Amazing Results for Animals with Fears, Separation Anxiety and Chronic Behavior Issues
I really want to share with you a procedure that is literally changing the lives of animals who suffer from anxiety over thunder storms, loud noises, trama from past events, separation anxiety and behavior issues that just can’t seem to be addressed through vets, training, etc.
This procedure, technically called NLP, stands for Neuro Linquistic Programming, but in laymans terms it is simply switching the picture or putting the picture in a different frame. Originally invented for humans, this procedure works equally well with animals and truly does not only change their lives but changes the whole dynamics of their relationships with their humans as well.
This procedure has been used very successfully with animals in the highest level of showing, animals from puppy mills, abusive backgrounds, trama from the loss of their best friends, aggressive behavior. There are many testimonials to this from owners who have seen immediate changes, one of which is on this website.
Simply put, during the communication session the animal is asked to bring to it a picture of the fear, event, feeling or issue that causes them unease. They do show these images to me and then we fade the picture out into a dense fog so that the image can no longer be seen no matter how hard they try. We then replace that picture of an image that they have in their minds of a time when they either felt extremely safe, felt focused, calm, etc. Once the switch is made which is on a subconscious level the switch is permanent which is why the behaviors or issues changed very quickly.
One example was a great dog I worked with who lived on a lake where the thunder storms came in pretty violently. This dog’s anxiety over the storms seemed to be getting worse with age so his owner scheduled a communication session. During the session I asked him to get a very clear picture of himself when the storms came and his anxiety hit. It was a frightening image. We then spent some time fading that image out into the fog and when he could no longer see it I asked him to replace with with an image of himself at a time when he felt very safe and content. The image he gave me was of sitting in his Dad’s lap in the recliner safe and sound and just chillin. So, we used that replacement. Needless to say, when the next storm came he was OK. No anxiety, fear or stress around the storm. His Mom recently reported that when the storms come she can see him getting a little anxious but definitely better and much calmer. Not only did this help the stress level in the home when the storms came, but their are no words to express the way that it changed this little guys life not to live with that fear.
If you have a pet with any of these issues, I encourage you to either Google NLP or contact me for further information.
Lucy
Shirley –
Thanks so much for helping me with Lucy & Sydney Rose. Now let me tell you the good news!
So as you know the first night when I got home, I immediately felt a change in Lucy, she was the most happy that I have felt from her in a long long time. It had rained that day some, and we were expecting storms that whole evening, but nothing came of it. She not once went into her crate or left our family in the living room. The next day (Tuesday) shortly after I awoke I started to hear military booms and usually after she would have heard the first sound of noise she would have been off into her crate in the laundry room off the kitchen, but she stayed right there on her bed in the living room!!! I left her alone and was in the bathroom, when I got out, there she was still in the bed in the living room! OMG this has NEVER EVER happened! I was riding my bike and heard a boom that shook the house slightly, and she didn’t move. The second sound went off and I saw that she began to feel uncomfortable so I called her over to me, got on the floor with her, and talked to her about her safe picture and healing and I swear I was crying because I was so proud of her. There we were feeling our love expand and she was being as brave as she could be. She never left the living room, never went off in search for the safety of her crate and I returned to riding my bike amazed at this beautiful experience.
I can barely write this note to you without feeling my eyes tear up, words can barely express the gratitude that I feel for you and Lilly in helping heal a dog that I rescued from the shelter. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I give you full permission to use this story in anyway to help another family.

Ithaca Times: Talking with Animals
Here is an excerpt from the Ithaca Times dated September 12, 2012. To read the complete article, visit the Pet Corner by Glynis Hart, Ithaca.com
“I’m not a psychic,” said Merrill. “I think there’s a huge difference between a psychic and an animal communicator.”
…
They also give workshops to teach people to communicate with animals, or, more exactly, to remember how to communicate with animals. “A lot of people, in the workshops, will say, ‘when I was a child I thought I had this ability,’” explains Merrill. They believe that the ability is innate, that we have it as children and forget it, or block it out. “When people ask me, what does it take to be able to do this? I answer with one word: willingness. As soon as you are open to doing this, it will come to you.”
“Children have that openness of heart,” says Merrill.
How do you know, then, that what you’re getting isn’t your own projections? Or wishful thinking?
Merrill laughs: “I often say, ‘I’m not smart enough to come up with all this stuff on my own.’… I look at it as sign language interpreting. The only thing I’m doing is taking that animal’s words- sometimes an animal will give you a word/picture- and putting it in human language.”

Animal Communication with Shirley Merrill
Do you ever wonder….?
…what is your cat thinking?
…why does your dog exhibit that behavior?
…how is your horse feeling, physically and/or emotionally?
…what would your animal love to tell you if only he or she could speak?
Well, our animals are able to communicate with us in a way that perhaps you’ve never quite imagined. They – and you – may need my assistance in doing so but, given the opportunity, I think you’ll be amazed.
What’s even more amazing is that we are all capable of experiencing this gift. If you are open to learning, I can show you how. Please feel free to contact me to explore how I can best meet your needs.
