A year after Darby was adopted from a rescue, he hadn’t settled into his forever home and exhibited high anxiety in public and around strangers.  Plenty of love, sessions with trainers, and lots of exercise had nominal impact on his anxiety.  An animal communicator was hired to see if Darby could provide insights and information as to “why” he  was anxious and “what” could be done to ease his anxiety.

The communicator relayed all information and insights received from Darby. That information  led to major changes, and the changes resulted in behavior that prompted neighbors to ask if it was the “same dog.”

Given the observable positive impact on Darby, the  obvious question was -could animal communication be a useful tool for rescues and shelters?

An online search revealed communication with animals was neither “new” nor rare.  For decades private clients have hired animal communicators to get information that could improve their animals’ lives and deepen their relationship.  The websites showcase testimonials about the benefits to the animals and their humans.  However, the search didn’t locate any programs or organizations that focused on providing animal communication to rescues or shelters.
