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.

Gorgeous Homer has been waiting a while to come visit due to some really concerning health issues. But I finally got to meet him and his gorgeous foster brother Rory and his lovely foster mum and dad. It was a wonderful session I enjoyed showing them this approach 💜 I will enjoy this journey - let’s show Homer he can be calm and doesn’t need to eat / growl / snarl at Rory.

My last session today was also online, this time down south in Invercargill. This was my second session with Herbie.

We had a lot to cover and it was a big session for mum - lots of new information building new habits for them both.

Loved watching them try the new lead walking - Herbie was smiling and trotting around the lounge loving it ! đź’ś

Online session with Nala today to help her as she is getting a bit bossy with her new fur sister Nip.

She gets a bit grumbly which isn’t the right answer.

I’ve taught mum the Trust Technique a few years back when I helped this dog get rehomed with her 🥰 so I’m more than keen to get Nala back on track again and get her settled back to being her best self.

Yesterday I got to catch up (online) with Clover down in Nelson.

Her mum has worked super hard over summer to really get clover in a different mindset - and it’s paying off.

Mum has had some fabulous moments with clover which was great to hear about. And in the moments that weren’t so great for clover - when random strangers scared her - mum knew exactly what to do to support her.

So we added a couple of extra things that they could now advance to 🙌🫶🙌

And we ran through some proven recall protocols for clover to remember she does !

I also had a great session with Jon-Benet and her family. They are implementing all the new practices and starting to see the subtle differences coming ….💜 I showed mum and dad some more walking exercises today and their gorgeous dog was very happy with herself at the end of them. She was smiling 💜 we also got to have an impromptu training opportunity with my cat which was the first moment showing this dog how to go differently, still some work to do but today was fun and another step closer to their goals

Great sessions today. Was so good seeing kleo and Houdini and doing our walking session. Mum and dad are putting in the steps to help the dogs find their confidence out in the world, which is helping the dogs so much.

Then today they got to walk the two dogs side by side out walking together for the first time …ever, and then to step it right up, they each had a go at walking them both each -2 dogs 1 person.

Boy they were all smiling 🫶🙌🫶🙌 was great to show them how they could do this

Little Bonnie pup is a real character- she’s full of cuddles and playfulness last couple of days. I really hope there is someone out there that would like to adopt her 🙏 she loves people and will be easy to slot into a new family with or without another dog. Please get in touch if anyone is looking for a new pup to love

I get to do lots of sessions online throughout NZ and here is Herbie from Invercargill. We had our first session on Thursday and I got to show him and his mum how to start to do the Trust Technique together. Herbie has quite a few worries in life so it’s good to get him started in this approach- we need to remap that clever brain of his so he is calmer about things including people, walking, touching, resource guarding, barking, etc. I’m looking forward to showing him and his mum how different life can be

Kiwa was smiling today too on her session 3 but her mums had bigger smiles.

Today I got to show this family how to help support Kiwa while out walking. I got them to change and try a few new things and within minutes everyone was enjoying this new information and seeing before their eyes how different it could be.

Great session and can’t wait to see how they go with this

Brandi had a great session 3 đź’ś she turned up a happy wee girl today and we got stuck into some lead exercises which will help grow her confidence- she loved it! Mum and Brandi are giving it all a go including diet changes, and noticing change. She looks so different than the dog I met ! Well done you two - keep up the good practicing

Oh HELLO to all the new people - thank you for visiting this page, thank you for the likes, thank you for the enquiries, and thank you for the shares.

I have a bunch of new clients and am looking forward to working with you and showing you this way of being with your pets.

My approach is different but boy does it change things for your horse, or cat, or dog.

I specialize in aggression and anxiety and can help with this and everything in between.
So, WELCOME ....

My intake right now is about a month out so if you are thinking of getting in touch please do, and do yell out if you have any questions.

In the meantime enjoy the photos on the page of the gorgeous dogs and horses I get to work with and enjoy how peaceful they are.

Our sweet foster Bonnie had a great day, topped with a visitor this afternoon to take her for a walk. She enjoyed the attention, the walkabout in the sunshine, and the sit around in the shade. Was another moment enjoying life, and people, for her 💜🥰💜

I tried several times to post yesterday and it wouldn’t work let’s try again I wanted to show you the difference a day makes From cowering and shaking in the crate Bonnie came out smiling yesterday and didn’t stop. She also walked through doorways tail up without shaking and sucking back. She started sniffing and investigating everything It was so nice to see her breakthrough so quickly and this pup is one fun pup 💜 She desperately needs a foster before Thursday if anyone could be that angel ? Message me and come meet her on the weekend….🤞 #lovetrust

Bad video but I’m so proud of these two 🙌👏👏🙌👏 they did so well today. And I walked sunny with Maddie and she was so good 🥰 mums got more to do but they are well on their way ! love this work #lovetrust #trusttraining

Drum roll ….sharing with permission This is mum and dad practicing tonight with Dougal and Quinn and they nailed it!! Both Dougal and Quinn settled really quickly, within a couple of minutes! 💜the more they practice being calm in front of each other the more they will understand they can. Dougal will relax and learn Quinn is ok, and vice versa. Quinn gets to be peaceful around Dougal and remap her neural pathways- leading to her realising she doesn’t need to eat Dougal. So proud of them all! And yes Dave Dougal is a 1 - that is very relaxed, great effort #newdoghabits #lovetrust #trusttraining

Auckland trip - to finish with we did some lead work with Quinn. She is a bit all over the shop on lead and has dangerously tripped mum up ! So I gave mum and Hannah some exercises to practice on lead to help Quinn and I know Quinn will like the support on lead. This was their first go at lead out in the street, to get them started đź’ś#lovetrust #trusttraining #newdoghabits

Auckland trip - This beautiful boy is Scooby (Quinn’s fur brother) and he struggles in life, he’s anxious about a few things especially people. Out walking he pulls like a train so he’s hard to walk. I worked with Hannah to help him walk with confidence and he was so happy with himself, she did a great job of walking with him #lovetrust #trusttraining #newdoghabits

I had the biggest and best time working with Quinn’s lovely family. I was definitely needed as there was a lot going on for each dog. Our big goal was to get Quinn calmer with Dougal which we did multiple sessions yesterday all ending in Quinn asleep - the last one she got so peaceful she was out (zonked) and everyone got up and moved about and people came in and out the rooms while she slept. Was such a great ending to a very intense session with all dogs involved. Here’s a few moments of our sessions yesterday. Quinn is in a crate so she doesn’t get to rush the dogs and mum can have a loose lead. Dougal is the dog she had fought with. And Scooby isn’t sure of her yet either. I missed getting benson on video too busy teaching. yesterday #lovetrust #trusttraining

*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.)
