If You Could Talk To The Animals:
Animal Trainer Beatrice Lydecker On
Non-Verbal Communication With Pets
Ever wish you knew what your dog or cat was
thinking?
Beatrice Lydecker believes there’s no reason why you can’t gain new insights into
the inner workings of your pet’s mind, by taking the time to see the world through
his or her eyes and working to communicate with your pet on a nonverbal level. A
nationally known animal trainer and author, who’s been a frequent guest on The
David Letterman Show, Oprah Winfrey and Good Morning America, Lydecker claims that all of us have the ability to convey images and feelings to our dogs
and cats without using words.
Lydecker calls this ability visualization, preferring to avoid terms like ESP, which
she feels has too much of a “magic” image. There’s nothing mysterious about
what she does with animals, says Lydecker. Communicating nonverbally with a
dog, cat or other animal is just a matter of relaxing your mind, and letting the
feelings and images flow between you and your pet.
While you may not agree with Lydecker’s theory, she raises some intriguing
questions about the nature of pets and their relationship with people. This is one
reason why she’s been such a popular guest on the talk show circuit. Along the
way, she has also been called to consult with many celebrity pet owners, including Jay Leno, William Shatner and Elizabeth Taylor.
Lydecker, who shares her Oregon home with 11 dogs and 4 cats, recently spoke
to us about communicating with pets, and her new video, You Too Can Talk With
The Animals. Here are some of her observations:
On Nonverbal Communication
“All of us are born with the ability to communicate mind-to-mind nonverbally. This
is a natural part of life. Animals do it all the time. People tend to lose this ability
as they ‘grow up,’ because nonverbal communication isn’t accepted in today’s
society. What I do is help people learn how to use this nonverbal ability with
their pets. People are thrilled to be able to communicate nonverbally with their
pets -- it’s like you’ve had this good friend, and now you can talk to him or her on
a whole new level.
“There’s nothing mystical about this communication. It’s really something that is
very natural. Of course, in order to achieve this kind of communication, you have
to be sensitive to the world of animals. You must accept your pet as an animal,
and value it on that level alone, and not see it just as an extension of you. This
respect is the first step toward communication.”
Responding To Animals
“I translate what the dog, cat, horse or other animal feels. If he feels pain, I can
feel it in me where he hurts. For example, I once consulted with a veterinarian
who had a dog who was shaking his head for no apparent reason. I learned from
the dog that his left ear hurt. I then told this to the vet and, sure enough, he found
an infection in the left ear. This wasn’t magic, it was just being sensitive to the
feelings of the animal.”
Differences Among Animals
“I believe that different species of animals have very similar thought processes. All of the animals have one line of thinking. They don’t think of things in human
terms, but in their own animal terms.
“Just like you and I do, our pets will spend a lot of time thinking about the things
that are important in their day-to-day lives. They’ll think about other animals and
their rivalries or friendships with them, they’ll think about pleasing their owners,
they’ll think about people they like and people they miss.
“I think that some animals tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the past,
missing people they knew and places they’ve been. This is especially true of
horses.
“Horses are complex, but I believe that dogs are the animals that are most likely
to have psychological conflicts, because they’re the animals that are most
dependent on people. They also have the most complicated relationship with
people, because of their pack mentality.”
Celebrity Pets
“The pets of famous people are no different than the pets of anyone else. To the
dog or cat, the famous person is just a friend, not a celebrity. In 1986, I was
invited to work with the Elizabeth Taylor’s Pekingese, parrot and Burmese cat.
They were filled with love for her. She wasn’t a star actress to them, she was part
of their family.
“Of course, celebrity pets can have the same problems that other pets do. For
example, I was called in to help Yul Brynner’s Shar-pei, who seemed to be going
through a tough time in his life. I got to know this dog, and it turned out that his
stomach was upset from traveling all the time, and drinking so much foreign
water.”
Benefits To Owners
“As the experience of Yul Brynner’s dog illustrates, being able to communicate
nonverbally with your pet offers very real benefits to you and the animal. When
you take the time to see the world through your pet’s point of view, you’ll be better
able to learn about what he likes and dislikes. And, you’ll also have a better
chance of changing your pet’s behavior.”
