Calling all Dachshunds, Dalmations, Dobermans and Dutch Warmbloods

Through the end of September, I'm offering a 20% discount on telepathic consultations with all animals whose breed begins with the letter "D."


The reduced rates this month apply to Dachshunds, Dalmations, Dobermans, Devon Rexes, Dutch Warmbloods, and to all other breeds of dogs, cats, horses, or other animals whose breed begins with the fourth letter of the alphabet.  Both new and current clients of Animal Translations are invited to take advantage of this program.


I'll continue the "ABCs of Animal Communication" promotion in October, when it will be offered to breeds that begin with the letter "E."


The standard fee for an animal communication consultation is $75.  Clients whose animals qualify for the reduced rate this month can purchase a session for $60 by visiting the Animal Translations website.

Change Your Mind, Change Your Horse

Linda Tellington-Jones, founder of Tellington TTouch for Animals, and Sage Lewis, a TTouch practitioner and animal behavioral consultant, are offering a free live teleclass called, "Change Your Mind, Change Your Horse" on August 17th from 8:00 - 9:30pm EDT.

As animal communicators know, you can influence an animal's behavior by "showing" him a mental picture of the behavior or action that you would like him to take, rather than unintentionally reinforcing an undesired habit by anticipating it.  Linda will talk about how to use TTouch techniques to help your horse break out of unwanted patterns, and will also discuss the concept of changing a horse's behavior by changing his posture.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn from one of the great teachers of our time, a woman who comes from her heart with great compassion, and who has enhanced the lives and ease of movement of thousands of animals throughout the world.

Speaking Out for Horses

I am pleased to announce that I have been named to be the national Equine Advocacy columnist for Examiner.com.    I'm truly honored to have this vehicle for my passionate interest in protecting horses.  I don't write for the money; I do it because I want to bring awareness to situations in which horses are suffering, or not being treated with dignity.  And I do it to shine an appreciative light on those who are quietly working to save them.

I've been writing as the Boston Animal Advocacy columnist since June, 2009, but I wanted to be able to address equine welfare issues that are affecting horses on a national level. 

During my first week as the Equine Advocacy Examiner, I've written about the tragedy of the BLM wild horse roundups in Nevada, the plight of carriage horses in New York City, the Penn National jockey protest against owner Michael Gill, the desperation of horse owners affected by the recession, and the upcoming changes in Canadian regulations that may reduce the number of horses that are sent to be slaughtered there.

I am reaching out to everyone who cares about horses, and want to hear from you if you think there's something I should be writing about. 

New York City's Carriage Horses Exploited Again

I couldn't believe my eyes tonight when I turned on The Celebrity Apprentice and realized that this week's challenge called for the two competing teams to raise money for their pet charities by selling horse-drawn carriage rides.

Didn't anyone tell NBC about the pending efforts to ban the New York City carriage trade because of its cruelty to these horses? Apparently not, because the show promoted the traditional romantic view of a hansom cab ride around Central Park, and raised thousands of dollars by the sweat of the silent equine workers.

The powers that be should have shown more sensitivity to an issue that is rapidly gaining traction.

If you agree, you can sign the petition to ban the Carriage Horse Industry in New York City, sponsored by the Coalition to Ban Horse Drawn Carriages.
