Animal psychologist

I have worked as an animal psychologist for ten years. They also call me an animal-therapist since I claim that animals cannot talk but they can communicate. With this belief, a new world opened up for me, and of course for the owners that have hired me to work with their animals.

Mia with 2 of her 4 dogs.Animals do not have a verbal capacity and have to show their problems by body language or sounds. Importantly, all creatures transmit “pictures” 0.4 seconds quicker than any communication that is audible.

Humans are born with the ability to receive these transmissions, but most loose it as we “mature” in our world. We continue to transmit these images throughout our lives, however, just a split-second ahead of our verbal communication. We are unaware of this transmission, but the non-human creatures we are speaking to (or yelling at) still pick it up.

If we can learn their language, we can understand them and solve the problems they face. Most of the time it’s the owner I am working with, and letting their animals be the link between us. Misunderstanding is the most common problem and ignoring what they are telling us makes the problem get bigger.

I am working with all kinds of animals, but mostly dogs and horses. Many are stressed animals, some are threatened with being put down to sleep, some are adopted and have had several owners before.

In Sweden and throughout Europe I have had all kinds of clients, from the working German Shepard to Olympic champions, Royal animals and common household companions.

Lectures conducted during the years have caused me to write two books (see pictures above) and a third one will be released April this year.

Animals are never going to learn our language, but they communicate all the time. To communicate with them, it is our human responsibility to learn their language and patiently work to understand them. Most importantly, they must be respected at all times for the thinking, feeling creatures they are.
