Animal Communication – Striking Up A Conversation

Friday, August 14th, 2009

A First Level student in Animal University’s Interspecies Communication Certificate Program was recently completing an assignment required to move on to the next Level. She was having difficulty ’striking up a conversation’ with a reticent therapeutic riding horse. She felt that her questions were not compelling enough for the horse to answer and her frustration ended in thinking that her skills were not improving. She asked for some suggestions from me and here’s what I wrote to her…

Hi Terri: Wow! Those are excellent questions. I think that my suggestions would be along the same lines that you have already asked, however, here are a few to consider:

  • Would you mind sharing a few things about your favorite rider
  • How does he feel on your back
  • Do you have suggestions to help him ride you better
  • What do you feel is his most pressing issue that he wants to share with his people (I realize we are asking about the person but it does stir interest in that the horse feels he is more of an assistant than being for a passenger only)
  • What’s your favorite time of day
  • Do you listen to the birds
  • Does the tractor bother you
  • How do you feel about the folks who tend to you
  • Does this responsibility meet your expectations of what you had thought your life would be
  • Do you feel satisfied with your life/frustrated/stifled
  • Do you spend your time in the now or do you ponder wishing you were ‘doing what you used to be doing’

I have learned that animals are like people…some prefer surface conversation while others want to get to a meatier discussion. Tailoring your questions to meet their needs and interests sometimes means being a little nosier/digging deeper to figure out what their style and interests are. It’s a little tricky, I know, but leaning on our own experience, talking with people, can give you confidence to ‘talk with animals’. 

So if you find your communication with animals a little lacking, expand your communication repertoire and ‘just talk’! You’ll be surprised how that closed dog, cat or horse will open up to your inquisitive invitation.

Why does my cat destroy furniture for attention?

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Sometimes animal communication is called animal counseling or pet therapy. Not that it espouses to be a licensed therapeutic profession, however, when discussing emotional and behavioral issues concerning animals, the similarities are all too evident. In the case of the cat destroying furniture, tables, carpets and such, for him, it’s a natural behavior. Humans have a difficult time accepting that cats need things or objects to tend to their personal needs. Cat paws have nails which require grooming. The furniture is a handy, close-at-hand – paw – object for just this purpose. The animal counseling kicks in when helping the human understand that a cat has a point of view and from his point of view, especially for the inside feline, anything in the house is fair game. Is there anything that can be done to fix this dilemma before frustrations get completely out of control? Other than removing all pieces of potential paw-grooming furniture and the like, taking steps to communicate with your cat, or hiring an animal communicator to do it for you, will help. Step one is be truthful with your feelings. Follow up with constructive and creative behavioral training to teach your cat what you don’t want and replace with what you do want, controlled destruction using a cat-groomer scratching post, in this case, a welcome addition to any home’s décor. Remember people think one way and pets think another. Each one has a point of view and it’s the borderline animal counseling that can bring the two together.

Why does my cat eliminate outside the box?

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Are cat communicators different from dog, horse or ferret communicators? No, they all fall in the category titled animal communicator or pet psychic. Their job is to answer questions to improve the relationship between people and their animals. One relationship bomb sure to make an immediate impression is when kitty ‘goes’ somewhere – in the middle of the bedspread, in the bathtub, under the dining room table – anywhere accept in the strategically placed, freshly cleaned, no expense spared litter box. Why do cats do that? Go somewhere else when their people have taken great pride in doing the best that their money, time and energy can do to ‘make it purrr-fect?’ Because cats are cats and cats have certain standards and if their people do not live up to those standards they feel free to take it upon themselves to tell them so, in no uncertain terms. What better way to ‘get their attention, tell their people there’s something that is bothering them’ than to ‘step outside the box’ and shout that definitive statement. That announcement may refer to a myriad of things from behavior, health, relationship or emotional issues. So what’s a cat’s person to do? Just wait for the next bomb to fall? Ignore and hope it never happens again? An animal communicator can come to the rescue. Once an animal, in this case, a cat, is ‘noticed and heard’ the information can be translated by a qualified animal communicator. Her skills will intuit just what is going on in this household and offer suggestions to fix it. Whew! Disgust and chaos restored to peace and harmony. Emergency solved, saved and restored by an Animal Communicator.

Animal Communication – Key To Trust

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

These financial times are hitting everyone pretty darn hard. At least that is what we hear, read and water-cooler. Once, the sky was the limit, now, inches ever more downward toward vulnerable workers and entrepreneurs.

privatesessionLosses, credibility cracks, crooks, shysters, cut-backs, layoffs, bailouts – doom, doom and gloom. Is there anyone ‘out there’ who has integrity, honesty, loyalty and just plain old goodness? Of course, take a look at who is wagging tails, planting jump marks on your neat and tidy clothes, barks incessantly and runs rings around your welcomed return. And don’t forget those who whinny, meow and chirp in not-so-perfect pitch.

Take a look, a hard look, deep into the eyes of real loyalty, real truth and total honesty. Your dogs, cats, horses and more, those special souls will never let you down or lie, cheat and steal their way to the top.

They are always honest, truthful and trustworthy, okay, maybe they don’t always come when called. You can depend on them honoring, loving and giving to you.

Take them seriously, share your world with them, feel confident that your ‘confidence’ will always be revered. These truly are your trusted partners waiting to support, help and share their thoughts with you. They can talk with you and you CAN hear them. All you have to do is consider conversing differently and learn how to un-block a few patterns.

Seriously, you are missing a ‘world’ of information out there. It’s walking around, licking your toes, purring you to sleep or carrying you through hill and dale. Just ‘do it.’
