Tips on Animal Communication 
 
Some tips I find helpful:
 
Find your own space and time and make it happen.
 
For noises that distract you, wear ear plugs.
 
Believe in your own ability as much as you admire other's abilities.
 
 
Adjacent to my pasture is a pasture full of cows and amongst them is a miniature donkey named Billy.  Billy has the loudest and sweetest bray I have ever heard.  He is not people friendly and I can understand why.  I had noticed that Billy's halter was growing into his nose.  I spoke with Billy's person and offered one of my own halters to replace Billy's.  With his help, we were able to catch Billy and change his halter.  I could tell Billy was lonely.  I always have carrots for my horses and wanted to share and treat Billy as well.  I knew this was a perfect opportunity for me to communicate with Billy.  I took his picture and had a session with him.  I told him that when he saw me at the barn I would treat him with carrots if he would just bray for me.  The next day, I was at the barn and well...the braying began and it hasn't stopped since.  It was a great validation for me.  Whenever I doubt the possib ility of communicating with animals, Billy almost daily reminds me that communicating with animals is real.  Thank you Billy.

Call to Action
 
What will happen to your pets when you are gone?  If you have made provisions for their care, you may be surprised to learn that most states don't recognize the rights of pet owners to create trusts for their animals.  And there are no federal laws either.  A bill has been introduced in Congress under the federal tax code to provide for long-term care of beloved companion animals.  Contact your legislators to ask for their support of The Charitable Remainder Pet Trusts Act at  Humane Society Legislative Fund
Animal Stories 

Rayna was a 13-14 year old Rottweiler who had always been healthy and happy.  She was old for a Rottweiler but she was still the picture of health.  Rayna loved her life and brought great joy to her family.  She enjoyed looking out for everyone and making sure they were all safe.  Doug was her special person, the one that she looked out for.  And she happily lived up to her name which meant Queen.

 

Little by little, Rayna started having trouble keeping her food down.  At first, it happened occasionally and gradually became an everyday occurrence.  Doug took her to several vets trying to diagnose the problem.  No one could come up with an answer.  Rayna continued to suffer bouts of vomiting.  Doug was really getting worried about her.

 
Testimonials and Your Letters 
 
Dear Carol:
 
As part of my attempt to start the New Year off right, I am writing notes of gratitude to various people who have been especially giving, loving, and helpful to me on my journey.  Where do I begin?  My life has been so enriched since I became your student over a year ago. The gift of learning animal communication has so deepened my understanding and compassion for my animals and really, all living things as well.  In addition to this, as I have strengthened my own intuition through this work, I have become more peaceful and grounded in my daily life, and how wonderful this is.  It is as if by taking the time to learn this skill, something clicked within my psyche allowing for a greater harmony in many other areas of my life as well.  So I am very grateful for the work that you do, and do so gracefully and beautifully - with such joy, patience, compassion, professionalism and amazing accuracy and skill.  You are very appreciated!  I look forwa rd to working with you again this year.

Through the Eyes of your Animals - Learn the Lessons of Love
 
A significant effect of this workshop for me was realizing my animals are in my life for reasons of their own!  I always viewed myself as their caretaker, playmate, protector and provider of unquestioning love...and only wanted their love and companionship in return.  I never thought there was anything else!  Now I realize they have their own purposes:  their own lessons to teach me.  Carol's seminar opened my eyes to these lessons and has given me the opportunity to have a richer and broader relationship with the animals in my life.

Are all Animal Communicators Pet Psychics?
 
My viewpoint on the subject, as expressed in my book, The Language of Animals by Bantam Dell, and taught in my workshops throughout the world has been to keep things SIMPLE AND PURE.  I belive there is a big difference between communicator and psychic.  My belief is strong enough to have turned down a 3-book deal from a publisher because all 3 books had the word psychic in the title and that would be a direct conflict with my belief.
 
My philosophy has been this.  Animal Communication is a language of its own.  Learning to communicate with animals is analogous to learning a foreign language like French, Italian, Spanish, etc.  It is a language that just comes in a different package/form than what we are used to (as hearing a person's voice and having their lips move).  An animal communicator has a direct two-way conversation with an animal; just like a person would communicate with another person - SIMPLE.  Even when the animal has passed on, you can engage with the animal directly and have a two-way conversation with the animal.
