The First Step in Resolving Behavior Problems With Your Dog, Cat or Horse By Val Heart

How much time do you spend going over things that have happened to you, reliving old conversations, events or experiences?  How much time do you worry about the future?  About what’s going to happen later today, what you still have to do, what you’re doing tomorrow, this weekend or next month?

Nothing wrong with that except this… To your animal, it means ‘nobody’s home’.  You’re not there, present 100% with them.  And that leads them to do all kinds of things to get your attention.  Acting out, behaving badly, even getting sick… all because you’re not paying attention.

It also encourages them to try to figure you out – you’re like a giant puzzle in their life.  Who are you anyway?  They worry about you… because it’s not normal in the animal kingdom to not be conscious, aware, fully present at all times.  If they did that, they wouldn’t survive!

But what do most of us humans do?  We’re busy, mentally, emotionally and physically.  We are either thinking about the future or the past.  We got static on the brain and are constantly multitasking.

Our fast paced, highly technological culture presents a huge problem for your dog, cat and horse and is a source of much confusion, harm and even benign neglect. We’re simply not consciously aware or fully present with them.

They have an infinite wisdom and knowledge they could share with you… and all you have to do is pay attention. When your cat jumps on your lap or pats you with their paw or purrs so loud you can hear them across the room, they have something important to share with you.

All animals but especially cats are unhappy with your lack of presence.  They’ll do the darndest things to get your attention back to the present where it belongs.  Like rearranging your desk, peeing anywhere they choose to, hiding out, attacking you when you least expect, crying all the time, even resorting in extreme cases to angrily biting and scratching you with their lethally sharp claws… ouch!

To resolve this problem, you must learn to be fully present so you can listen to them through the power of animal communication.  Resolving any bad behavior problem starts with presenting yourself properly and having a heart to heart conversation.  That helps you know where the trouble is actually coming from… are they confused?  Is there a problem in their environment?  Are they afraid?  Angry?  Have they lost their trust in you, your family or life?  Are they not feeling well?

The first part of solving any problem is identifying it properly in the first place.

If you’re having a problem with your animal, they are asking you to pay attention.  You can prevent a lot of problems just by listening to them, being fully present.

One of my clients, Laura, had a cat who was in serious trouble.  Barney hid in the closet all the time, he cried a lot, he slept a lot.  He wasn’t using his litter box.  He wasn’t eating and had lost so much weight he was just skin and bones.  Laura spent a great deal of money, time and effort trying to find out what was wrong with him with little result.

Laura was afraid he was dying, and she was right, he would have died if she hadn’t contacted me when she did.  He was stuck in a lot of emotional and mental pain and couldn’t find his way out of the dark place.

When I talked with him, I had to be fully present and listen to him very carefully.  It turned out that he’d had a frightening experience at the vets when they did his dental cleaning that he needed to talk about. Once he understood what had happened to him, he felt safe to resume his life and be the happy, laid back, loving kitty companion he’d always been.

In the Learn Animal Communication in one Weekend™ Virtual Retreat, we practice a powerful exercise designed to teach you how to be fully present, peaceful, consciously aware.  Not only does this exercise improve the quality of your life, it’s an incredibly powerful state of being.

Your animals need you to be here now in order for you to help them, to hear them, and to protect them.

Want to feel how it feels to be fully present, alive, and able to connect and communicate with your animals?  You can easily shift your energy in just a few simple steps.

Notice any tension in your body, and rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10.  How present are you right now? One on the scale is not at all present and 10 is being fully 100% present.  Any answer you get is fine, there is no right answer.  Just take a minute to notice where you are right now.

Now, breathe deeply, relax and be heavy in your chair, and drop any tension in your body starting from your head and flowing through your fingers and toes into the earth.  Let yourself calm and settle.

Notice any busy thoughts and give yourself permission to give them appropriate attention later, but not right now.  Next, give yourself permission in body, mind and spirit to be fully present right now.

Focus on and feel your heart.  Image your animal friend and let yourself feel how grateful you are they are in your life.  Now, open your eyes and notice what’s different.  Where are you on the scale now?  What has changed with your animal?

Empower yourself by deciding right now to make a habit of being fully present each and every day.

A funny thing happens when you do that.  Others will feel more present too, your animals will be able to share their heart and mind with you more, and your relationships will have the opportunity to go deeper, become richer, and more nurturing.

Are Animals Natural Healers? – A Cat’s Purr-fect Healing Frequency

Val Heart is an animal communicator who works with health and behavior issues with animals.

