Acclimating Your Pet With Animal Communication

Sally was so young and innocent when she was taken away from her home and family. Though the family that welcomed her was kind and gentle, her new world was full of uncertainty. Everything and everyone she had known vanished, and in their place stood unfamiliar people, places, sounds, and smells. The comfort of home was gone. Sally’s journey was one of adaptation, but she longed for the familiarity she had lost.

Despite being given food, comfort, and toys, Sally couldn’t shake her sense of displacement. None of it felt like hers. Her bed was unfamiliar, her favorite food was missing, and the sounds of her old world—the language and smells she once knew—were replaced by an entirely new environment. She silently wondered, How do I fit in here? What is expected of me? What can I expect in the days to come?

Sally’s wishes were simple:

  • “May I have the food that is my favorite?”
  • “Can I find a playmate who understands my language?”
  • “How can I communicate in a way you will understand?”

Her heart ached for her old life, but she also wanted to understand her new one.

Can you feel her sadness and confusion? It’s easy to imagine that Sally might be a foreign exchange student, arriving in a place where the language, culture, and customs are entirely different from what she knew. But what if Sally wasn’t a human at all?

In this case, Sally is not an exchange student. Sally is a four-month-old puppy and one of the 4.1 million animals adopted yearly.

Understanding Through Communication

Animal communication plays a crucial role in helping pets like Sally acclimate to a new environment. By tapping into their energy and emotions, we can understand their needs and concerns. Through intuitive listening and connection, we can give animals a voice that allows their new families to meet them where they are—emotionally and mentally.

When Sally arrived in her new home, she was offered toys, food, and a warm place to sleep. Yet, despite these comforts, something was missing: Sally didn’t feel understood. Through animal communication, we can listen to what Sally is feeling and thinking, providing her with a sense of validation. Whether it’s a puppy, a rescue animal, or a pet moving to a new home, communication opens the door to a smoother transition.

Using intuitive skills, I could help Sally’s new family hear her silent questions:

  • “May I please have the food that reminds me of home?”
  • “Is there a place here where I can feel safe?”
  • “How can I play and communicate in a way that you will understand?”

By acknowledging Sally’s unspoken needs, we give her a sense of belonging. She feels heard and respected, which can reduce anxiety and make her transition easier.

Building a Bridge Between Humans and Animals

Animal communication is a two-way street. It’s not only about understanding the animal’s feelings but also about helping the family communicate with their new pet. Just as a foreign exchange student would benefit from learning the language of their host family, a pet like Sally needs guidance and understanding, too.

Families can help their new pets acclimate by:

  • Offering choices that align with the animal’s personality and preferences.
  • Introducing them to new environments and routines in a gradual, respectful way.
  • Communicating boundaries while remaining sensitive to the animal’s past experiences.
  • Encouraging new friendships with other pets, making sure to honor their communication style.

When we give animals the space to express themselves, we empower them to feel confident and secure in their new homes. Sally’s journey from uncertainty to comfort is one that many pets experience, but through the power of animal communication, we can make this transition smoother and more compassionate.

Steps to Help a New Pet Acclimate

Animal communication offers insight into how we can ease a pet’s transition into their new environment. Here are some steps I often share with families welcoming a new animal:

  1. Understand Their Preferences
    Through communication, we can discover what foods, toys, or routines a new pet might prefer based on their past experiences. If Sally misses a certain type of food or a familiar scent from her old home, we can provide these comforts to help her feel at ease.
  2. Create a Safe Space
    Animals, especially those in unfamiliar surroundings, need a place where they can retreat and feel safe. Communicating with them allows us to identify what that space should be. Does Sally want her bed in a quieter room? Does she feel safer with a particular toy or blanket that brings her comfort?
  3. Introduce New Routines Gently
    Transitioning into a new home means adapting to new routines. Through animal communication, I can relay how Sally feels about these changes, allowing her family to ease her into new habits in a way that feels less overwhelming. For instance, we might discover she needs more time to adjust to a new feeding schedule or that she feels most comfortable taking walks in quieter areas.
  4. Teach Boundaries with Compassion
    Animals thrive when they know what is expected of them. Communicating with Sally could help her understand the family’s boundaries and rules while also allowing the family to set these expectations with compassion. For example, if Sally doesn’t understand why she’s not allowed on certain furniture, we can help explain it in a way that resonates with her.

The Importance of Choice

Ultimately, all beings—whether human or animal—need the power of choice to thrive. Sally, like any new pet, benefits when she’s given the freedom to make small decisions within her new environment. Animal communication allows us to identify what choices are most meaningful to her, helping her find her unique place in her new family.

When we listen to our pets, understand their needs, and provide them with choices, we create an environment where they can truly thrive. Sally’s journey is one of transformation—made easier and more meaningful through the gift of communication.

By opening up this line of understanding, we help our animals feel heard, valued, and loved, no matter how unfamiliar their world might seem at first.

Why Is My Animal Acting Out?

Have you ever noticed your pet behaving in ways that seem out of the ordinary? Perhaps your dog is counter-surfing, your cat is suddenly skittish, or your pet just seems to be acting out of character. As a pet owner, it can be confusing and frustrating to deal with these “unwanted” behaviors. But what if there’s more to the story? What if these behaviors, which we label as “undesired” or “acting out,” are simply expressions of unmet needs or an attempt to communicate with us?

