It’s been so invaluable to discover animals largely do understand what we say around them even if I imperfectly grasp what they want me to know.
Laura,
Thank you again. I love knowing what my at is thinking and how much he thinks!! Your conversations with Keeper have changed my relationship with all animals now that I know how much they understand and listen. You are wonderful!
blessings, Nancy
Hi Laura:
I’m sure you are used to being told how amazing what you do is, but it probably doesn’t get old, so I will tell you again! You are fantastic indeed! This whole aspect of communicating with other species that we co-exist with is really exciting to me, I want to know more. You are welcome on our show any time and thanks so much for being a stellar guest.
warmest hugs………

Hey Laura, several weeks ago we had you speak to our Bichon Yanni whom had been acting very anti social and not eating or drinking. Here is what he said:
I want to tell you that I dont feel well. I feel really nauseous. My stomach hurts me a lot and I feel like maybe there is something not right in there. If feels like it is pushing on me and i have bad tasting saliva and I just feel really sick. Yes, I ate this it was this long stick thing, not it wasn’t meat but it was chewy. I found it. I found it by door. It was inside. It was near the garbage. It has been for a while now.
Based on this information we found Yanni had eaten a Q-Tip while sneaking in the bathroom trash can. 9We have closed trashcans in every room now) and the Q-Tip had irraated his intestines as it passed causing them to fill whith gas, swell, and put pressure on his stomach and giving him indigestion. there is no doubt your insight saved our little boy and we can never thank you enough. Yanni is back to his old loving self, feeling much better. ( Although I do think he is still afraid of Daddy and his bad back..lol)
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
Dave and CJ

Hi Laura!
Invaluable as ever! Thanks so much…

Thank you for your session with my four dogs and two fosters. I already made the changes they asked for and amazingly, Diamond immediately stopped pooping inside and behaves frustrated, not distressed, when I need to go out of sight. The “Dog in the Sky” was an amazing explanation and Angel had a strange expression the rest of the day, as if she wasn’t sure if she might be in trouble. She got lots of love and praise for sharing so we can help her and was reassured. I am also looking into dog training for Rexa–who already has excellent manners!–so she can be exposed to others who have dogs and will fall in love with her and take her home. As she asked. Thank you so much. There really are no words that can express my gratitude adequately. I also sent your suggestions for Angel to her behaviorist/trainer so we can implement them. What a blessing your gift is, and how inspiring!

Hi Laura:
Thank you again for talking to my group. I love hearing what they have to say. You have such an amazing gift and it is so wonderful that you use it to help so many animals.

Laura,
Laura, I met you last Sat at Noah’s Apothecary. I just wanted to express to you how very right on you were in what you translated for me from my two cats.
I don’t know if you’ll remember, but my 12yo male cat asked what it was that I had hung in my window. And you and I couldn’t get it figured out. You asked me to let you know if I solved the puzzle. When I got home I looked at my bedroom window and burst out laughing. I had entirely forgotten I had hung a long fly paper strip! So from now on whenever I make any changes, even the smallest, I will be sure to explain to my family what I’ve done and why.
I also wanted to tell you that you said that my younger cat expressed that I should have a walking stick with me on the property. I should have taken her advice more seriously because the next day the rooster attacked me.
Thanks again! I recommend you to all my friends who have animal companions!

Hi Laura,
What an amazing an enlightening experience we had with you yesterday! Now that they know there is someone who can hear them I’m sure we’ll be seeing you on a regular basis…
Thanks again for coming into our lives. You are truly gifted and wonderful!!!!!!!

Hi Laura,
Well, Maddi has been much calmer since you spoke with her. She doesn’t spend her time searching the skies for flies. I think your reassurance that we will not hit her with a flyswatter has done the job. I had been telling her that, but your words really meant a lot to her.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Jere
Laura,
She is doing great. She has been a happy cat again. We both LOVE the new cat litter “world’s best”. No spraying at all, it is so wonderful to live in my house again without the smell. I can’t thank you enough. I loving telling the story of how you helped us. Thank you so very much from both of us.
God Bless you

Hey Laura!
I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate client referrals to me for Veterinary Acupuncture. (and the pets do too!). I hear your name all the time and without fail your reputation is somewhere between super-great and amazing w/ animal communication and training. I have your cards and never hesitate to give ‘em out…
Thanks again,
Your friend, Dr. Andy.