Many animals are healers.  For instance, science has shown that all cats from all around the world purr at the same frequency.  Further, they’ve discovered that that exact frequency when applied to bone and tissue accelerates healing!

As you allow yourself to see and respect animals as intelligent, responsive beings with spiritual qualities that we can admire and learn from, you’ll begin to know them at a much deeper level.  And they’ll respond to you like you’re more intelligent as well.  (I can’t tell you how often I hear from our animal friends how dense they think their humans are, and how hard it is for them to communicate with us!)

Some years ago my husband and I had two cats that shared our home with us.  When my husband laid down, whether for a nap or at night, one specific cat, TuffyTiger, would go directly to his chest and liver areas and start to vigorously purr and knead his body.  She would eventually settle and rest with him, all the while purring loudly.  We thought it was the cutest thing.  This went on for well over a year. Each time he laid down there TuffyTiger would be, always purring.

My husband wasn’t feeling any pain or showing any signs of illness, so we just thought she was being very loving toward him.  He got to where he sought her out because he always felt so peaceful and relaxed, and said he could sleep better with her there.  He also said he noticed that he would wake up from their time together feeling more refreshed.

After almost 18 years of marriage, my husband and I divorced.  Shortly afterward he noticed pain in his chest and stomach, and only then did they discover that he had liver cancer.  Within 10 months he passed away from cancer.

We didn’t know it at the time, but my husband had cancer throughout his body.  TuffyTiger had been healing and working with him for over 10 years, and had successfully been keeping cancer at bay with her purring and earnest, loving ministrations.

The next time a cat gifts you with their purr let yourself feel how deep into your own body the vibration goes.  Also notice where it is directed.  Often a cat will specifically choose where it sits with their human friend(s) – and the site is usually a problem area.  It could be a knee, organ or injured area that your friend is attempting to help you with.

I’ve even seen cats who literally configure their bodies to flow the energy in a specific pattern, channeling degenerative and destructive energy lodged in ‘hot’ areas into shut down, ‘cold’ areas that need it.

Take a moment to thank them, offering gratitude for their ministering to you. Breathe with the purr, and allow yourself to vibrate as deeply as possible.

For all you know, they are healing you in the same way that shamans and healers have for centuries!

Do You Know Your Animals True Name?

Top Animal Names - animals know what they would like to be named.

Years ago I was called in to assist a well known and respected quarter horse trainer with a mare he was having trouble with. When I arrived at the ranch, we walked over to her stall and I introduced myself.

He went on to explain that she just didn’t seem to understand what he wanted her to do.He’d worked with her for several months now and wasn’t getting anywhere.Although he was very patient and careful to explain things, he’d begun to wonder if she was in pain, or maybe she was ‘slow in the head’…or maybe she was just in the wrong line of work – even though she had all the genetics she needed for the job.

He felt he’d tried everything he knew from his many years of working with horses, but was well and truly stumped.As a last resort, he’d asked me to communicate with her to see what was wrong.If that didn’t help turn things around, he was going to have to give up and send her back to her owner.

Dogs Behaving Badly? Learn 6 signs of Issues

There could be many factors in bad dog behavior. Speaking with your dog is the surest way to get to the root cause.

Is your animal behaving badly? Bad behavior by your favorite pet(s) may be a sign of psychological issues such as depression or grieving. Knowing whether an issue with your pet(s) is psychological or physical can save unwanted and unneeded medical treatments. Learn the six signs of depression and/or psychological issues.

“When Dr Joey contacted me, he wanted my help with his dogs. He had been putting up with really bad behavior from them for a long time. He was grieving terribly for his Forever Dog Friend, Satin, who had passed away.

On top of that, his other best dog friend, Shami, had also recently passed away after a terrible and mysterious illness. He told me his heart was so heavy with grief that he just didn’t know how he could go on. His health was very bad (he was suffering from cancer) and he could hardly move because he was in so much pain.

To complicate matters, his remaining three dogs were out of control. They jumped on everyone, which was terribly embarrassing. They barked and would not quiet down, and they urinated in the house. One dog would go outside — then come back inside to pee! Dutchess was physically launching an attack on the front door anytime someone just walked by, and since the door was largely glass, Dr Joey was afraid she’d break the door and hurt herself in the process!

He couldn’t take them for walks because they would pull in all directions and one dog would have to be dragged along… terribly frustrating and dangerous for all of them.

Plus, little Zena and Zoey were afraid to go outside. And, to make matters even worse, they had begun fighting amongst themselves. He desperately wanted them to behave and didn’t understand why they weren’t.
