Talking with Dogs and Cats

June 15, 2015

Practicing animal communicator and consultant Link shares his animal telepathy techniques with pet owners so they can better understand and bond with their animals. He believes that with respect and positive training techniques, we all have the ability to connect with our animals on a much deeper level. In this work, which is part memoir and part guidebook, the author recommends these steps for effective communication: say what you want out loud, visualize mentally what you desire, and always communicate using positive tone and energy. By employing these methods, he advises how to solve or reduce various behavior problems such as separation anxiety, excessive barking, litter-box mishaps, reactions to storms and other loud noises, and resistance to walking on a leash. The work is accompanied by stories of Link's experiences with his current and past dogs and cats as well as his clients' animals. VERDICT For readers who enjoyed Amelia Kinkade's Straight from the Horse's Mouth, Link's easygoing attitude and sincerity will be a welcome addition to those interested in alternative forms of animal communication.--Eva Lautemann, formerly with Georgia Perimeter Coll.