Dear Laura,
We met yesterday at Aloha Dog Grooming. You listened to Lammy for Eloise and me. I have to tell you that I see Lammy in such a different light now… She really does have a mind and thoughts.
I know, duh!
But having you talk to her and watching you do it was very inspiring. Thank you again for sharing your gift with us.
With love and blessings,
Linda
Hello Laura!
I just wanted to update, and thank you. After our appointment I had Will adjusted by a chiropractor, where he found 4 misplaced vertabrae in his neck.
I also feel that he and I are really starting to understand each other, now that I know what I’m listening for. He is trying very hard to be brave outside and focus in the show ring ( we just won our first recognized show and are preparing for the pinto world competition in 3 weeks!) While I am trying very hard to focus on what I am hearing from him, as well as other animals around me.
I feel maverick, and can pick out words… and feelings he sends my way. Thank you for helping us;
Again thank you for all of your help,
Ashley, Will and Maverick
Hi Laura,
You have given me a new appreciation for my animals’ thoughts, concerns and the humor they can share!
Here are some changes I have made, based on your conversations with my cats:
A change in food so that Twisted Sister does not have itchy skin anymore.
Six Pack asked for a “pocket bed” under the bed in my room. I put a small, fluffy folded cat comforter under the bed. She sleeps in it all day long!
Whiz Bang said the catwalk was too slippery. I attached carpet to it. Now the cats spend more time on it and Twisted Sister actually runs sprints up there!
Whiz Bang has stopped annoying Twisted Sister and they spend more time together than before.
Six Pack does not annoy Twisted Sister as often as she used to. When I point out their similarities, like all the cats like to lay in the sunshine, Six Pack is impressed with the concept.
Whiz Bang is experiencing pain in his neck or back. He has an appointment with a chiropractic vet this week.
Party Time has a very sensitive and nervous personality. I am arranging a session with a horse massage therapist who can do Tellington Touch.
Thanks for your insight! I am practicing my animal communication skills every day!
All the Best,
Sheryl
Hi Laura,
A few weeks ago my cat Whiz Bang told you that he had pain in his neck. He visited a chiropractic vet yesterday and she showed me where he was very tight. She did acupuncture and an adjustment and it is easy to feel the difference in his neck and upper back muscles. He loved it!
This vet is in Dallas and she uses a local animal communicator to help her get a better patient history from her animal patients.
Also, my horse-bully, Kenya, is improving. Last weekend she did not chase or threaten the other horses in the pasture when I was at the polo club. And there were no marks on her pasture-mates!! Usually there are bite marks or scrapes from when she terrorizes them.
Thanks for all your help in initiating such terrific changes for my animals! The horses are getting along more peacefully and Whiz Bang is pain-free!
All the Best,
Sheryl
Laura,
I just want to thank you for talking with Moss last night. It was wonderful that he opened up to you. He obviously has been through so much in his first 6 years of life, and deserves a break. We hope to give him that. A loving forever home that he can be happy in for the rest of his days.
Pat bought string cheese on the way home and I had him sit a couple of times with it and he loved it. Thank you so much for the caring way you spoke to him. Letting him know it’s okay to relax and be a joyful member of our family. I know it will take baby steps, but we will see it through. He is such a wonderful boy, he just doesn’t know it yet…
Oh, also when I told Pat about Holly having mini-seizures he said he knew about it!!! Her owner, our neighbor Debbie told him about it a while back and he forgot to tell me.
Thank you again, and we will be in touch with Moss’s progress.
Much love,
Claire
Hi Laura,
Thanks you again for meeting with us yesterday. You have an amazing gift and I feel so much comfort knowing that ‘the girls’ know what is happening and they are communicating with each other.
All our love
Dear Laura,
As we reflect on the amazing events of last week, we are at a loss for words to describe how grateful we all are for your love, presence, and work. Thank you for being there for our family.