Our companion animals don’t have the same language we do, so they express themselves through their actions. Often, these behaviors are perfectly normal from their perspective. The key to helping them is first understanding why they’re acting out.

Common Causes of Unusual Behavior in Pets

  1. Pain or Illness
    If your pet is experiencing pain or illness, they may act out in unexpected ways. Sudden aggression, withdrawal, or a change in appetite could all signal that something is physically wrong. It’s important to rule out medical issues before assuming your pet is just being “difficult.”
  2. Boredom
    Pets need mental and physical stimulation. A lack of activity or variety in their day can lead to behaviors like destructive chewing, excessive barking, or even depression. Providing toys, puzzles, or interactive games can help keep their minds engaged.
  3. Lack of Exercise
    Pets, especially dogs, need regular exercise to stay balanced and calm. Without sufficient physical activity, they may release pent-up energy in ways that seem like misbehavior—such as jumping, hyperactivity, or chewing on furniture.
  4. Lack of Environmental Enrichment
    Just like humans, animals need enrichment to feel fulfilled. If their environment lacks stimulation—such as new sights, sounds, or smells—they may resort to behaviors like digging, scratching, or escaping in search of more exciting surroundings.
  5. Anxiety or Stress
    Anxiety can manifest in various ways, including pacing, barking, hiding, or aggression. This could be triggered by a new pet or child in the family, changes in routine, or a traumatic past experience. If your pet feels unsafe or unsure, they may act out to cope with their stress.
  6. Fear
    Fear is a powerful motivator for unusual behavior. Whether it’s a loud noise, an unfamiliar person, or a past trauma, animals may react defensively when they feel threatened. Understanding the root of their fear is key to addressing it compassionately.
  7. Unclear Boundaries and Expectations
    Pets need structure and guidance to feel secure. Without clear boundaries, they may act out simply because they don’t know what is expected of them. Jumping on guests or begging at the table may be seen as “misbehavior,” but from the pet’s perspective, they might not understand that this is unacceptable.
  8. Misunderstanding or Lack of Guidance
    In many cases, pets are labeled as misbehaving when they simply don’t understand what we want from them. A dog that jumps on a stranger, for example, may be showing exuberance, not aggression. When we misunderstand their motivations, it can lead to frustration for both the pet and the owner.
  9. Lack of Socialization
    Pets that haven’t been properly socialized or exposed to a variety of experiences during their developmental stage may react fearfully or aggressively to new situations. This lack of experience can lead to anxiety and confusion, resulting in behaviors like growling, barking, or avoiding new people or pets.

How Animal Communication Can Help

As an animal communicator, I’ve seen firsthand how understanding a pet’s motivations can make all the difference. Many times, what appears to be “acting out” is really a cry for help or an expression of unmet needs. By communicating with your pet, we can open a dialogue to understand what they’re trying to tell us.

For example, if a dog jumps on a stranger, it’s easy to assume they’re being aggressive or poorly trained. But what if, through communication, we find out that the dog is simply overexcited and greeting the person with excess energy? In this case, the solution is not punishment but rather teaching the dog how to greet people calmly. Understanding the motivation behind the behavior allows us to choose the correct strategy for modification.

Animal communication can be beneficial in cases where:

  • There is a change in routine, such as a new pet or child in the household.
  • A pet has experienced trauma and is reacting out of fear.
  • There is uncertainty around boundaries and expectations in the home.
  • The pet’s behavior seems to change suddenly, indicating potential health issues or emotional distress.

Addressing Animal Behavior with Compassion

Every behavior has a cause, and it’s our job as caretakers to find the root of that behavior. When we take the time to understand our pets—whether through observation, training, or animal communication—we can create an environment where they feel safe, understood, and happy.

By working with an animal communicator, you can get answers “straight from the horse’s mouth,” so to speak. Instead of guessing why your pet is acting out, you can gain direct insight into their thoughts, feelings, and needs. This not only saves time and effort but also deepens your bond with your animal.

Choosing the Right Approach

If your pet is displaying unusual behavior, don’t rush to label it as misbehavior. Take a step back and consider the possible causes. Are they in pain? Bored? Anxious? By understanding their motivations—and potentially using animal communication—you can find the right approach to help your pet feel more secure and supported.

Remember, every behavior tells a story. It’s up to us to listen, understand, and respond with compassion. Your pet isn’t trying to “act out”—they’re trying to communicate. And with the right tools, we can make sure their message is heard.

Pet Loss and Animal Communication: Part 2

Losing a cherished pet is a deeply painful experience that resonates with every pet enthusiast. These animals transcend mere companionship; they become integral members of our families, sharing in the highs and lows of our lives. They occupy a unique space in our hearts, witnessing moments often unseen by even our closest human connections. Unbeknownst to us, their lives become intricately intertwined with ours, shaping our daily routines and influencing our decisions, from feeding and walking to playtime and healthcare. Our lives revolve around their needs, with our exercise regimes and social interactions often structured around their presence, particularly evident with dogs, though even hamsters can provide companionship and playfulness.

