Cheryl Trust Practitioner NZ Sharing a peaceful and trusting approach to helping animals with their behaviour issues
(1)

I love doing these sessions - its amazing working with people and their animals on this level and seeing the changes in just one session! It just the loveliest way to work with animals that are anxious or aggressive, going at their pace and helping them understand life doesnt have to be this way, they can come through this.

Look at these two lovelies 🥰 we are on a mission to get Roxy ok with touch and grooming (as she absolutely can’t do it and gets bitey) plus have less barky dogs when home alone.

Lots to do here in our four sessions together but we got off to a great start!! And I can’t wait to do session 2 with these 2 clever pups.

My clients come with a real list of worries for their pet. It’s not tiddlywinks for some of these dogs 😬
You see my photos of calm peaceful sprawled out dogs that look like butter wouldn’t melt. (And just so you know that is exactly what they would like to be, but for one reason or another they are worried about x y or z and they need a hand changing their behaviour.)

The dogs that I work with well they’re in trouble and most times people are reaching out to me as a last hope. They have tried all the conventional training which hasnt worked so they might as well give this ‘Trust thing’ a go ?

So take another look at my photos and see if you can spot the dogs that have
-aggression with dogs
-aggression with rabbits
-aggression with chickens
-aggression with cats
-aggression with people
-anxiety with people
- anxiety with dogs
-anxiety with loud noises
-anxiety about vets
-anxiety with thunder
-anxiety with rain or wind
Etc, the list goes on.

I love this work and I love how people find me and give it a go cause they have nothing to lose and haven’t given up on their babies.

I tell ya by the time I’m in your lounge or your in mine your little dog is saying to me ‘thank goodness you are here!! ‘

And then they get results - surprise !

There is a way back for these dogs, thank goodness you messaged me 😍

Dakotas second session 💜 teaching mum and Dakota how to be peaceful together ….such a special connection builds when applying the trust technique.

Throughout the session Dakota was showing how much he tries for his mum….then we showed him he didn’t have to - that he could relax and be peaceful instead of busy, and it blew his mind (and mums) he stopped biting on her, pushing her hard with his head, moving her feet, biting at himself, and he just relaxed right down.

Calmness showed all over his face and body and his frustration left him.

It was a gorgeous session 💜🥰💜

I have a very busy pup I adopted a month ago.

Our foster fail Leia is very clever and busy - the kind of dog everyone would say Oooh get her some mind games, run her 3 miles a day or 5 walks or teach her patterns /obedience/agility to wear her out…..that’s the opposite of what she needs and will only build more busy!

So we practice alot of quiet calm peaceful moments and she loves it!

She now can self settle and is learning to do things slower, her play is softer, her settle is quicker and it’s nice to see.

When you are practicing TT you need to take time.
I can’t wave the magic wand and undo the days/months/years that your pet has been in worry and overwhelm that has led to the anxious or aggressive behaviours.
But I can show you how to, over time (days or weeks) replace the worry and overwhelm with Trust and Confidence.
And the magic is in the time you spend building your relationship and your connection with your pet.
Take the time
Take 20 minutes a day for a few weeks and transform everything
It’s an amazing approach that I guarantee will help you both, if you take the time

Had a great fourth session with Frankie last week.

We covered a lot of info especially on body touch, and got to step into some advanced work as dad has done a lot of training / management of behaviours with Frankie.

So we got to do some treat training (which I hardly get to do), but in a whole different way than traditional training.

Frankie was trying hard to understand what and why we were doing it so different….then he got calmer and calmer and dad could ask for more and more….it was beautiful to watch.

This is a photo where we were showing Frankie he could be touched by a big scarey towel!!! (See scarey blue towel right by dads knee 😬)

Instead of running away full of fear he lay down and yawned and got calmer….isnt that beautiful! Love this work 💜 it’s so different than mainstream and oh so powerful.

💜 I love meeting all my new clients and their pets.
I love that they are wanting to try something different realising there is another way to be effective and to help their pets.
I love teaching the Trust Technique and all that is within this approach to being connected with animals
I love the messages I get - even the ones where a practice hasn’t worked out .... it’s how we learn.
I especially love the courage it takes to keep going in the ‘new’ and to trust that we will reach your goals.

Connection vs control

Oooh it’s such a topic

It was part of our conversation on my monthly zoom with James (founder of the Trust Technique) and the global practitioner community 💜

I will always value connection over control

It’s a great space to be in and wow it’s such a gamechanger 💜and it has amazing results plus you build a really strong relationship at the same time!! Nice to build a relationship instead of taking from it and destroying it in the process….

The trust technique has so many layers and so much depth - we mostly touching the tip of a very big conversation

Cooper came for a visit - he’s been having trouble sleeping and is waking mum up at night. Not much fun for anyone ! So we went through some practices to help him settle back to his sleep routine plus we did a contact CARE session which he loved

Trust Technique Practitioner

*I love doing these sessions, its amazing to work with people and their animals on this level and see the changes before my eyes in just one session. Its just the loveliest work and is why I am passionate about teaching this and why I chose to be a practitioner in this particular training. I saw how it worked for my animals and just had to learn more...now I get to share it with people and that is such a privilege and a gift.

*If you have any issue that you may want to work with you and your pet I am available to help you. For your dog this could be any of the following - scared of travel, scared of other animals, scared of people, chases other animals, scared of thunder and lightening, banned from doggy day care for aggression/fear/anxiety, unable to socialise, lunges at dogs on lead, barking issues, guarding issues, new environment, new baby in the house, new animal introductions, end of life worries. For Horses is could be any of the following - anxiety, spooking, wont go in stable, wont go in float, doesn`t like people, biting, kicking,

*I am a certified and insured Trust Technique Practitioner. I work with all animals specializing in Horses and Dogs - but can be minis, donkeys, cows, sheep, goats, llamas, cats, rabbits, birds, etc and can work in person or on skype/facetime.

*I work one on one with you and your animal usually at a time that is a quiet time for your animal (i.e. not feeding time, or walkies time) and we go through the practice of the trust technique so that you learn the technique and can apply it confidently with your animal. This normally takes just over an hour, (max up to 1.5 hours as that is a lot of learning for you both.)
