Animal Communication, Rescue Dogs, and Listening to What Pets Really Need | Kristen on The Story of My Pet
Host Julie Marty Pearson welcomes Kristen to The Story of My Pet to discuss Kristen’s lifelong bond with animals, from getting her first horse, Snowbird, at age 10 to building a career as a professional animal communicator. Kristen explains her path from speech language pathology and working with nonverbal clients to teaching and practicing animal telepathy to help animals and their families understand behavior, stress, and wellness issues. They talk about how shelter and foster environments can overwhelm animals, why pets need months to decompress after adoption, and how neutrality and clear communication can reduce anxiety and misinterpretation. Kristen shares a case of a repeatedly returned foster dog who improved when her “purpose” was understood, and highlights Akron Rescue Cats and Buddy’s Second Chance Rescue, which helped match Julie’s guest with her dog Fisher.