The Bonds We Have With Our Pets

With the arrival of a new pet, whether a lively puppy or a weathered rescue horse, we inherently understand that this bond will eventually come to an end. Though this reality may be uncomfortable to contemplate as we embark on the exciting journey of this new friendship, it remains an undeniable truth for every pet-owner relationship. Unlike some cultures that embrace the natural cycle of birth and death as an inevitable and even celebratory part of life, our contemporary American society often shies away from confronting these realities, preferring to avoid the discomfort associated with mortality.

The Inevitability of Pet Loss

In facing the final days with our beloved pets, my advice to fellow animal lovers is to approach this chapter with a sense of peace. While your pet will find release, you will be left with the memories of these closing moments. By preparing yourself in advance, you can ensure that your recollections are not clouded by regret and sorrow. My hope is that in the years to come, you will fondly recall the joyous times shared with your pet—the love, laughter, and playfulness—rather than dwelling on the pain of their final days. Remember, the end is a fleeting moment compared to a lifetime of cherished memories. Do not allow the sadness of death to overshadow the abundance of joy that you and your pet shared.

These are things you can do ahead of time to reduce the stress on the final days:

  • Have a conversation with your vet and prepare any supplies and medications you might need as death approaches.
  • Have a family meeting to decide ahead of time how much medical intervention you are willing and able to do. Discuss what makes sense for your lifestyle, finances, and your pet’s quality of life. Define the boundaries of care and stick to the plan. 
  • Death does not read the calendar, and often, the ending comes at night or on weekends. Ask your vet to help you identify the best 24-hour emergency clinic to contact if necessary. Keep the contact information readily available. Set treatment limits based on your plan. No one wants to say their final goodbye to a pet and receive a $10,000 bill from the clinic as they leave. Prepare, plan, and persevere.
  • Decide ahead of time how you would like to handle your pets’ remains. There are many options these days. Do your research and make your choice before you need to know so you will not live with any regrets. The vet will ask you when you are deep in grief. You will not feel like making big decisions at that moment; be kind to yourself and have the information ready.
  • Decide what type of memento you will want once your pet is gone. A framed photo, a paw print, a horseshoe, a piece of jewelry? Advance planning helps you feel prepared.
  • You will likely feel exhausted and deeply sad as the final day approaches. Often, we anticipate the end with a heavy sense of dread. I find that it helps to set an intention to anticipate the end in a new way. Find a way to uplift the energy, and do some “bucket list” items with your pet, like making a final visit to the beach to visit beloved family members. Treat this like you would a best friend headed off on an exciting new adventure; celebrate the end of pain. I chose to celebrate a re-birthday with my pets as if they were about to be reborn into a new and exciting life. They get lots of love, a few of their favorite things, and some special treats. Sometimes, celebration can take the edge off of grief.
  • And finally, spend some time in deep inner reflection. Ask yourself, “How can I bring this chapter to a close in a way that I can live with, in the years to come?”. I would like you to be able to say, “I have done everything that I could have done, and I am at peace with my actions”. With this type of reflection and planning, you will be able to focus on remembering the joy of the relationship rather than the sadness of the final days.

Ultimately, the depth of our grief reflects the depth of our love for our pets. By embracing preparation and reflection, we can honor their memory with a sense of peace and gratitude for the love they brought into our lives.

Pet Loss and Animal Communication: Part 1

As pet owners welcome a new addition to their families, thoughts of the eventual end of this cherished relationship are often pushed aside in favor of building a strong bond in the present. Though we acknowledge the inevitability of parting ways, we prefer to focus on the joyous moments shared with our beloved pets, cherishing each day spent together. However, this avoidance of the inevitable doesn’t prevent it from looming on the horizon.

In today’s pet-centric world, our attention is largely consumed by selecting the finest toys, nourishment, and medical care for our animal companions. At the same time, discussions about illness, mortality, and end-of-life planning are often overlooked. While it’s natural not to dwell on such somber topics throughout our pets’ lives, preparing for the inevitable to alleviate stress when the time arrives is prudent.

End of Life Preparation with an Animal Communicator or Medical Intuitive

My role as an animal communicator and medical intuitive frequently involves guiding pet owners through the sensitive process of end-of-life counseling and preparation. Many consultations center around assessing a pet’s quality of life as it ages, navigating challenges such as declining health, altered behavior, and mobility issues. While veterinarians address physical symptoms, I focus on delving deeper into understanding a pet’s emotional and physical state, enabling a more personalized approach to care.

Through telepathic communication, pets are given a voice in their own healthcare journey. By interpreting their signals and emotions, we can better understand their needs and preferences, allowing for more effective management of their well-being.

As our pets near the end of their journey, we are faced with difficult questions and may begin to ask questions like: “My dear friend, are you suffering?”, “Is the pain too much?”, “Is it time?, “Do you want me to help you to leave your body?” Ultimately, we never want to say goodbye. We have always known this time would come, but we feel ill-prepared. We might ask ourselves: “Are we doing enough?”, “Are we doing too much?, ”How do we know when the right time is to stop all of the care, cease the lifesaving efforts, and resign ourselves to the death process?” These moments are fraught with many emotions, including guilt, grief, and uncertainty. While the path to saying goodbye is never easy, animal communication can provide clarity and closure, helping both pet and owner navigate this final chapter with compassion and understanding.

