Inner Healing for Animal Communication, Avoiding Triggers to Be Proficient Being successful in communicating with animals (defined as confident, competent and accurate) starts with a single basic premise: you have to understand yourself in order to understand – and be understood by – the animals. New students who’ve not worked on healing their inner wounds often think, “I really want to communicate with my pet to find out how they feel and why they’re behaving badly, but when I try to talk to them, I don’t get anything back.” Has that ever happened to you? There are several things that can be going wrong. For today, let’s talk about one of the BIGGIES that isn’t talked about very often, or is misunderstood. Because it’s never the case that your pet doesn’t want to communicate with you. The problem is more about your ability to connect properly, to hear their voice […]

You have been on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter for a few years now, and you love posting fun little anecdotes and photos about your life, work, and beloved kitties. In fact, you like being on social media so much, you think it might have started to rub off on your cats—as soon as they see you sit down at your computer they hop up on the desk and try to lie down on the keyboard.

Tips for moving with your pet Relocating to a different state or home is very stressful. From packing up your entire home’s contents, utilizing storage units for an easier move, getting your finances in order, and arranging travel and flight plans (if necessary), there’s so much to do. But when you have a pet, the stress is overwhelming. Thoughts start tickling through your mind: will my dog like the new home? Will my cat transition well? If there are other dogs around, will my dog get along well? Is the neighborhood pet friendly?

This article was previously published June 26, 2014, and was updated on June 8, 2023 Can you really have both pets and a clean home? Life doesn’t get much better than being greeted at the door by a four-legged friend who’s always delighted to see you.

There’s no need to live a fur-covered life. The latest home decor options can provide you with (nearly) dander-free digs without endless cleaning and vacuuming. Upholstered Furnishings Despite your best efforts, sofas and couches tend to get the most wear and tear, especially with the help of our feline and canine counterparts.
