Belief and Trust in Animal Communication

Kelly Krueger — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 21:29:11 +0000

I get it. Animal communication is hard to wrap our brains around. There is no widely known scientific explanation for it. It takes a lot of trust, and an ongoing belief that animal communication works. Belief and trust can be really hard to hold on to when we experience a ”hear one thing, but observe the opposite” phenomenon during an animal communication session.

There are several examples of clients receiving information from their pet that doesn’t directly align with their observations: a very finicky cat asks for a food that seems extremely inconsistent with her previous desires; a dog asks for a new animal companion but all his encounters with dogs on walks or in the park are less than friendly; a fearful animal suddenly requests an activity that has previously been unpleasant.

Happy Family

I had this exact experience recently with my own companion and I found myself needing to practice what I ask my clients to do – trust their pet and believe in their communication. My girl pug dog is not the friendliest when it comes to other dogs entering our home. I observe either pouting and isolation or flat-out aggression, and sometimes she decides to make her point very clear by exhibiting both behaviors.

When I heard her ask over and over again for a new dog companion I had this same “hear one thing, but observe the opposite” phenomenon. It took a lot of belief in the animal communication process and a lot of trust that she was sincerely asking for a companion to share our home.

I agreed to “practice what I preach” and put my trust and belief in animal communication and in my girl-dog’s sincerity when voicing her desires for a new companion. I agreed to turn it over to her, and in less than a week she identified and orchestrated the perfect new dog coming to live with us. And it worked! From the moment the boy Husky arrived, she welcomed him with open paws. Trusting in animal communication brought us a new animal companion. My girl pug is happy, and she’s been a rock star at welcoming the new guy and sharing her space. I’m so glad I believed!

Article: Kelly Krueger Provides a Voice for Your Pet’s Needs and Emotions

Kelly Krueger Provides a Voice for Your Pet’s Needs and Emotions (click to see full article)

By Sarah Schraad

Are you or your family heading on vacation this summer? And if so, have you told your pets what is in store for them while you are away? Kelly Krueger, owner of Articulate Animals, can help you pass along the message. A professional animal communicator, Krueger says that it is important your pet understands when and why you are going away…and that you’re coming back.

Kelly Krueger, Animal Communicator

“More and more people are utilizing animal communication for a variety of situations like vacation preparation, as well as behavioral problems and health concerns,” says Krueger. “By enlisting an animal communicator, individuals can deepen their relationship and understanding of their pets, as well as obtain information about a particular issue that can then be used to benefit both the family and the animal.”

Born and raised on a Wyoming cattle ranch, animals have always been part of Krueger’s life. Based in Evergreen, she launched Articulate Animals in 2007 and has worked with clients in nearly every US state as well as around the world in places like India, Australia, and Ireland.

While the majority of her consultations are with dogs, cats, and horses, Krueger has also worked with birds, rabbits, iguanas, and more. She connects telepathically with the animal in an effort to better understand a variety of issues, for example, why the pet behaves a specific way around strangers. In the event of a health concern, Krueger can help identify where an animal’s physical discomfort exists, which can then be shared with the family’s veterinarian. She also helps animals prepare for upcoming household changes such as a new baby, loss of a loved one, or moving to a new home.

“Most pet owners speak with their pets daily, usually to accomplish a specific task or correct a behavior,” Krueger says. “While we know our animals listen to us, it may not be as clear that our animals are also speaking to us with the same purpose and intent. I help individuals better understand what their pets are saying and feeling, because once those details are uncovered, harmony and balance can be restored.”

While there will always be skeptics, Krueger says that once an individual actually experiences the benefits and sees the results – such as a strange behavior that abruptly stops following a consultation – they recognize that animal communication does work and can improve the health and happiness of an animal.

“All of my clients have the same goal in mind, which is to gain a better understanding of their pet’s overall well-being and ensure the animal is content and feels loved. I can think of no better reward than helping my clients achieve a stronger relationship with their animal companion,” she adds.