My Experience Helping with the Transition as an Animal Communicator

Over the years, I’ve guided numerous clients through this process and had the privilege of connecting with many animals as they crossed the threshold into the next phase of existence. Through these experiences, the animals have imparted invaluable lessons on living fully and embracing death gracefully. Allow me to share their wisdom with you. 

This is what they would want you to know:

  1. The transition from their failing physical body is a profoundly joyful experience beyond words to capture fully. It embodies light, love, freedom, and a profound sense of returning home. These descriptors, though inadequate, attempt to convey the depth of this transformative journey.
  2. Upon leaving their physical form, their consciousness persists, vibrant and alive. Freed from the constraints of their earthly vessel, they feel invigorated, perhaps even more alive than before. Unlike humans, who often perceive death as a final separation from our loved ones, animals view it as transitioning to a new phase of existence. They see it not as an end but as a departure to another realm, wearing a lighter, ethereal form of energy.
  3. In this new state, they retain the ability to perceive and connect with us, knowing that our love transcends physical boundaries. Some choose to linger near their loved ones in spirit form, while others embark on their next adventure with boundless enthusiasm.
  4. The decision to choose euthanasia when a pet’s quality of life diminishes is deeply personal. Animals understand that death is an inevitable part of life, and they harbor no attachment to the method or timing of their passing. What matters most to them is the well-being and happiness of their human companions.
  5. As they transition to a new life, they release all concerns for themselves and focus instead on guiding us through our grief and healing. They encourage us to embrace the present moment, cherish life’s love and joy, and move forward with courage and resilience.
  6. In their wisdom, they remind us to live fully, to chase the ball, to embrace new experiences, and to continue sharing love with others. For them, life is not defined by death but by the love and joy we cultivate in each moment. Let us honor their teachings by embracing life’s journey with open hearts and minds.

Pet Psychics Become More Socially Acceptable

I was recently reading an article from the Wall Street Journal,She Charges $550 for 90 Minutes and Has a Wait List of 7,600 People”, and it stated that “pet psychics are making their way from the fringe to socially acceptable”. While I don’t consider myself a ‘pet psychic’, I agree that the landscape of animal communication is shifting into a more socially accepted realm. As an animal communicator, I’ve witnessed this transformation firsthand, and it’s heartening to observe the growing recognition of communication with animals as a legitimate and valuable practice.

Before I get into more about this transition, let me make a quick note about the term “pet psychic”. It can misconstrue the nuanced work of professionals in this field. Instead, the essence lies in understanding, empathy, and meaningful communication with animals—not fortune-telling. It’s about a deeper connection and dialogue.

The Animal Communication Perception Shift

The shift in perception about animal communication is evident for those in the animal field. Only a few years ago, most vets might have dismissed information from animal communicators or medical intuitives. Today, however, many vets are open to incorporating this input into their testing and diagnostics. Similar to how human doctors conduct interviews to collect symptom info, insights from animal communication can help guide vets in the right direction.

I remember just 10 years ago when people weren’t willing to share their experiences about who they use for their pet care if it was outside of the “norm”. While animal communication is becoming more well-known, people are still cautious. When someone is comfortable with sharing that they have used a “pet psychic” or animal communicator, people are intrigued. Even still, they rarely gather the information to convince themselves of the validity until they find themselves in a difficult situation with their pet and need a different perspective. 

Other Recent Shifts In Perception

Just a few years ago, concepts now considered mainstream, such as acupuncture as a medical practice or animal-assisted therapy, were often viewed as fringe or paranormal. Acupuncture, once considered unconventional, has gained widespread acceptance as a complementary medical approach, integrated into many healthcare systems worldwide due to its proven efficacy. Similarly, animal-assisted therapy, initially met with skepticism, is now embraced as a beneficial intervention in various healthcare and therapeutic settings. These examples highlight how what was once perceived as outside the norm has gradually evolved into established and respected practices within society. It’s a testament to our growing understanding and openness to exploring alternative approaches that yield positive outcomes.

Why Animal Communication is Being Used More

The normalization of using communication practices is reflected in the experiences shared by those who have engaged with animal communicators. People seek sessions not just to resolve behavioral issues but also to understand their pets’ preferences for end-of-life care, unravel fear triggers, clarify training goals, introduce change in the family situation, and even ensure their pets are comfortable in the afterlife.

Relationship Building

This communication isn’t solely about resolving issues; it’s akin to relationship counseling. It’s about sharing perspectives, finding common ground, and creating understanding and connection. As understanding between humans and animals deepens, anxiety eases, and a stronger bond forms.

Life Changes

As society becomes more accepting of this communication practice, it’s becoming commonplace ahead of significant life changes. Animals, like us, benefit from understanding what comes next—be it a trip, a move, a new addition to the family, or even a change in routine. Clarity reduces stress and anxiety for our furry friends.

Decision Making

One remarkable aspect of this communication is its potential impact on decision-making. For instance, in one case I was assisting with, I helped a client choose the perfect retired military working dog by observing the reactions of their current pets to the 3 different profiles—a valuable insight often overlooked.

