Carly called sharing her animal communication experience with me about her Jack Russell terrier, Dolly. She’s a sweet dog Carly rescued just a year ago. And lucky for Dolly, too, since this was home #4. Her history reasoned her surrender because ‘out of the blue’ she would scream a shrill scream that sent folks running from the room. The shelter shared , “She’s always a bit standoffish. Maybe this is her way of keeping people at a distance.” An odd description only intensifying Carly’s determination to change this habit and replace it with a loving bond. All seemed to be going as planned until one day, it happened. It clearly was as they described. The high pitch scream sent shivers down Carly’s spine and her first reaction was to exit the room, just like all the others before her. But for some reason she stood her ground and observed Dolly’s tail. Her wag was way off. Carly knew Dolly’s tail gestures from joy to fear but this quivering action was different. It held a sense of anxiety, fear and…pain! She hadn’t noticed it before. Her tail action was definately different, alarming and shouting ‘help me.’ One of the lessons communicating with animals is to be observant. Carly learned that lesson well as she observed the differences between all her emotions yet including one more – a wag for help! People often ask, how do you communicate with animals. The answer may be as simple as taking the time to be observant. Once noticed, adding other pieces to the intricate puzzle of a living being, in this case, a dog calling for help, being rejected by several families before but finally finding a person who was willing to take the time to really observe, take notice and follow through with that found. And, oh, by the way, Dolly is now enjoying fewer screams as her little body is being tended to by professionals to ease the pain she was trying to explain for way too long. Keep talking, wagging, Dolly. Your voice is being heard.

To be or not to be in an animal’s presence when communicating with them. Great question. Many clients have difficulty accepting that animal communicators can and do ‘talk with their pets’ long distance, otherwise, not in the presence of the animal. For us who have perfected our animal communication skills we don’t feel we need to be with them because, frankly, an animal’s body language gives TMI overriding the communicator’s intuitive ‘hits’. Okay, it’s great to have instant confirmation and when speaking with an animal in person, or, in-dog-cat-or-horse, their body language shouts
just what’s up. If you would like to ‘translate’ what your animal is sharing with you, I’d rather that you call me, but if you really want to learn some great clues, check out this article: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3715252,00.html Very informative info. So what do this doggie’s ears say? They/he is talking to you. Animal communication comes in all packages: intuitively or, body language or both.

As an Animal Communicator, you can get a sense of the atmosphere in places you enter. Particularly when you walk into a horse training and boarding facility. The sense I’m talking about isn’t the moisture, pollen or ammonia density, I mean the ’sense’ of how those who live iin this place feel. Some ’senses’ are so peaceful and welcoming while others are, well, let’s just say, contrary to that idealic image. It reminds me of how many times I am bombarded by the sounds of a radio blasting, incessantly, 24/7. I was told by the management that ‘horses like to have stimuli. It keeps them from getting bored.’ Well, those folks probably never asked the horses how they felt about the constant wavelengths dulling their very sensitive ears. These very sentient creatures, horses, are already highly tuned. I learned today from Janet Marlow, an expert in the field of sounds, horses and music, that horses and people ‘hear’ at the same level. And, that what bothers people will definately bother a horse. The difference is that people aren’t necessarily bothered to begin with and if they are they can choose another station or better still, turn it off. Be kind to your horse’s ears. Be kind to his mental self. If you feel he needs sounds to make him happy, give him the sounds he really craves, the sounds that nature shares. The problem is, can we recognize those nature sounds ourselves? The day of the iPod has overshadowed the sweet sounds of- just nature. Your horse will thank you for it.

Ever wonder how much we could learn by communicating with a dog, cat or rat? Maybe we could learn how to get along with one another despite our differences. Take a look at the video clip. It is inspiring. Dog, Cat and Rat on YouTube

Animal Behavior studies reveal all sorts of neat information about our animal friends. One such study targeted the question: do animals laugh? The result may surprise you! Researchers working with rats discovered that when they tickled them, they laughed. Their study discerned that this offered a unique way to encourage animal communication. Take a look at this short video clip, it really is exciting.Rats When You Tickle Them

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.

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.

You don’t have to be a horse whisperer to know whether your horse’s injury is healed up and he’s ready to get riding again, but if you are, it sure helps. The tests are in, your vet has cleared him and he’s good to go. But you on the other hand, have this funny feeling that he’s just not right – yet. Are you correct? Do you trust what you are feeling? Or are they just your fears, this has been a long road to recovery and you don’t want to make a mistake starting too soon. Animal communication has secrets. Once you choose to study it, you quickly learn that its benefit is that you learn how to feel or intuit when and where an animal feels discomfort and pain. The other secret is to learn how to read body language with more clarity and insight than you ever did before. You are taught how to leave your own perceptions behind and really ‘see’ and ‘feel’ differently. Watch and observe your horse. Start out slowly and don’t be coerced by other good-intentioned riders to get going. If your ‘feelings’ are saying yes, okay, but if they are no, then holding off is a good thing. Maybe animal communication should really be called intuitive communication.

Interspecies Communication is as odd a concept to people as learning to speak German is to dogs and cats. Consider how dogs and cats must feel when they’re taken to the veterinarian for a check up. People compare it to an annual physical, not a frightening experience but people are tended to by other people who use the same vocabulary as they do. A dog or cat, however, speaks, well, dog or cat. Even though they are conditioned to read and react to people’s body language and respond to training cues they only get a small percentage of what’s really going on. Just waiting their turn in the reception area is enough to set their energy antennae to high. Those candidates are sending out signals that this place pokes, prods and even sticks! Who wouldn’t be tentative to trust the attendees’ good intentions when faced with an obvious communication gap. If the staff considered learning more about Interspecies Communication and how learning ‘how to’ communicate with animals they could improve their doctor-patient relationship. Perhaps a visit to the vet’s office and the overall healing of animals would be less stressful and more trustful.

This question came from a student after the Accredited Animal Communication class I teach at Colorado’s Front Range Community College. Lisa asked, “I’m wondering if this is my imagination or not, but once animals realize that they can communicate with me, will pets belonging to people I know try to communicate with me to tell their people stuff?” My answer: Yes! Animals, once they understand that you can and do hear them will spread the word with their animal connections. Hey, we do the same. don’t we like spreading a good word? Great Question! And keep up your good work learning how to communicate with animals.