Thank-you so much for your session yesterday! I now know that Fuzzy and Angel have different ideas about what they want and need. I keep thinking about the reading and now know that they feel and understand life more then I ever thought they could. I loved seeing through your eyes, their personalities and fun loving spirits.
Here are the pictures…hope you can use them. Again…Thank-you!…loved your website!
Kindest regards,
Peggy, Angel and Fuzzy
Hi Laura -
You are definitely on earth doing your purpose which is as unique as you are and very much needed. People with metaphysical awareness will get it (what you do) and maybe those who don’t will have the opportunity to learn something in a fun way.You are on the cutting edge which is a fun place to be -to be a pioneer.You just keep doing your bliss and don’t worry about what anyone thinks good or bad. Your job is to offer your gift to the world-some may receive it graciously and unwrap it and enjoy it and others may refuse it-that is their choice and is no reflection on you! You are blessing many people and many animal friends and that is sacred service. Godspeed! Blessings!

Hi Laura
I wanted to thank you for the time you spent with Zoey, we could tell in the week following her visit with you she was much happier. We started her on the tinkle tonic right away and then got her an appointment for a teeth cleaning and a urinalyses. Her appointment was on Friday and she had a really bad reaction to the anesthetic, but she was better the next day. Her test results came back today and it showed she has a very high white blood cell count, and the bacteria in her urine was over 40 so he has started her on antibiotics.
Once again I just want to thank you for such an enjoyable afternoon, I am so thankful to have found you and you are truly blessed with such an incredible
gift. We would love to see you again in the near future to see how Zoey thinks she is feeling with the new changes, we will be in touch.
Take care and God Bless,
Michael Tiffany and Zoey
Hi Miracle Worker!!!
Tommy has been so good. He is not the same dog. We have had zero problems with the barking. I have gone out with him each time…as we worked on….but then he stays out and has had only a quick growl or low bark which I quickly address! I’m so proud of him, you and me. Love, Vickie
you made my day Laura! How sweet and thrilling. Thanks for bringing me closer to Gus and for keeping Scooby super alive for me still. I love your postings of them. I am not a private person…so you can reveal anything. Thanks for your gift and your generosity of it! I am beyond thrilled!
Thank you,
Susie
Thank you Laura.
I’m so surprised and am sobbing. Yes, these are comforting words. And this is amazing. This is going to help get me past this pain.

Laura:
Thank you so much for coming on Friday. It was a very profound experience for me….Prior to your coming….and because you mentioned speaking with Ranger, I tried to communicate more with him. Certain things had happened before you came. Even though I knew I needed to open up more to Ranger, it was a struggle. Being with you with Ranger was very powerful. I guess the word is opening……which is very profound. Thank you so much. I was so nervous before you came as I sensed it was going to be the most important visit to my house.
Much love…….I feel very blessed by you.

Laura Stinchfield has proven herself many times over to be the ONLY individual (trainer) i will recommend. Each pet is handled with the sensitivity and concern needed to build a strong, healthy and willing companion for their owners.

Hey Laura, I hope you are doing great. You had such a huge impact on Roxy’s progress and we really want to thank you so much for your help. Your advice really built our confidence in the beginning, and we all learned so much. We really miss you. By the way, Roxy is now an expert at “roll over” she does it without treats. We really miss you and miss looking forward to our meetings.

Laura’s skills are excellent. She is an experienced trainer utilizing only positive methods. Her gentle innate nature is lovingly communicated to the animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking training or behavior modification for their faithful companion.

Laura Stinchfield has an impressive record here with us a San Luis Obispo County Volunteers for Animals, having communicated and assisted in the resolution of problems with several of our rescues. Laura’s approach is positive and has proven to be right on target.
Among the animals with whom Laura has assisted us was Nicky, a “legally blind” cat. Nicky was aggressive towards other cats, mercilessly attacking them if given any opportunity.
Laura was able to pinpoint the origin of the problem, and although it was too ingrained to correct, it gave us insight into Nicky’s feelings and valid reasoning of his behavior, enabling us to then place him in an appropriate home, where he now happily lives as the only cat.
Our organization is sincerely grateful for Laura’s generous donation of her time and talent to our needy animals.

