"…it’s
like that whole thing on anthropomorphic

32. Dog Trainer and Animal Communications Expert Skeptical of Human to Canine Telepathy
2007-11-13 Alex Tsakiris
Guest: Dr. Jill Morstad, highly regarded dog trainer and animal communications Expert, examines whether dogs can know when their owners are coming home by telepathic means. Morstad is skeptical, but remains open to exploring the unexplained limits of animal communication: "…I know this with my own dogs, if I pull a suitcase out and pack to go to a veterinary conference, the dogs don’t get up. They don’t notice. But, if I pull that suitcase out with the express intention of taking those dogs to an obedience trial—they are all over me."
