• Plan ahead.
• Schedule your appointment at a time when you can be free of distractions.
• Think about the core issues that you need to address. Let’s focus on those first.
• Write yourself a brief list of key topics or concerns that you would like to cover during your session. During animal communication, many interesting or unexpected topics can arise. A short list can help you stay focused on your main concerns.
• Give some thought to your goal or desired outcome from the session. It is always easier for you and your pet to achieve a clearly defined goal.
• Keep in mind that animals think in pictures, not in the English language. The most productive questions are those that can be visualized, as if watching a video clip.
• Call in promptly at your scheduled appointment time. There may not be time available to extend a session that begins late.
• If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, do so at least 24 hours in advance. See my cancellation policy here.
• Relax, do your best to release powerful emotions such as fear and anger. Animals are very perceptive to human emotions, strong ones can overwhelm them.
• Remain open minded and receptive to the unexpected. Deciding ahead of time what you will hear can cause you to miss exciting new insights.
• Animals experience our world differently. Allow the animal to express its unique perception of the situation. Allow room for flexibility and compromise. “Different” does not equal “wrong”. Ask questions. This is your time; please ask whenever you need clarification of something discussed during the session.
• Take notes or order a recording of your session. There may be some surprises that you won’t want to miss. The human brain cannot absorb or maintain all of the details covered during a session. Often the key discoveries are found later in the tiny details. Read your notes after a day or two, you will be surprised at how much now fits into place.
• Use your new insights to develop a realistic plan of action in cooperation with your other animal care professionals. “If you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting what you have always gotten.” Take responsibility and follow through with your action plan to create lasting change and harmony in your human/animal partnerships.

And Have Fun!