More information is available on Kelly’s website, www.articulateanimals.com, including first-hand testimonials about her work and information on upcoming classes on animal communication.

Practice Communicating with Your Animals

Kelly Krueger — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 23:04:36 +0000

I am excited to offer (new for 2011) the “Deepening Connections Practice Series,” a regularly scheduled tele-class for those who would like practice and a little more instruction on communicating with animals.

Join me, Kelly Krueger, for quarterly animal communication practice sessions to deepen your ability to connect directly with your pets. Each 45-minute tele-session will include instruction and tips for successful communications with animals, a brief guided meditation, and two topics to explore with your pets. If the topic of the session does not directly apply to your own animals you may practice with a friend’s or family member’s pet.

Dates and topics for 2011 include:

March 16, 2011 – Tips for communicating with our aging animals, including encouragement and support as their body changes, understanding stiffness and discomfort, and setting the stage for the future when a more detailed discussion about end-of-life topics will be appropriate. Litter box and house training communications will also be included in this practice session. If you have a new animal companion, we will discuss how to set expectations and house rules regarding pet hygiene.

June 8, 2011- Preparing our pets for family vacations and the pet’s care options will be discussed and practiced. We will also consider the addition of a new animal family member - the short-term disruption this may cause your existing pets and how to telepathically welcome your new family member into the fold while establishing house guidelines from the beginning.

September 21, 2011- This practice session will include instruction on working with a variety of pet behaviors. Generic communications will be discussed, and a few specific behavioral issues will be practiced. For those with holiday house guests arriving, we will practice preparing our pets for the holiday, preparing for holiday visitors, and helping our pets understand the short-term changes in household routines.

December 7, 2011 – The final practice session of 2011 will include development of appropriate telepathic communications to encourage healthy social behaviors with other animals as well as humans (playing nice at the dog park, and saying hello to Aunt Jane when she visits, for example). Included in this session and the topic of social behaviors will be social play time. This may include setting appropriate play expectations for your obsessive ball chaser, or a kitty who insists on playtime in middle of the night!

We all can communicate telepathically with animals – it just takes practice!

Take the 24-hour Pet Communication Challenge

Kelly Krueger — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 15:51:52 +0000

Are you up for a challenge? You can do it, I promise! It’s simple.

Objective: Spend the next 24 hours joyfully communicating all the wonderful things you know about your pet

Rationale: This challenge reminds us just how simple it is to express our love and our expectations to our pets in a way that encourages their enthusiastic participation

Steps:

1. Identify 2-3 items you wish to work on with your pet, or recent successes which you wish to reinforce

2. For 24 hours, be conscious of communicating with your pet, both out-loud and silently, in an encouraging, positive, and compassionate way

That’s it! I told you – simple! To help you with your challenge, here are a few examples. Some may apply directly to your own topics, or you can use these examples to create your own reinforcing communications.

House training example: Perhaps your dog has been properly house broken for some time, with only the occasional accident due to a short-term virus or a moment of extreme excitement. At some point in the day, unrelated to a bathroom break (or mistake), simply affirm the great job they’ve been doing: “You are my great go-outside-to-go-potty boy, Rover.” Do they know exactly what the words mean? No, but in that moment of expressing your sincere appreciation of a consistent job well-done, you will feel joyful at the success and you will automatically envision the several productive trips outside for appropriate elimination. The words of affirmation help you to feel and envision your expression of joy and congratulations and that is what your pet will understand and respond to.

New companion example: Perhaps you have introduced a new kitty to your family of cats. It is never too late to appreciate and affirm the wonderful integration (even if it isn’t consistently wonderful yet!) offered by your existing cats. “Fluffy, I am so proud of what an excellent big sister you are!” Your sincere expression of the welcoming nature of Fluffy, even if Fluffy still has an occasional hiss-fit toward the new kitten, sets a joyful, compassionate expectation which will eventually be fulfilled.

