Whether you’re working with a parrots, dog, cat, horse or Guinea pig there is one secret that works for improving behaviors in animals – acknowledging their sentience and self-awareness.

Sentience Defined

The dictionary defines sentience as being able to perceive or feel things.  While self-awareness is the conscious knowledge of one’s own character, feelings, motives and desires.

Examples of Self-awareness

If you spent any time at all with animals of any species you’ll agree that you’ve seen them make choices and indicate their desire to have something.  I’m sure you’ve also been able to recognize the wide range of feelings and emotions they can have and express.  From fear to love, to gratitude  and friendship, curiosity and boredom.  We’ve seen them try to convince us into doing something, and we’ve recognized their joy when they succeed, and their disappointment when we refuse.

Learn to Talk With Your Animals

During a Healing and Communication Session I teach my clients a new way of talking with their critter kids. This new approach to communicating with them respects an animal’s sentience and provides them clear information and clear directions regarding the behaviors you want to see them do.  Please know that animals do have free will, they can pick and choose the behaviors they want to do. However, after an animal truly understands what his ‘favorite person’ wants him to do, many times a dog, cat, parrot, horse or gerbil happily complies.
