Animal Communicator Terri Diener Tells Us How it Works (continued)

DM: What do the animals tell you?

Diener: Let me give an example. An owner had a ten-year-old dog and then brought a kitten home. The dog began peeing on the owner's down comforter. The dog communicated that the kitten was being mean to her and she had to be vigilant all the time because no one was stopping him. Whenever the dog went to walk with the owner, the dog was leashed and the kitten was off-lead and free. The kitten would ambush the dog by jumping out of bushes and then taunting her that he was free and she wasn't. The six month-old kitten felt he was just playing. The work then was with the kitten. I communicated with him about what was acceptable: walking along with the dog, running to scout ahead, running back to communicate what he saw, for example, but no attacks. It took a couple of sessions for the kitten to understand and change his behavior, and for the dog to trust that there would be no ambushes. Harmony was restored in the household and the dog stopped peeing on the down comforter.

DM : Could you give us another example of an animal you've helped?

Diener: This involves a horse. Parents of a 15 year-old girl consulted me to help with the horse they had bought their daughter. Whenever the teenager tried to ride the horse, the horse attempted to throw her. If they were inside, the horse would bump against the side of the wall. When they were outside, the horse would balk and try to buck her off. The horse communicated the thought picture of a crowd and many men riding her. She had spent her early years as a horse on a college equestrian team. Each rider sat her differently and many rode her hard. She had to accommodate all their different riding styles. She was angry and also suffering from post traumatic stress. When the parents told the horse trainer what the horse had communicated he did two things: wrapped the horse's feet differently to provide more support, and coached the young woman on an alternate way of riding. The next time they rode together the horse was fine. She even started greeting them at the fence when they came to visit, which she had never done before. The horse needed to express her anger; once she was heard she was able to be ridden safely.

DM: Some people have seen 'pet psychics' on TV and think they are fake or con artists. What can you say that might help convince those same people that animal communicators can provide a useful service?

Diener: As I mentioned earlier, the television events need to be dramatized to make good television. Neither I nor any communicator I know gets down on all fours and crawls around the floor to perform their work. If a camera were rolling, my work might look quite boring. I'd be sitting at a phone, focusing on a picture of an animal. Animals are happy to tell us what is on their mind, if we ask. I don't know what I can say that will convince skeptics. Their minds are usually changed when they have the experience of a problem with their own animal being resolved through a communication session. People should know that animals are totally aware of what is happening in their environment. They are tuned into us and our feelings. If we think we are hiding something from them, we are mistaken. For example, animals know we will take a trip before the suitcases come out because they are tuned into our thoughts and emotions. The examples I've given you illustrate how problems can be resolved.

DM: How can readers contact you if they would like more information or want a consultation?