Weight loss example: If your horse enjoys chomping on all the fresh, tender spring grass and has plumped up a bit, you can encourage him through his weight loss regimen: “What a handsome, svelte, and energetic stud you are, Poco!” The tone and content of this affirmation, given randomly and with no direct affiliation to mealtime, helps both you and your horse to remember the goal and see the successful outcome which will soon be realized.

Aging example: My own 11 year old dog still loves her walks, but I notice that its taking a little longer to complete our usual loop. It is healthy for both the human and the animal to accept and acknowledge some of the typical aging issues that might begin to surface, such as slowing down slightly: ”Jezebel, you are my great walking-girl companion!” This simple affirmation, delivered by actually envisioning our very pleasant daily walks, however long they might take, keeps us both present and appreciating every moment we have together. It’s not unusual for me to give this affirmation in the evening as we snuggle, hours after our walk that day.

Most of us move through our day with our beloved pets stating fairly routine requests, corrections, and praise, and we may say little else to our animal companions. These are all appropriate and important ways to work with and connect with our pets, but it takes so little time and energy to communicate even more with them.

This 24-hour challenge encourages you to identify and add in non-routine affirmations through the day. I’m always in a better mood after saying to Jezebel, randomly, just because I love her, ”you are my beautiful and sweet 11 year old girl!” My loving relationship with her just got a little boost and my smile got a little bigger. Challenge yourself to a day of positive affirmations with your pets and see if you don’t have a better day for it. I bet your beloved pet will!

Web of Love Website for Animal Communication

Kelly Krueger — Thu, 27 May 2010 20:44:25 +0000

Have you noticed that the acceptance of the concept of animal communication is expanding? I have! It seems like there are more and more articles, interviews, and networks devoted to animal communication specifically, and the love of all animals generally.

I’ve been participating in and following a blog, Web of Love, which gathers together blogs and resources related to animal communication. As the blog creator, Sonja Rantila, explained to me about the Web of Love,

The purpose [of the blog] is to spread knowledge about how wonderful and important [animal communication] is.

I encourage you to check out this blog periodically and browse through the list of topics being shared each week. Every animal communicator has a wide variety of experiences and stories, and you may just find one on the Web of Love which makes you laugh, think, or have just a bit more appreciation for your beloved pets.

Enjoy!

Communicating with Animals in Spirit

Kelly Krueger — Fri, 07 May 2010 00:49:37 +0000

Many people ask me if animal communication works with animals who have passed on. The short answer is “yes” but of course, there is a longer, more detailed answer as well. As an animal communicator, my experience is that most animals remain available, willing, ready, and even anxious to communicate with their humans. Occasionally this is not the case, but I can think of only about four animals who have passed away with which I have not able to connect at all.

There are a variety of reasons we might want to communicate with our beloved animals in spirit. First and foremost, a communication session offers an opportunity for closure, especially if the animal passed unexpectedly. Even with animals whom we expect to pass, or whom we assist to pass, closure a few weeks after their passing has proven to be extremely valuable for many clients. I have received a number of follow-up emails and voice mails from clients stating that they were suddenly able to let go of guilt, or move through their grief more gracefully after having the opportunity to talk with their deceased companions.

So closure is at the top of the list of reasons for communicating with our pets in spirit. Other reasons on the list are varied and individual.

Some clients wish to know if their beloved animal companion intends to return to them – reincarnate – in the future. If so, sometimes the deceased animal can provide signals or clues on how and when to find them.
Often a family intends to eventually bring a new pet in to the home, and they request assistance from their animal in spirit to help them find the pet that is waiting for them.
Animals who have passed can provide wonderfully profound wisdom and guidance for their humans as they continue on in their lives.
Clients sometimes request assistance from their beloved and trusted animal in spirit to help those who are readying themselves to pass. This was extremely comforting to me, personally, knowing that my deceased dog, Pugsley, was available at my request to assist my beloved Valentino as he passed from this life to his new life.

Communicating with our animals who have passed away is not something that is right for everyone. Many do find great comfort and relief, however, in having an opportunity to check in with their beloved companion once, or regularly after their passing.
