In this series we talk with pets, whose names have been changed, to see what they have to say. Here is an interesting pet psychic reading that we gave.

Question: Why does my dog bark in the backyard? He also snaps at people.

Anne & Greg: Mike (the white Maltese) says he sees himself as bigger than he appears to be physically. He says he is claiming his space, and that is what dogs do – they bark to claim their space and keep others away. He says his space is his backyard. So he doesn’t see anything wrong with it. And he says that if you have to snap at somebody, you do that.

Owners: You are right. He acts like there is nothing wrong with his behavior.

Anne & Greg: So let’s explain to Mike that he has made a mistake in judgment. He holds a belief that can be changed. A dog does not need to snip or bark to claim his space. You only do that when you are insecure. We are going to show him a better way to claim his space now. This will give him something better upon which to focus.

Mike, we are going to give you a new job. We want you to bring in the light of wisdom that is above your head. We want this light to fill your body and the area around your body. This is claiming your space.

Next, we want you to see a grounding tube going from your belly to the center of the earth. This will keep you settled and grounded in your wisdom. We want you to practice bringing in your light and grounding yourself to the earth until you become really good at both of these exercises.

Owners: We can help him with this.

Anne & Greg: Good. Mike is now telling us why he held this belief. He is showing us the image of being picked-on as a puppy in the litter. So let’s give him another image that he can contemplate. Let’s see him as a big lion rather than a little dog. If we can see him as naturally large and important, then eventually he, too, can see himself that way. We are replacing the old mental imprint from childhood with an updated more appropriate image for today.

Anne & Greg’s Summary: A lion doesn’t have to bark or snap. By his energy signature, he can be recognized as king of the jungle. Anyone can have big energy, even when he is a small dog. Mike can see himself as a lion who is so important that he does not need to roar to claim his space.

It is the same with people as it is with animals. Through your being, you can claim your importance. You are born naturally wonderful. When you bring in your wisdom, become grounded and claim your energy space, your naturally own your territory. There is no need then to bark or bite except in extreme circumstances.

Question: Why is my other dog barking a little now, too?

Owners: Hank was good most of the time, but now he has started barking, too.

Anne & Greg: Hank (the black and white Maltese Shiatsu mix) has a different issue. He doesn’t need to claim his space the way Mike does. Instead, he says he just needs more space when it comes to cuddling. He says he doesn’t need to cuddle as much as you people do. He says he feels secure and is more casual in his approach to life. He just doesn’t think that so much cuddling is necessary. That is his opinion.

Owners: That is so funny. That is exactly what Hank is like. He is more secure. We do want to cuddle him more than he wants to be cuddled.

Anne & Greg: Hank is also showing us the image that he notices everything that is going on around him more than Mike does. There is a lot more going on in Henry’s head. He contemplates things a lot.

Owners: That is true.

Anne & Greg: You could also say that Hank is more aware and psychic – he sees more unseen things than does the average dog. This is why he doesn’t want to cuddle as much. He is busy thinking about things. He wants to think more than he wants to cuddle. You could say he is more mental rather than touchy-feely. He is more focused in his head than in his heart.

Anne & Greg’s Summary: You can see how very different dogs can be. Even though they may be exhibiting the same behavior, such as barking, they could be doing that for very different reasons. Mike was more self-involved and needed to learn how to ground himself better and bring in his own wisdom rather than accept unfounded assumptions about what dogs are like. Hank was more aware of the world around him and wanted to focus his mental attention there rather than give and receive love in a physical way.
