Observe the interaction between the animals and people

When learning to communicate with animals observe the animals when they are interacting with each other. You can learn a lot about the animals by just watching them, see how they behave around each other, see how they play with each other see how they enjoy each others company or if they start to misbehave or even fight. Which animal is the dominant, which one the submissive one? What else can you observe?

Observe how your pet is interacting with visitors, watch them how they approach strangers etc.

Observe if different animals can get along with each other. From their behaviour, we can learn so much.

From observing all the animals around us we can learn to understand them and if we are open enough, to learn about ourselves.

I have found that animals also are very good at telling us what the weather will be like the next day. Especially my Lorikeets are good at telling me what the weather will be like, if it is going to be cold they seem to eat double the amount than usual, if they do a lot of screaming and arguing it will be a windy day and so on. The problem is, one gets too busy to observe and take notice of what one observes and so often misses what the animal is telling us. 

How are your pets toward you? How are they behaving when you are around? I noticed that one of my dogs get very nervous when I am in a bad frame of mind, she gets hyperactive and confused, this shows her personality and often if I see it and observe if I can make changes in my day to be in a better frame of mind. My other dog gets very quiet and looks depressed so she is telling me to change and be happy so she can feel better too.

So often, when we observe our pets we can learn from them. We can see how they interact with each other and so often I feel if only humans would take note of it. Animals do not judge and do not worry what you look like or how much money you have in the pocket, they love you anyway. 

One of my cats had been caught by a car and had damaged his front leg his paw is paralysed and he had his jaw broken in many places. He has recovered really well and he is my miracle cat, here in the neighbourhood all the other cats love him and allow him to come on their property, they all respect him, they do not judge him.

So take note of what you observe, become aware of what you see. Don't be too busy to notice what your animal is telling you as you may be able to learn something from them. Slow down, take a deep breath and just stop for a moment and watch your animal.