Our dog is an amiable, curious, enthusiastic, and STRONG Pit Mix. Until Laura worked with him and us, it was impossible to take him to town. He now knows how to walk nicely on leash, meet other dogs, and STAY in the convertible while dad gets coffee. I’ve now been able to tell him, “WAIT” in the open yard, and he’ll be there and hour and a half later on the lawn or on the steps, having played but waited in the area until my return.
Thanks to Laura’s communication skills he is a success story and he has retained his charming personality. He is a sweet smart dog and Laura is an amazing friend to him and to us.

Marcy was a quite complicated mare before Laura communicated with her. Once Laura was able to speak with her and find out what was bothering her, I was able to understand my horse.
She needed to be treated gently and quietly and spoken to often. She was nervous when the wind was strong for her hearing was overly sensitive.
Laura was able to give suggestions to help me calm her and work on my issues as well. As a result of Laura’s talk with Marcy, she and I have been more relaxed.
Laura was able to get to the heart of Marcy. She is a very special and gifted person.

My husband Neal and I have received splendid help from Laura Stinchfield, regarding the Queen of our Hearth and Hearts, classy calico cat Tiffi.
Through Laura’s communications with our cat we received very valuable information, health news, and emotional preferences of our feline companion. Laura’s truly wonderful expressions of thoughts and wishes, brought actual tears to our eyes.
We are New York City people, so we’re sharply alert to fuzzy generalizations, all-purpose scams, or just plain inaccurate work, by communicators. We have encountered all three; that’s why we’re sticking with Ms. Stinchfield!
Again and again the tone fits the cat, none of whom Laura has ever met in person. And again the animals’ statements and sentiments ARE borne out when we act on them.
Two holistic veterinarians have consulted Laura’s “Tiffi reports: and incorporated the information Tiffi transmitted into their diagnoses and protocols, which fills us with joy, that our veterinarians’ ability to maintain our ancient little lady’s longevity is increased!
We are tremendously happy we found Laura and recommend her rampantly. She is earthy, sensible, well-grounded in real life, as well as genuinely respectful of and in love with the animals in a healthy and balanced way. She lives life in an unusually pure and exuberant way. Long may she converse with our animal companions and friends!
Eunice and Neal
Laura has been such a wonderful resource for our family. My sister died a few years ago leaving a very traumatized cat behind. Bitsy had been alone with my sister’s body for five days before she was found. Within a very short time Bitsy had not only lost her mom and her home, but was moved to Camarillo straight into hostile Siamese cat territory…our house. The transition was rough for everybody. Thankfully we had worked with Laura before and Abby and Bosco had greatly benefitted from her visits. It wasn’t easy, but being able to communicate withall three of them helped our two cats to understand why Bitsy was with us. Laura’s visits helped all ot us as the cats adjusted to their new life together. We still hit some snags. There was some aggressive behavior and two of them were marking their territory inside the house. Laura came to the rescue again. We were able to find out who had been acting out and through communciation…we were able to see much improvement.
Two years ago after Bosco died, Laura came over to make sure that the girls were doing ok. The first thing that Bitsy communicated was that it stung when she urinated and she asked us to do something about it. I got her right into the vet and sure enough, she had a urinary tract infection and was subsequently treated for it. My vet wanted Laura’s number!
The two girls, Bitsy and Abby still have their moments, but for the most part live very peacefully together. Thankfully there is no more inappropriate elimination, and any tiffs between them are short lived and no one gets hurt.
We feel so blessed to have Laura’s incredible gift at our dispense. She has helped our little family so much. Thank you Laura!
Catherine, Tom, Bitsy, and Abby Sims
Dearest Laura,
We were all touched at BETA by your interview (with Michael & Micah)! It brought tears to our eyes… Thank you so much for caring about our rescued animals and for promotion the “need” of the strays, a loving and secure home…
You are indeed a very compassionate person and a true friend to the animals.
Best Wishes,
The BETA Team

