Publisher Comments:

In her first two books, Marta Williams taught readers how to communicate with the animals in their lives. Here, she takes the process a step further, offering concrete suggestions to solve specific behavioral problems. It could be a cat that shreds the furniture, a horse that won’t respond to training, a constantly barking dog, or an animal that has issues with another animal or a new child in the household. These and other problems are dealt with through examples, exercises, and case studies. Beginning with an overview of intuitive animal communication, Williams then guides readers step by step to a new understanding of how and when animals communicate and shows how to interpret the messages animals give to humans. Simple, easily learned exercises cover everything from basic obedience to dressage to trips to the vet; all ensure that the human-animal relationship remains safe, happy, and healthy.

Synopsis:

Ask Your Animal provides a clear, hands-on guide to relating with animals and nature using intuitive communication. Its step-by-step instructions, true stories, and practice exercises are designed to inspire and guide the beginner. More advanced techniques help you resolve specific issues with the animals in your life — or in your neighborhood. Using this approach, you can start addressing these common situations right away:

Controlling bad habits like barking and digging; recovering lost animals

Calming an animal with separation anxiety; coping with an animal's death

Achieving a better bond with your animal; restoring trust in an abused animal

Creating harmony among the animals in your home; trailering a reluctant horse

Eliminating aggressive behavior; assisting sick and injured animals

Connecting with rescue animals and animals in crisis

Synopsis:

“Move over, Dr. Doolittle, and make room for Marta Williams. Ask Your Animal shows that the question is not if we can talk with other animals but how to do it. This easy-to-read book is a must for everyone who encounters animals in their lives. Enjoy and share widely.”

Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals and editor of The Encyclopedia of Human-Animal Relationships

“Most humans are just beginning to scratch the surface with animal communication. In this book, Marta Williams shows us how to scratch a bit deeper.”

Mark Rashid, clinician and author of Horses Never Lie and Life Lessons from a Ranch Horse

Around the world, people are starting to see how communication with other species enhances all life. Whether you want to enrich your relationship with one pet or plan serious study of animal communication, Ask Your Animal will deeply inspire your direction.

Prior to becoming an animal communicator, Marta Williams worked as a wildlife biologist and environmental scientist. Intrigued by the idea of intuitive communication with animals, she set out to learn all that she could about the subject, a path which led her to become a full-time animal communicator.

Ask Your Animal outlines the author’s insightful approaches to more rewarding relationships with animals. Williams believes these are skills we can all cultivate. Woven throughout the book are heartfelt anecdotes of the myriad ways people have tapped into the information animals offer to us. Pet lovers will recognize these situations - from the horse that won’t trailer load to the rescue dog that attacks other animals to the cat that refuses food when her owner is away. Each section includes simple instructions designed to help resolve the challenge and nurture confidence in the apprentice animal communicator. Williams encourages readers to listen, gain fresh perspectives, and discover creative new paths to success. Included are tools to calm a distressed animal, resolve negative behavior, such as jumping up on people or digging, eliminate aggression, and teach a hypersensitive or fearful animal to accept and even enjoy being handled.

There is an entire chapter devoted to using intuition to find a lost animal and another on coping with death, two situations that owners find particularly distressing. One of the more unique features of the book is the final chapter, focused on new ways of relating to the wild creatures with which we share the planet.

Ask Your Animal is a vital resource deserving of a permanent spot on the bookshelf. No animal lover will be the same after reading it.

Do you think your animal understands everything you say? Well he or she just might. A book that reinforces my belief that I can communicate with my dogs in a meaningful way.
