You know how sometimes when you make or receive a telephone call and there's no response on the other end? You keep saying, "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?" but you only get silence. So you hang up, figuring there was no one there. What you may not have known is that someone was there and they could hear you, but there was something wrong with the connection. So you couldn't hear them replying to you, "Yes, I can hear you!" I think this is what happens with all communication sometimes — animal communication included. Recently, it played out at a local dog rescue where I volunteer with my daughter. However, instead of with animal communication, it was with energy healing. Perhaps it will help explain some of your own experiences or frustrations and give you some hope that you are actually communicating even when you think you are not. Here's what happened: I was visiting the various groups of dogs at this rescue. Each group has its own separate "cottage" and dogs often get switched around to different groups to give them a chance to interact with other personalities or to see if there might be a better match-up in the event of conflicts. This particular day, the most energetic dogs were all grouped in one cottage. And by energetic, I mean the ones who tend to jump on you, nip at your clothes, bark to get your attention, and push other dogs away. And it's relentless. My daughter and I kind of cringe when we know we're visiting a group that includes even just one or two of these dogs. Now, there were three all in the same space. Not only that, but they seemed to have upped their game, taking on all the bad traits of the worst offender in the group (who was named after a hurricane, to give you a hint of his behavior!). As soon as I opened the door to this group's cottage, the cyclone began. My daughter had already opted-out, as the thought of all that craziness was just too much for her. And honestly, it was for me, too. But I remembered that we were there to try and help all these dogs in transition, so I went in alone for a short visit. As expected, all three dogs were jumping, nipping, and yipping like crazy all around me. Instead of matching their energy, I consciously tried to maintain a grounded state of being, almost willing the entire room into calmness. As they tried to get my attention, I repeated calmly and softly that I would be happy to pay attention to them as soon as they calmed down, sat nicely, and were quieter. When they jumped on me, I gently pushed them away. When they nipped, I made it known that was unacceptable. As I stood in the middle of the room amidst this scene, I also began sending Reiki with the intention that the dogs would be able to channel their energy in a more positive way. Within five minutes, the dogs began breaking their unified pattern. They were still all participating in the madness, but now at different levels and inconsistently. They began going in and out their dog door to the yard, trying to channel the energy in a different way. The second "craziest" dog actually curled up right next to me! I had never seen him do anything like this before. The third "craziest" stopped jumping and actually sat in front of me for short periods of time, now able to enjoy healthy interaction. And the top dog, who had the hardest time with his energy, kept going in and out of the dog door, desperately trying to use his energy in an alternate way. He never got to the point the others did, but I could tell he wanted to get there and was doing what he was able to in the moment. I was so proud of them all! If I hadn't looked for the signs and noticed this change in their behavior, I would have thought I failed at sending Reiki. The reason is because I can't feel the energy like some can. While others are able to experience something physical or energetic when they send or receive energy, perhaps knowing when to stop, when someone has had enough, when to move to a different placement, I get no such clues. I send Reiki and hope it is working. In the case of the dogs, I was making the telephone call and saying, with hope, "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?" I didn't hear a response. I didn't have a conversation with any of them. I didn't get psychic or telepathic messages. But my call did go through. My messages did reach the dogs and the proof was in their physical behavior, not in any telepathic communication. Has this experience played out for you in any similar ways? Perhaps there are times when you think you have not made the connection because you didn't hear anything back or didn't get an expected reaction. But if you look for more clues, you may realize there most certainly was a connection and that connection is 100% a part of animal communication. Maybe you're more successful than you realize?

Thank you for the comment on invisible communication. It is so true.
