Don’t know if anyone on here has ever used animal communicators, but if you ever do, please consider using Reisa Stone. Her website is www.reisastone.com
She did a reading on Rocky, one of the most complicated dogs I know, and without one piece of information, read him like she had looked into his soul….I have used animal communicators before in looking for lost dogs, but because the dogs are usually moving, it’s difficult to get true communication…This lady is quite wonderful and sure knows her work…I’ve learned to work with Rocky a tad differently than before the reading, and it’s been very successful..So, if it’s something you’ve never considered with, especially a rescue dog, ya might want to give her a try…
Reading body language….

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
While an attack by a dog may seem to be
unprovoked, the dog has reasons for its behavior. Even the most trusted pet
still has the instincts which ensured survival of its ancestors in the wild. The
strongest of these are defending itself and its territory, protecting its young
and chasing prey.
Dogs usually give warnings before they
attack, so you can protect yourself if you learn to read this body language.
Growling, snarling, aggressive barking, raised fur, stiff body, stiff upright
tail, and erect ears are warnings which lead to an attack.
Other kinds of behavior can also signal
trouble for you. A fearful dog, slinking with its tail between its legs, is also
dangerous and can attack suddenly. An unexpectedly quiet dog can be dangerous
too because some dogs are bred to give no warning of an attack. A dog in pain
because of illness or injury is also prone to attack, even if you are trying to
help it. And an old dog may be startled by your approach because of poor vision
or hearing.
For anyone who meets an unfriendly dog,
here’s some friendly advice:
Never pet a strange dog. Even if the
owner assures you the dog is friendly, let it sniff your outstretched fist
before touching it.
Do not startle a sleeping dog. Speak or
whistle softly to warn it of your presence.
Do not go near a dog which is chained,
cornered or in a vehicle.
Do not touch or annoy a dog which is
eating.
Do not approach a dog caring for
puppies.
If a dog is acting in a threatening
manner, here are some ways to protect yourself:

If a dog is acting in a threatening
manner, here are some ways to protect yourself:
Keep your voice and actions slow and
calm.
Staring at the dog can be interpreted as
a challenge, so avoid eye contact.
Back slowly away. Running triggers the
instinct to chase, which is why you should not bike or jog past a
dog.
If the dog lunges at you, shove any
object you are carrying into its mouth. Deflect the attack with your arm to
avoid injury to your face.
If you are knocked to the ground, curl up
in a ball on the ground, protecting your head with your arms. Do not move until
the dog leaves.
If you are bitten, wash the area with
lots of warm soapy water. Cover the wound with a clean dry dressing, and seek
medical help. Children account for half the reported cases of animal bites.
Youngsters have been killed by dogs considered harmless. Teach your children
safety around dogs and other animals.