Physical Ailments

Moreover, the ability to sense and understand what animals feel isn’t just an abstract concept. It can manifest as physical sensations, as was the case with a pony experiencing breathing difficulty. The pony communicated, “It feels like a hotdog up my nose,” leading to the discovery and removal of a nasal growth by the vet.

Behavior Changes

Engaging an animal communicator to help understand behavior changes can be transformative, as animals thrive when they comprehend expectations. Often, humans struggle to clearly convey their desires, leading to mixed messages received by animals. However, through animal communication, a skilled communicator can bridge this gap, deciphering the subtle cues and unspoken needs of our furry companions. By facilitating a dialogue that transcends verbal language, these communicators enable a deeper understanding of an animal’s perspective. This mutual comprehension paves the way for clearer communication of expectations, reducing confusion and empowering animals to willingly comply with desired behaviors.

In a world where communication barriers between humans and animals often exist, animal communicators play a pivotal role. Sharing your experience after a pet communication session helps spread the word about this helpful resource. The work of communicators fosters understanding, eases anxiety, aids decision-making, and ultimately strengthens the bond between pets and their human companions. As these practices become more normalized, there’s less need to convince skeptics; instead, validation and confirmation of the value of insights from an animal’s perspective are increasingly prevalent.

As the new year approaches, it’s a wonderful time for pet owners to reflect on their relationships with their furry companions and set intentions for a harmonious and fulfilling journey ahead. One powerful tool that can facilitate this process is animal communication—an incredible way to deepen the bond between humans and their beloved pets while fostering understanding and mutual respect.

Embracing the Power of Animal Communication

Animal communication isn’t about simply talking to animals in the conventional sense. It’s a practice that involves tuning into your pet’s thoughts, emotions, and sensations, creating a bridge of understanding that transcends verbal language. It’s a means of establishing a deeper connection and gaining insight into your pet’s needs, desires, and overall well-being.

Setting Positive Intentions

As pet owners, setting positive intentions involves aligning your thoughts and actions with the shared well-being of you and your furry companion. Here’s how you can use animal communication to set intentions for a beautiful year ahead:

1. Cultivating Understanding

Begin by dedicating quiet moments to connect with your pet. Practice mindfulness and openness, allowing yourself to be receptive to their signals. Observe their behaviors, gestures, and vocalizations. Through this observation, seek to understand their unique ways of expressing themselves.

2. Establishing Trust

Building trust is essential in any relationship, including the one you share with your pet. Communicate your love, appreciation, and respect. Use gentle, reassuring words and actions. Visualize your desired positive outcome in each situation. Be consistent in your behavior, respecting their boundaries while fostering an environment of safety and security.

3. Creating Balance and Wellness

Set intentions that focus on the well-being of your pet. Whether it’s introducing new activities for mental stimulation, ensuring a balanced diet, or incorporating regular exercise into their routine, aim for holistic wellness. Use animal communication to gauge their responses and preferences, tailoring their care to align with their needs.

4. Strengthening Connection

Nurture the emotional connection with your pet by spending quality time together. Engage in activities that bring joy to both of you. Listen to their cues during these moments—observe their body language and responses. Use this communication to deepen your understanding of their likes, dislikes, and comfort zones.

5. Setting Goals Together

In the spirit of the new year, set achievable goals that benefit both you and your pet. Perhaps it’s learning a new trick, exploring a different walking route, or even incorporating relaxation techniques like massage or meditation for both of you to unwind together.

Animal Communication

The above tips for setting positive intentions are all great ways to enhance your relationship wth your pet 1-on-1. When you find yourself seeking deeper insights, detailed information, or a health assessment for your beloved pet that may extend beyond your current understanding, connecting with an experienced animal communicator can offer invaluable assistance. Animal communicators, also known as animal medical intuitive, specialize in tuning into animals on a profound level, providing insights and understanding that might transcend your immediate scope. Whether it’s unraveling complex behaviors, understanding their emotions, or assessing their well-being, an animal communicator can serve as a valuable partner in nurturing a deeper connection and addressing intricate aspects of your pet’s needs that might require an advanced level of communication. 

By incorporating animal communication into your relationship with your pet, you pave the way for several incredible benefits:

  • Strengthened bond: Enhanced understanding leads to a deeper connection between you and your pet.
  • Improved well-being: Aligning intentions with your pet’s needs promotes a healthier and happier life for both of you.
  • Resolving issues: Address behavioral concerns or emotional distress by listening to your pet’s communication cues and responding accordingly.
  • Mutual trust: Establishing trust through open communication creates a more harmonious and trusting relationship.

As we step into a new year, let’s embrace using animal communication to foster empathy, compassion, and a profound connection with our pets. By setting positive intentions and practicing mindful communication, we can create a year filled with mutual understanding, love, and joy in our relationships with our beloved furry friends. Cheers to a pawsitively wonderful new year ahead!

How Animal Communicators Work With Animal Behaviorists

When your pet encounters health or behavioral challenges, determining where to seek assistance can be a difficult decision. Your primary choice should generally be your veterinarian. Veterinarians possess extensive training and experience that allows them to identify the underlying causes of health issues. They are skilled at pinpointing illnesses or injuries that might be responsible for sudden shifts in behavior.

