Your Pawliday Season Shopping Guide Dear Inquisitive Dog Guardians, The holiday season is a popular time of year for adopting pets – with cats and dogs being firmly at the top of the list. It’s also a time for giving. Combine the two and you end up with many folks finding companion animals on their hearth decked out in big fancy bows!

The time change (Daylight Savings Time ending) is on Sunday, November 5th, 2023* *for the USA and certain other countries – check specific dates for other countries here I’ve seen a lot of posts about the time changes and how it affects our pets. How can you tell your pet about the time change? Don’t leave them in the dark about it, or they will be confused and confounded when nothing happens according to their routine and schedule. And a confused being can be unstable, fretful, acting out in weird ways, and it can even affect their health and wellbeing. Just this morning, I got an email from a concerned dog parent. He said: So I’m already an early riser as if you can’t tell. But as I was walking my dog at 5:15 am this morning, I started to think 4:15 am is a bit too early. But time […]

Intuitive development exercises with animal communication An animal communication student asked, “If my intuition scores on the cards/colors intuition development exercise continue to be average or below….is there a point to continuing?” She’s referring to one of the many Intuition Development Exercises and Lessons I created especially for our animal communication Animal Talk Coaching & Mastery Club members.

How does your own mood affect how you communicate with animals? My animal communication student Sandy asked, “Can you communicate with animals successfully while you are stressed, physically and mentally tired, at a low ebb, or, would the information be the same if you were alert, prepared and ‘raring’ to talk to the animal?” via GIPHY Being alert, prepared and “raring” to talk with an animal can actually be off-putting to the animal IF, in your eagerness, you are pushing your thoughts, energy, emotions and agendas onto them. Because when you do that, you may not be listening to them as much as you are overwhelming them with your energy. The KEY to good communication isn’t so much about your stress or fatigue or energy levels. It is about your ability to shift out of your head and into your soul (“heart”) and enter an open, feeling state of beingness. […]
