Hopeful for Better Understanding, February 10, 2007
This review is from: How to be a Dog Psychic: Learn to Communicate with Your Pet (Paperback)
Yes, Danika's book talks about meditation and communicating telepathically with your dog. But it's also about dog psychology and how your dog needs and wants you to be the "pack leader".
She weaves in lots of personal accounts about animals she's known or done work with as an animal communicator. I was fascinated by the stories of how she was able to find out that her female cat was being terrorized by the male cats in the household (brothers!) and how she was able to solve the problem. (Removing the cover from the litter box kept the boys from sneaking up on the poor girl).
There are stories about finding out that a dog was in the early stages of cancer before any exterior symptoms were being shown and another of finding out that a dog was really tired of being sick and tired and was ready to "go". She also weaves in recommendations for other books and websites such as the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen.
Essentially, this book is about strengthening your bond with your pet and who doesn't want that?

Pet Telepathy, Give Me A Break!, January 15, 2007
This review is from: How to be a Dog Psychic: Learn to Communicate with Your Pet (Paperback)
I'm the proud owner of 2 Bichons. I thought this book would help me understand how the dogs think and provide tips for better communication with my pets. I only read the first few chapters. I was instructed to meditate and take on an animal spiritual guide. It informed me that I could pass messages to my dogs just by thinking. I know dogs pick up on our emotions, energy levels, and body language. I also realize that spoken word in any language is not the dog's natural form of communication, but this book was talking about speaking a language that neither my dogs nor I could understand! Unless you are one with nature, stay away from this book!
