Can You Hear Me?

Have you ever wondered if your dog can hear what you're thinking? You think that it might be time to go outside to play ball, and before you even move a muscle, your dog is bounding to the door. Most people shrug it off, or think it is a coincidence. This is actually animal communication in it's most basic form.

Some animals are more sensitive to receiving information then others, and some have 'selective hearing'. When I first started learning animal communication, I wasn't convinced my pets could 'hear' what I was sending them. Thankfully, I have an African Grey parrot who was happy to help out. She would often whistle songs I was singing in my head, or we would say the same thing at the same time. It is easier to know they can hear you when they speak English too!

It can be a little bit tougher with other types of animals. One day, I decided to try a little experiment with my Savannah cat, Zeddie. Ever since Zeddie was little, we would play hide and seek. I would chase her to a room, then turn around and hide quickly. She would then come to find me, which never took her long. On this day, I decided to hide in the stairwell, just a few feet from where Zeddie was, while picturing myself hiding in our shower. I closed my eyes and mentally conveyed the image I would see if I were to hide in the shower...the mirror, seeing Zeddie exit the room to look for me, the anticipation.... 
Sure enough, when Zeddie came to find me, she walked right past my actual hiding spot of the stairwell and hopped into the shower looking for me! 

Even if you have a pet with 'selective hearing', try making it into a game, and see if they are picking up on mental cues from you!