The Role of Veterinarians and Specialists

While many of our pets’ issues aren’t strictly health-related, such as alterations in behavior or difficulties in communication during training, your vet can guide you. Once health-related causes have been ruled out, your veterinarian might refer you to other specialists like animal behaviorists, trainers, or animal communicators to address problems like:

  • Aggressive tendencies
  • Anxiety-related behaviors
  • Excessive barking or digging
  • Inappropriate urination indoors
  • Compulsive licking or pacing
  • Lack of focus during training
  • Heightened sensitivity

Working with Animal Behaviorists

Working alongside an animal behaviorist can assist pet owners in comprehending and reshaping unwanted behaviors. These professionals possess substantial education and a deep comprehension of a dog’s psyche. They leverage psychological principles to achieve desired behaviors and might devise treatment strategies and training methods to correct behaviors as needed. Common responsibilities of behaviorists focused on training include:

  • Identifying specific problematic behaviors
  • Investigating the causes of these behaviors
  • Analyzing case studies to better understand specific behaviors
  • Collaborating with pet owners and animals on behavior modification, training, or conditioning
  • Recommending treatment plans or medications when necessary
  • Educating owners about behaviors and modification techniques

In each unique scenario, behaviorists collaborate closely with both the pet and the owner. They gather information from the person who has witnessed the behavior, delving into details about the environment, triggers, and observed postures. The behaviorist might also spend time directly observing the animal’s behavior and testing strategies for modification. Throughout this process, information is exchanged verbally based on visual observations, and conclusions are drawn from past experiences. This method, however, doesn’t offer the animal a chance to express its own perspective, thoughts, emotions, and experience of the situation.

Now, envision a scenario where the pet can provide its insights into the behavior. Allowing the pet to contribute its experiences can enrich the overall picture with greater depth and clarity. This is where an animal communicator comes into play, enhancing communication among the pet owner, behaviorist, and pet.

Gaining Insights from Animals

By communicating telepathically with animals, an animal communicator facilitates a conversation using thoughts, emotions, images, and sensory information. This allows them to interview the pet about its firsthand experience effectively. Just as a doctor interviews a patient about symptoms or a therapist discusses emotions, animals can be engaged to share their experiences.

Questions such as:

  • Where do you feel discomfort, and how would you describe the sensation?
  • When you growl at other dogs, are you motivated by fear or anger?
  • How do you perceive being asked to enter the car? What expectations arise?
  • What kind of relationship do you share with the family cat? As a friend, teacher or as a foe?

These queries help us comprehend intentions, emotions, and perceptions directly from the animal rather than relying on our assumptions. This level of detail clarifies misunderstandings, promotes dialogue and collaboration, and defines expectations in a way that the pet can grasp and partake in.

For instance, consider a family pet that regularly growls at approaching dogs. The owner and trainer might assume it’s due to aggression and develop a modification plan based on that assumption. However, in conversation with a communicator, the pet might reveal that fear and uncertainty are its primary emotions. Armed with this new insight, a completely different plan can be devised, one that nurtures the pet’s confidence and facilitates more socialization and growth.

In another scenario, a dog exhibits considerable anxiety during car rides, even for short distances. Based on observed behavior, the owner might conclude that the dog fears the car or experiences motion sickness. Through communication, the dog might share its past experiences of abandonment. It recalls being driven away, left in an unfamiliar place, and never reuniting with its family. The dog incorrectly associates each car trip with abandonment. The animal communicator can correct this assumption and instill an anticipation of enjoyable rides ahead. This illustrates how animal behaviorists, communicators, and caregivers can collaborate to construct a comprehensive, detailed understanding of an animal’s behavior. When training or modification plans include insights directly from the animal’s viewpoint, they are more likely to yield quicker and more successful results compared to plans based solely on observation. 

Harmonious Living

Subsequent communication sessions can further clarify any misunderstandings the pet might have, fine-tune expectations for future training, acknowledge the pet’s progress, and further strengthen the evolving partnership. When animals and humans work together as partners to problem-solve, negotiate, plan, and execute, harmony prevails in the entire household. Adding an animal communicator to your team of supportive pet professionals can offer remarkable benefits.

How Does My Energy Affect My Animal?

In our everyday lives, we humans tend to think of ourselves as quite different from the animals we call our pets. In fact, we are all made up of the same materials and are very closely related when you look at the details of our DNA. Despite our differences, all Beings are made of energy. This life force, or electromagnetic field is the thing that causes all of us to be Alive and to recognize this energy in one another.

Energy as a Guide

Animals of all types instinctively rely on their senses to assess their surroundings and survive in their environments. They use their sight, smell, and hearing of course, but also a sense of “feel” that allows them to sense changes in energy around them. Bats sense energy fields in order to navigate and hunt. Birds sense the earth’s magnetic field to guide their migration. Dogs are being used in medical science to locate and diagnose diseases using their senses. 

Changes In Our Bodies

Modern science is able to measure the various changes that take place in our bodies as we experience emotions, thoughts, and physical activities. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of physiological changes, occur moment by moment, such as when our body temperature changes and brain waves fluctuate in frequency. Our bodies release chemicals and hormones into our bloodstream as our emotions change. Blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate, and pupil dilation are constantly changing as well.

