. I followed her over and kept doing the TT. She finally let go of her tension from the windy weather and fell asleep.
The above video is of an old horse named Mr. Jones, who I have worked with during my training. Mr. Jones was being bothered by his sore shoulders, his sunburned eyes, and the flies. They were awful that day. I started offering him the present moment. After about 5 minuets he lowered his head and fell asleep. He got very quiet and even stopped twitching his skin and stomping.
I thought maybe the flies had left, but when I looked at him they were still crawling all over him, he just stopped thinking about what was bothering him so much, and slid into the present moment with me. It was amazing to witness how the Trust Technique could bring him some peace.
My friend who is a vet and owns Mr. Jones called me later to ask if I'd had a break through with him, as he was acting very unusual for himself and being more social. She sent a picture of him to me of him hanging out in front of her kitchen window. He'd apparently followed her all around as she weeded the garden, and then when she went in the house, he stayed out front waiting for her to come back out.
