FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Highly Regarded Dog Trainer and Animal Communications Expert, Dr. Jill Morstad, Skeptical of Human to Canine Telepathy
In-depth interview with animal
communication expert and dog trainer, Dr. Jill Morstad, examines whether dogs
can know when their owners are coming home by telepathic means. Morstad remains skeptical and looks to
non-psychic factors to explain the phenomena.
“…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.”
Morstad also explains how
animal communication breaks down and leads to behavior problems. She advises dog owners on how to examine and
improve the quality of their communication with the animals they care for.
Dr. Jill Morstad is part of a
group of researchers at OpenSourceScience.net interested in replicating the
“dogs that know” research of Dr.
The interview is available for immediate free download at: www.skeptiko.com/index.php?id=41.
Jill Morstad has been
teaching people to train their dogs since 1985.
Morstad has taught professional communications at the university-level
since 1990, and as president of Prairie Skies, Inc. She is a frequent speaker on issues related
to language, dog ownership and public policy. She offers accredited courses for
continuing veterinary medical education.