One very important fact worth noting is that all of these physiological changes take place in our bodies when we have an experience AND ALSO when we IMAGINE an experience. The animals in our vicinity have no way of distinguishing our physical danger signals as real and current or as fear we are remembering from past experiences or anticipate happening. Their response will be the same in both cases – they will believe we are in danger.

Our pets are able to sense these changes in much more detail and more accurately than we can ourselves. Anyone that spends time around companion animals has seen how they respond when we are sad or stressed. Horses are able to sense the human heartbeat from 4 feet away, this gives them information about us before we even approach. It is said that they can “feel our fear” and in truth, they can. Additionally, horses in a herd tend to synchronize their heartbeats so when one senses danger, they all know instantly. 

This type of highly attuned sensitivity has served animals well throughout their evolution and increased their ability to survive. In today’s modern society, however, sensitivity can have both its pros and cons for a companion animal.

Pros

  • They feel safe and reassured when their people are “broadcasting” relaxed energy signals
  • Animals are able to sense wellness and illness in the people they meet
  • Anger and fear energy from a person signals an animal to be wary and cautious
  • Dogs learn to respond instantly in training exercises based on the energy we broadcast, even before we can speak a command
  • In some cases, a person’s energy helps a dog to distinguish between friend and foe
  • A horse is able to adjust his speed and energy output using the rider’s signals as guidance

Cons

  • Misunderstandings can frequently occur when an animal reads our energy but chooses an inappropriate response
  • Animals can suffer from hyper-sensitivity in a world filled with sensory stimuli
  • Humans unconsciously broadcast inaccurate information to their pets and the pet is left wondering how to respond, creating anxiety and a lack of self-confidence
  • Humans tend to dwell on remembered events and imagined events that carry their own energy pattern, and a pet cannot distinguish which thoughts are real and which he should be responding to

Our companion animals come to know us quite well by our voice, personal scent, stance, and facial expressions. They also become familiar with and “evaluate” us by the energy that we “broadcast”. 

When we become aware of all the ways that our energy can affect animals, we can begin to intentionally think, imagine, visualize, focus, and act in ways that accurately lead and guide our pets to desired behaviors rather than misleading them into undesired behavior. Anxiously worrying about an upcoming event only makes them anxious. A relaxed posture and slow deep breaths can quickly signal to our pet that we are safe. We can consciously become their confident leader and broadcast information in the form of energy that our pets can accurately use to choose the right response in any given situation.

Is Your Animal Mourning?

Recall a time when you lost a pet or loved one. Do all the emotions come flooding back to you? We’ve known that people go through a range of emotional and physical feelings of grief after a loss whether this loss was of a human family member or a beloved pet. Did you know that it was long believed that humans were the only ones that mourned the loss of a loved one? Many animal lovers have reported seeing the symptoms of mourning in their family pets, but it was often questioned if humans were projecting our feelings onto them or if animals truly experience a mourning period after a loss. 

Believe it or not, there is human mourning and there is also animal mourning. Mourning the loss of a loved one can be a complex and very individually unique process. Each person, or animal, will go through this process in their own way. Some may display their feelings openly and others will keep the feelings held quietly inside. Therefore, it can be quite difficult to tell when an individual or animal is in a state of mourning. 

What Mourning Looks Like

Current research is now confirming that many animal species do recognize the death of a family member or companion and exhibit signs of mourning their loss. These species include dogs, horses, elephants, giraffes, monkeys, and dolphins.

Elephants, in particular, have been recognized to have similar mourning behavior to humans. They cry real tears and cry out in distress at the loss of a family member. They pay homage to their deceased friend, standing vigil over the body, touching it tenderly, protecting it from harm and even burying the remains. The empathy that elephants have for loved ones even brings them to visit the skeletal remains of herd members years after their death.

Horses also have been known to gather around the body of a family member to hold vigil and show signs of sadness for a deceased herd member.

Behavioral Changes in Animals After Loss

For both humans and animals, grief is the result of feeling love and happiness from connection with another creature and then losing that beloved one. Companion animals feel this loss for both their human family and also for the other animals they love.

The ASPCA says that over 60% of pets experience four or more behavioral changes after losing a companion. These symptoms might include:

  • Unusual vocalization
  • Loss of appetite
  • Withdrawal from household activities
  • Lower energy levels
  • Heightened anxiety or restlessness
  • Searching for the lost loved one
  • Sleeping more
  • Unusual aggressive or destructive behavior
  • Inappropriate elimination in the home
  • Separation anxiety

Animals may experience many of these symptoms or none of them. Each individual displays their grief in their own way based on their feelings and relationship with the deceased. A dog may even go through the mourning process for a companion that has not died but simply moved away.

There seems to be some controversy about the level to which animals can understand the process and permanence of death. Some scientists believe that dogs experience grief and loss in a way similar to a 5-year-old child mourning the loss of a companion but not understanding that it is permanent. 

When humans are separated from their loved ones they experience the sadness and depression associated with loss whether the loved one has died or simply moved far away. It may be a similar process for animals. They may believe themselves to be alone, their friend is gone and therefore they grieve. The process of mourning and the associated feelings seem to be the same in any case. 

