Why Animal Communication?
 “After
the shifts I’ve seen in both Indy and Cujo, I can’t pass up the
opportunity to share with anyone I know experiencing behavior issues with
their animals!”

Animal Connections Class Starts January 18
We were all born with the gift of wordless communication and
it’s surprisingly simple to remember and regain this ability when it
comes to animals. It just takes some openness, instruction, coaching, and
practice, practice, practice.
“The class was the highlight of
my week! It was a fun and relaxing environment where I was able to learn
through a variety of modalities. Using humor and a gentle way, Shannon helped me to realize how I could improve my
rapport with animals and all of nature. I learned using my whole body and was
able to feel confident in my ability to better connect with everyone.”

Update on Animal
Communication Rates
As of January 1, 2007 I have began charging for the 10 minutes
of prep time I invest prior to any telephone animal consultation and
body|energywork.
You see while our consultation may begin at 9 a.m., I begin my
work at 8.45 or 8.50 – preparing to establish a strong connection and
accurately relate what your animal companion is communicating. This prep time
is the foundation of a successful session. Just as important, this change is
a step toward being able to do this work full-time.
My base rate of $1 per minute / $60 per hour remains the same.
And as always, I thank you for the blessing of your support. J Learn more.
Animal
Communication Helps Teach an Old, Deaf Dog New Tricks (Part 1)
I thought I was helping when I suggested my dear friend Nancy purchase a ramp so
her arthritic Border Collie Kelly could easily get in and out of the car.
That was until Nancy
called and announced Kelly wouldn’t go near the ramp.
I really couldn’t blame Kelly. As Nancy’s car leases ended she
transitioned to taller and larger vehicles to accommodate her many
grandchildren. And while Kelly was easily able to leap in and out of an SUV
when she was younger, lighter model, things were different now. In addition
to being an older, less athletic dog, Kelly’s vision was dimming and
her arthritis was increasing … and that meant that when she leapt to
enter the car, and missed, she fell and fell hard. The fact that she was
having trouble making it onto the sofa in the house did not bode well for
leaping into a giant SUV.
While Kelly had once been overjoyed to ride around town with
her mom, she was no longer interested in the car and was in fact beginning to
associate it with pain. In addition to the leaps, misses and thuds,
Kelly’s arthritis was such that when she needed to be transported
somewhere, to the vet for example, she had to be hoisted into the car while
her mom or dad held her mouth shut to prevent Kelly from biting out of
discomfort as she was moved. …Which was why all signs seemed to point
to a ramp.
Now before I get any further, allow me to note that Kelly is
also profoundly deaf, so there wasn’t going to be any persuasion of the
verbal kind.
To continue, the first time I saw the ramp extended from the
back of the SUV to the ground I had second thoughts myself. I looked at the
ramp’s box, complete with pictures of dogs gladly, joyously even, trotting up and down the ramp. And I looked at the
steep pitch of the ramp from Nancy’s
vehicle to the ground. I looked at the note that said the ramp would
accommodate 200 pounds. And I looked at the four-foot drop from the back of
the SUV to the ground. And I looked at Kelly. And I thought, “Smart
dog.” (Ha ha ha ha ha.)
Who would have guessed that after a few animal communication /
training sessions, Kelly would elect to use the ramp on her own?
Find out how it all came
together (and see a picture of a very proud Kelly) in the next newsletter.
Thank You for Your Referrals
Several people have asked me lately, “Is it alright if I
share your information with other people?” Absolutely! Your referrals
serve as a triple blessing by helping me help humans deepen their
