animal speak

It is not that hard to do with practice. However I never had to learn how to connect with my dog. Whilst lying cuddling my canine I felt her chakras activate, this happened on a few occasions before I heard her speak (mentally) to me.

Best advice I could give is try relaxing with him/her and get a feel for each others energy frequencies.
Open your mind and believe you are able to communicate telepathically.
I usually start off my placing my hands just behind my dogs ears sending/transmitting her loving thoughts.Whilst doing this I also keep eye contact with her.
Ask him/her simple questions, be aware of any body language. Eventually you will hear them answer mentally to you.It is just as if you were talking to another human no different.
I am able to communicate with many animals now to aide them in healing or helping them with fears. (yes they have fears and emotions and a soul like humans.

I had to help my dog over a fear from a previous life. I won't go into that here it is personal to me and her.

~Good Luck~

This is nature magick not hollywood magick, wrong website.

Lol Hollywood magick ! There is nothing Hollywood about being able to communicate with animals. It is a merging of both yours and the animals vibrations and aura. Once that link as been establish the animal might give you feelings or impressions, colors interpreted as words etc. I am a psychic/medium, healer and able to also do Reiki healing on animals and communicate with them.

Unless you yourself are able to do it or have experienced it do not pass it off as Hollywood magick!

I am also trying to learn to talk to my pets - except mine are cats. :P I would suggest that you practice telepathy and watch their body language too. I agree with Bliss.

It is possible to understand animals better through the use of a very very basic magic. It's not even that rare, most animal owners can do it to a sense and the more of that animal they've owned the better they get at it. The very first thing to realize though is that your dog is not human, if you want your dog to sit up and start talking then you're going to be there a very long time. Think like a dog. I usually get shot down by the canine world for this but hear me out. Dog's don't love, it's a completely different bond to them and that''s the first thing to understand, in a dogs head it's all about the pack, you're part of that pack and probably the leader thus you are the most important thing in that animals life, without you there is no pack and with no pack there is no food and no dog. This isn't to say that a relationship to a dog is built entirely on their dependance on you but their minds are just simply different from ours. Once you truly understand dog behavior you'll know what they're thinking and more importantly why they're thinking it.

Now most people will probably turn around and say that it isn't magic and in part they're right. The reality behind it is that it's a bond between animal and pet, you'll pick up on their emotions better and you'll their needs and wants but you'll never have a conversation with them like you would a human because they're simply not human. All it is is animal husbandry, a natural skill that's achieved through understanding the animals energy, you can sense there energy and that's where the magic comes in but even sensing it will tell you nothing unless you truly understand the animal. This is most easily achieved by simply spending time with the animal, training them works wonders as that forces you to get inside their head.

You can't communicate with animals through telepathy or other fluffy magic. You can, however, understand each other better through two ways. 1) Learn his body language, dogs already know yours quite well. 2) Simply start learning to feel his energy and you will pick up what his feelings are. There is no way to speak or speak to an animal. That would be quite impossible.

I gotta say, I really like Yakov's answer.

Alongside all the suggestions you've received so far I will tell you that animals react to nothing more than emotion and as said, body language.

Communicate in that fashion.

Although animals have been noted to respond to basic sounds and phrases (i.e commands like sit and heel).

It is possible to understand them. i suggest meditation and try to connect to your dog. I do the same with my own cat but neever done it with a dog wish you good luck.

thanks for all the suggestions it is getting easyer to understand her. i get worried becuase ive been so busy latly i havent been there for her as much and she has seemed off