My Experience With Loss

In my personal experience, my feelings of sadness and the loss of a beloved pet are very much about being left without them. My physical senses long to touch them and feel their soft coat, to interact and play with them, to feel them sleeping at my feet, and therefore experience the happiness and joy that this companionship brings into my daily life. My personal belief system tells me that the Spirit of my pet survives the loss of the physical body and goes on to “live” in another form. Knowing this brings me joy about their continued existence and yet my grief is very real as I remain here without them.

In my professional experience as an animal communicator, I have had numerous experiences that reinforce my belief that consciousness survives the death of the physical body. On many occasions, a family pet will acknowledge the death and loss of another family pet but reassure us that “he comes back to visit often”. These family pets seem to regret and mourn the separation from their friend yet feel comforted that they are still here in a different form. These animals seem to have a sense of death that is different from our human sense. We tend to feel that death is a final end, a permanent loss of all we knew of our loved ones. The animals have shared that it is more like saying “Bon voyage, I will see you again one day.”

I joyfully look forward to the days that I will be visited again by the Spirit forms of all my beloved and departed pets. This thought helps to ease the pain of my loss and grief.

Helping Your Pet Through the Mourning Process

You can help your family pet to move through their feelings of mourning by gently encouraging them into interaction and play or offering their favorite treats. Guiding them back into connection with others may relieve or distract them from their sadness. Be gentle, never forcing them, but offering opportunities to reconnect when they feel ready to return to their ordinary routines. Time and connection with others are the only true cures for mourning.

Do I Really Need a Pet Communicator Near Me?

Have you ever been on Google searching for something and you start to type your inquiry only to have Google pretty much complete your thought for you? Pretty scary, huh? Today’s technology can feel a bit eerie, and yet, it’s often unerring. One of the most popular phrases it autocompletes is “near me”, especially when a professional service is being sought. In many instances, this is very helpful since we would typically need someone “near me” if we are seeking a professional such as a plumber, hair stylist, or veterinarian. However, when it comes to partnering with a Professional Animal Communicator, pet people need not seek one located in their neighborhood. There are many choices these days.

Finding a Pet Communicator

If you find yourself in need of a pet communicator to help lend insight into a health or behavior problem with your pet, you don’t need to search “pet psychic near me” or “animal communicator in Maryland”. It would be better to use terms relevant to the problem you are experiencing, with search phrases such as “animal communicator to help with lameness in my horse”, “pet communicator to help with training problems with my dog”, “animal communicator to help my new rescue kitten”, or “pet medical intuitive to help my rabbit”. Technically, these are called long-tailed keywords so Google looks at each of the keywords to help give you better answers. If you were to use all of the search phrases listed above, each one would lead you to a varied list of professionals, each with their own specialty or expertise. 

As your search results appear, you will be able to read an excerpt about the webpage results and determine what links you want to click on. When you land on a website, you can then start to look at whether or not you see yourself working with that professional, based on the information they provide. 

Location is Not a Factor for All Pet Communicators

When you get to a website, let’s say for a pet communicator, and you see that they are not located in your town or even state, don’t fret! When it comes to animal communication I have found that time zone and distance do not seem to matter. I have worked with cats in Abu Dhabi, elephants in Africa, dogs in the Philippines, horses in the UK, and groundhogs in the USA. 

The one limiting factor I’ve found is that the human client and I need to have a common language and that for me, is English. When I communicate with animals, I am also using a common language but not that of spoken English. The animals and I transfer thoughts, feelings, and ideas between us telepathically in the form of mental images, emotions, and physical sensations. This type of “data in energy form” does not seem to be restricted by distance or language. Perhaps it is similar to the way radio stations or TV channels can broadcast across great distances.

Pet Communication Via Phone

Not all pet communications or pet psychics work the same way. Some people prefer to be at the site in person with the animal while communicating. Others request that their clients submit a list of questions that will be answered via email. Most will do a consultation over the phone with the client and that is how I prefer to work.

I have done many consultations in person with my clients and at busy pet fairs but these loud and high-energy environments are not always the best for this type of work. When I am communicating with an animal, I prefer to sit quietly with my eyes closed. I enter a state of deep mental quiet where I begin to receive mental images from the animal. For me, it is like watching a video download in my mind’s eye. Along with the imagery, I receive emotions and physical sensations that I feel in my own body. When I sit in a quiet environment I can perceive these sensations in all of their small nuances. I prefer to be connected with the pet guardian by phone so that I can share a real-time verbal conversation with them as I send and receive thoughts with their pet. In this way, it is like sharing a 3-way conversation or working with a language translator. The person can have a conversation with their pet in a way that would not be possible by email with a pet communicator. 

Pet Communication Works Globally

I have worked with clients all over the world and their feedback tells me that it works with only the potential inconvenience of our different time zones. So when searching for a pet communicator or pet psychic, ask your friends for referrals. Social media has really expanded our social circle so don’t be afraid to inquire there. You no longer need to search only “near me”. The right match might be in your own neighborhood or across the globe but your pet won’t care either way. Make the call, open the conversation, and delve into new levels of relationship with the animals you love.
