I've seen some "animal communicators", such as the one Animal Planet has, and I think it is really just a big joke.

Her "readings" are nothing more than the words of an animal behaviorist. She's not communicating with the dogs - she's reading the body language!

Dog cowers in corner during reading ---- "She tells me she is a bit shy"

Whats ridiculous in the readings is when she says things like "she says she loves you dressing her up, put her bandanas on more often" ... I cannot imagine this is a priority on ANY dog's mind. Since when are dogs vain?

I think its just a fancied-up job title for those people who have too much money on their hands and think its "cute" or "fashionable" or even necessary for their dogs. They should really do the dog a favor and skip the "reading" and visit a REAL trainer to SOLVE the problem.

Just my opinion though. I've only watched two episodes and it completely irritated me.

Shhh! Your dogs might hear you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I watched 5min of the first show. That was enough for me. My wife probably wouldn't let me watch any more anyway caus she said I got to "irate" listening to that 5 min. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

This topic was posted on another board several months back...seems that someone from that bb had a relative that actually went on the show. Apparently before the show, you have to fill something out that tells all about you and your animals...

I hate to be a spoiled sport but that shit is assinine and stupid. Anyone who believes in that crap needs a check up from the kneck up IMHO. It's bad enough we have these human psychics ripping people off now we have this idiot on TV doing this stupid show. I am a supervisor for the Postal service. The other day a guy came in and said, "I owned the psyhcic shop on Wanaque ave. I just went out of business so I put a change of address in last week, I was just wondering where my mail is".

Hmmmm.......... :rolleyes:

I don't think this is even discussion worthy. :rolleyes:

I think Doggie Therapist should be thrown into the mix here as well. The kind who actually have the couch in their office for the dog to 'feel safe and comfortable' and the owner leaves the room. What a job! Watch someone's dog for an hour while you play computer games, they come back, pay the bill, and you have that strong moral code to not break the dog's confidence so they never ask what went on in the session.

I can be really opened minded about a lot of things and maybe if these people gave an extrodinary reading it would help but every time I see them graze the daytime talk show stage, its always the same thing. "oh he feels really bad right now" "oh he very frightened" "oh he loves his neck scratched" --- trivial things that bring wonder to the eyes of the owner but all I can think is 'that was it?'

I'd love to see them try and do a reading on Zak. He has very subtle body language which you can only pick up on if your around him a lot. I'd love to see them fumble around with words trying to figure him out, but its not worth the money.

These people are just preying on the tree hugging, mellow dramatic, dogs are equal to people, I love my fur kids, border-line animal rights wacko people. But I guess that's cool. Those idiots deserve to be preyed on!LOL <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I had a wacko roommate when I was a young pup (22yrs) and she had a terrier mix and I had a dobie mix. She also had a brown ridgeback mix. Well the two females (Mine and the terrier) never could get along. My roommate insisted that we get a pet psycho(logist) :rolleyes: to come to the apt and "talk" with the dogs. She took them into a room and talked with them. She then told us about the problems with our dogs. She told me that my dog was extremely insecure and needed more attention for me. Geez...give me a break, we had just moved in and my dog was trying to establish dominance... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> The thing that really made me mad <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> was when my roommate wanted me to fork over 35 bucks to pay for my half of the "session" and she wanted to start doing them weekly! Needless to say my dog and I got our own place. In my opinion they are nothing but touchy feely scammers!

Some people I know were trying to find a new home for their dachshund. One of the potential adopters had to talk to their pet psychic first, they brought a picture of the dog in and that was good enough for a reading. They decided to just keep the dog instead of giving it to the crazy lady.

sometimes I wonder if these psychics actually believe they have powers or are just flat out con artists.
