Many owners will say that their dog \u2018knows\u2019 exactly what they are thinking, or what they are about to do. Some cat owners have this same belief. The question is \u2013 how much of this is about the animal picking up on our body language, after all this is how dogs \u2013 and cats \u2013 communicate with each other, and how much of it indicates a genuine connection? Dog behaviourists have known for a long time that a dog is in constant communication with its owner, even if the owner is not aware of this, and it takes the form of emotional energy. Celebrated dog psychologist Cesar Milan often speaks of the negative and positive energy which our dogs use to interpret our behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>There have been loads of stories over the years about dogs which will sit patiently by the door waiting for their owner to come home from work. Now, if that owner comes home at the same time every day then that is easy to explain away \u2013 dogs are excellent timekeepers and sticklers for routine. But experiments have been conducted with the owner returning home at different times of the day to find dog waiting for them.<br \/>\nAnd here\u2019s another thing: many pet owners will tell you that they have felt the presence of their pet after the animal has passed away. Sometimes it can be the form of a smell or the sound of the animal moving around; sometimes the form of the animal can be actually seen. There\u2019s no doubt that an owner who was close to their pet will struggle to explain the physical sense of the animal being \u2018gone but still there\u2019.<br \/>\nIf you are a fan of Britain\u2019s Got Talent you\u2019ll know that this year\u2019s winner was an amazing dog act \u2013 Matisse the collie with Jules O\u2019Dwyer, following in the pawprints of Ashley and Pudsey. These astonishing acts have been honed to perfection over years of intense physical training but isn\u2019t there something else too? Pudsey and Matisse seem to have that extra unspoken connection with their owners, without which they would not achieve such levels of perfection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/some-people.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/some-people.jpg\" alt=\"some people\" width=\"564\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/some-people.jpg 564w, https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/some-people-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thegooddogguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/some-people-500x288.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>So how can we explain this connection in wild animals?<\/strong><br \/>\nBig cats in rescue centres have learned to co-exist alongside their human rescuers despite being the ultimate predators. A black leopard named Diablo, which had been taken to a centre in South Africa, was a fearsome creature with an established fear and hatred of humans. Yet he seemed to develop a trusting relationship with animal communicator Anna Breytenbach. She spent time with the animal, speaking to him on a psychic level, and claimed that the cat told her about his feelings towards humans and about his situation. He told her he didn\u2019t like the name which had been given to him \u2013 Diablo \u2013 because he didn\u2019t like the connotations it implied. Here\u2019s the most amazing part \u2013 she said that Diablo asked about two leopard cubs which had been with him previously; he was concerned about them.<\/p>\n<p>The rescue centre owners said Anna could not possibly have known about the two cubs.<br \/>\nThe big cat\u2019s experience with Anna seemed to reassure and relax him to the extent that he was able to leave his cage and explore his wider enclosure for the first time. The rescue centre owner was impressed enough by the transformation of Diablo (renamed Spirit) that he decided to attend a workshop to learn more about how to communicate with his big cats.<\/p>\n<p>Learn how to communicate with your dog.
