Connecting Beyond Words: Intuitive Communication With Our Dogs

She is blind. He is her eyes.

I’ve seen this image many times on social media, and it never fails to touch me to the point of tearing up.

Blind trust. Literally.

They don’t talk and she can’t see, yet they communicate, understand each other, trust each other.

It’s one of the many things we can learn from dogs - we don’t need words to communicate and feel deeply connected to another soul, whatever the species.

Dogs speak to us all the time, through their body language and beyond.

The “beyond” piece is fascinating to me.

We’ve all heard stories, or experienced for ourselves, moments when dogs “speak” to us - in the form of an image, a sensation, a sound, in a way the rational mind can’t follow or comprehend.

It’s the thing with intuition .. the knowing beyond the rational mind.

Never wrong.

Not always easy to identify.

Harder still to trust after decades of being trained to be suspicious of anything the rational mind can’t dissect and explain in great detail.

But anyone I’ve ever spoken to about intuition agrees - when we trust it, things work out. When we ignore it, things go pear-shaped 🤪

This week’s Pawsome Human noticed that she received clear messages from her animals, and she decided to follow the nudge and explore the world of animal communication, to the point of turning it into her business.

This week’s Pawsome Human: Maribeth Decker - Intuitive Animal Communicator

Maribeth and I met thanks to the introduction from a common friend (thank you, Noleen :-)

For this episode, we had a delightful conversation about her journey into this unique field (starting out as a Navy officer!!) and how she helps people and their pets.

Maribeth shared heartwarming stories of connecting with dogs and cats, offering insights and healing through intuitive communication.

We explored how animal communication can help with solving behavioral issues, understanding end-of-life transitions, and building stronger connections with our beloved animals.

If you've ever wondered how to tap into your intuitive side and communicate with your dog, this episode is a must-listen!

First speaker preview - How to Help Dogs Heal QUICKLY and Compassionately with Annie Phenix

A major complaint about force free training for troubled dogs is that it can be SLOW. Trainer and Bestselling Author Annie Phenix shares what she learned for the 16 world-class canine experts she interviewed in her new book about how to teach dogs to self-regulate their emotions and how to calm a dog's nervous system through creating DEEP SAFETY (a term coined by Dr. Laura Donaldson).
