Angie Morin, Animal Communicator
Animal Intuitive
Some souls are just more sensitive than others.
These are the ones that are more reactive and more anxious.
They are also the ones that love deeper.
If you have one of these souls you are blessed. They chose you to protect them and understand them. It’s a gift to be chosen by a soul that is so sensitive. They are trusting you with their safety, their heart, and their soul.
If your animal’s behavior suddenly changes, take a moment to look at what’s happening in your environment — not just theirs.
Animals are incredibly sensitive to emotional and energetic shifts. They often respond to things like stress, routine changes, or unspoken tension before we even consciously recognize it ourselves.
What can look like anxiety, restlessness, or “acting out” is often their way of processing or reflecting something deeper.
Before correcting the behavior, try this:
Pause and ask yourself —
“What has changed recently, even in a subtle way?”
Then observe your pet without reacting. You may start to notice patterns that weren’t obvious before.
When animals feel understood, their behavior often begins to shift naturally.
If you’re unsure what your pet may be responding to, this is something I help uncover in animal communication sessions — identifying what they’re experiencing and what they’re trying to express.
Understanding is often the first step toward change
What does stress in animals look like?
* Bad Behavior
What causes stress?
* Physical Illness (Animal or You)
* Changes in environment, routine, home, etc..
* Over crowding
* Lack of basic needs
* Lack of desired affection
* Transportation (for some)
* Forced interactions (with animals or humans)
* isolation
* Inconsistent cues or expectations
* Bullying (from animals or humans)
* Noise Pollution
These are just a few of the things things can cause stress.
So when you see bad behavior, you don’t need to correct the behavior, you need to address the stressor.
When animals are reactive (dogs, cats, horses, goats), correction is not going to yield the fastest results. Exposure is not going to lead the fastest results.
What do these animals need? They are reacting out of emotion.
When you are emotional and someone tells you to “calm down”, does that work? Nope.
If someone were to discipline you would that work? Nope, you’d get more angry.
If someone were to correct you, tell you youre wrong, tell you youre over reacting, would that work? Nope. You are reacting because you truly feel the emotions causing that reaction.
If youre reacting and someone else fires back with high emotion, will that work? Nope, youll both keep escalating.
If you were emotionally triggered or felt unsafe by something and your parent kept making you see that thing, would that work? Nope you would stay in a heightened emotional place and continue to feel unsafe. In fact, you may even feel betrayed.
Teaching emotional regulation (which is what reactivity is in animals) is not done through correction, discipline, exposure, or training. It’s taught over time by starting with limiting exposure to triggers.
You have to recondition and rewire the brain. The brain has been conditioned to react. “Neurons that fire together, wire together”. Most people have heard this. It applies to animals too.
It takes time for the brain to rewire. How does it rewire? By taking preventative measures to keep your pet calm and feeling safe. Love means acknowledging, to your animal, their fear, their anxiety, their level of discomfort is REAL to them. Aggression is also a form of all of those emotions.
By limiting exposure you allow your animals brain to literally rewire. You take them out of living in stress to living in calm and in peace. Once this happens you can start to gradually introduce triggers at a VERY far distance for VERY few seconds. Without ever crossing the threshold of allowing your pet to feel stressed.
This process takes SO long. But if are truly committed to it, you can take an animal that lives in stress to an animal that lives in safety and peace. Do you know how good that feels to them? It changes their entire life. And it will change yours too.
You two will develop the deepest bond and true trust.
And if you can’t commit to what it takes to help a reactive animal leave in peace, at least don’t get upset with them when they do react. I understand now everyone has the time for this. You can still love your pet for who they are, understand their emotions and fears are real to them, and most importantly, keep your emotions calm and neutral when they do react so they feel safe with you.
Play with your pets because it’s good for them and its good for YOU!
Playing with your pets increases the emotional bond the two of you share.
It keeps your pets mentally and physically active… and it does the same for you!! Double bonus!
This is especially important if you have adopted an animal later in their life and missed their early developmental and socialization years. The best news is… age doesn’t matter! Playing with your animal as an adult or senior will still develop the same trust and deep emotional bond that it doesn’t with a baby animal!
The most important part is finding play that is enjoyable and fun for your pet (taking into consideration any fears, anxieties, or trust issues). Animals without anything holding them back tend to like, hide & seek, peek a boo, chasing each other, etc… As long as you observe your pets behavior to make sure your pet feels safe this is fun for BOTH of you!
* Quick reminder, animals DO NOT like jokes. Jokes are not play. Jokes break trust *
You don’t have to play for long, even just a little bit every day will create benefits and rewards for both of you.
Be creative. Don’t just mindlessly through a ball or use a laser. Play WITH your pet. Engage WITH your pet. Put your phone away and be present. Let them play back with you!
Play is a beautiful, fun way to develop trust, deepen emotional bonds, and build new relationships with new pets.
Our animals stay with us even in spirit form. We have lifelong soul contracts with them. They will not reincarnate to go live with someone else. They stay with us.
When our pets return to angel form the grief is so heavy, so real, and so hard to release. When we are grieving heavily our angel pets will not do anything that will trigger more grief. They want us to be happy.
This means we may get one or two “signs” from them initially, just so we know they are doing well and are around, but then nothing. It doesn’t mean they’ve left. They haven’t. They are just staying silent to give us time to heal. They know constant reminders can make cause sadness.
However, once you have healed as much as possible and allowed yourself to go through the stages of grief and healing your animal WILL show you they are still around. Each animal shows it differently, but some of the mot common signs are:
Most commonly, little things we just ignore because we live in a society that is always distracted and busy.
Things like this are so easy to overlook but these are ways our angel pets show us we are here. They use things did when here. But see how easy it is not to notice these if you aren’t fully present?
These are not the only ways. Some animals will tell me there is a wind chime on their porch that they will use. Or some use a certain smell or sound. The list of ways is endless. But there are many signs that you will notice as soon as you start to pay attention.
Once you are healed, they will come. However, as humans, once we heal, we get signs, we feel good about those signs, then we start to fall back into the patterns of daily life, which our animals want us to do. But as soon as we do that, we stop paying attention again. We think the signs stop coming. They didn’t. We stopped being present and open to receiving them.
The animals never stop showing us they are still with us, even years and years later. We just become less present.
Most importantly, the grief that comes with your pet becoming an angel is very real. It is important to allow yourself to go through the process. Just know, our animals want to see us happy and thriving. They understand we will grieve. They understand the loss we feel. But they never want us to feel sad indefinitely. They want to see us smile, have fun, and thrive. And they never ever EVER want us to feel guilty for bringing in a new animal and for sharing our angels possessions with a new animal. In fact, the next animal(s) that comes has been sent by your angel. When you know that, you know there is no set time limit to wait. There is no guilt to feel. There is no need to feel like you are replacing your angel. Your angel is on the other side, waiting to send you the one meant to step in next.