Dear Laura,
we feel very grateful for the time you spent with Moxie. We have felt closer to her and I believe she feels closer to us. Amazing news, since you both spoke- she uses the bathroom outside! There was one accident, which was at night- it was not a worry.
I have been speaking with Moxie and visioning things to communicate. I had an experience early in the morning of Moxie barking to get my attention and then she turned into a big dog barking in my dream, I was sure Moxie was trying to tell me she needed outside to pee. I got up- she needed out.
Because she is potty trained, she is able to be in the house and we are all enjoying her personality more and her delightful ways. Your gifts have helped us bring this family closer, thank-you so much.
You asked about a quote- please use any quote you think works best to promote what you do. I picked one- but I trust that you will find the one that is most helpful to animals and their owners.
“I get nervous in my body where I cant think about what I want to do. I like to be smart but sometimes I have a hard time finding that part of my brain. I’ll ask my brain a question and I cant always find the answer. I ask my brain how not to be nervous or what I should do.”
We will look forward to speaking again. I have told so many people about you- they have asked for your name after hearing about this experience.
Blessings,
Linda

Laura, thank you for a wonderful and very helpful session. I have shared your notes with my husband and children, and we have all found that in addition to the specifics, this has helped us to connect more fully with Patrick. Sometimes I get caught up in all the practicalities of taking care of him, and this has brought me back to what matters most – the deep heart connection we have.
I am looking into a different kind of boarding for him, based on your recommendations. I will also try the wheat grass and your other suggestions. And I am trying to give him the pill at night so that the taste in his mouth will occur mostly when he is sleeping. Hope that helps. In addition I’m remembering to talk with him more and let him know how much I love him and appreciate his presence in my life.
Hi Laura,
I called in on your radio show about my horse Sultan, now Gavilan. He had some issues with donkeys and communication with a mustang. Well this weekend I put him out with 3 other horses and the little red mini that he asked to be out with. He took to the 17.2 hand Oldendberg gelding quickly and followed him around for 2 hours! The big gelding took him under his wing and showed him the ropes of turnout in a small herd. When the Oldenberg dropped to roll Gavilan was right behind him, copying what he did. He was so relaxed and calm with his new friends. At one point Gavilan and the gang were in the far corner looking up in the top pasture and talking to the herd up there which included a donkey. That donkey’s ears were twitching back and forth but Gavilan only backed up a few steps behind the Oldenberg but did not take his eyes off the donkey and did not panic. THANK YOU for talking to him about his communication skills and helping me with ideas about helping him become more confident. It was amazing to watch him interact with other horses. He has only been a gelding for a year and a half and was a stallion for 10. As you know, stallions don’t get socialized with other horses for the most part. I will try to download a pic or two of him and a couple of his new friends.
Thank you again…you are awesome.
Chris

Cats Now Getting Along ![]()
Hi Laura,
Wanted to drop you a note to let you know how Eli and Bella are doing. It is amazing the difference in Eli since you spoke to him last week on the radio show. He is trying to be very careful on how he “touches” and several mornings I have woken up to Eli gently licking Bella and she was loving it!
I have also caught them playing together and Eli instead of jumping on her like he did before, he jumps then jumps away so not to be too aggressive. He still has some moments when he “forgets” and when I scold him he either lies on the floor with his head down or climbs under a chair to hide. He looks at me as if he is embarrassed for his behavior. I mentally say to him “remember what Laura said, you are not smarter than everyone else” and that everyone needs to get along in “harmony”… Thank you so much for your assistance and helping everyone (including myself) see things a lot clearer
Thank you again,
L. R.
Dear Dr.Laura,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your blessing of animal communication. Even though the passing of Roscoe has broken my heart having you communicate for us has been invaluable. It gives me peace to know what Roscoe thought and felt. I read your transcripts and blogs many times a day and it helps me heal. Knowing that my big guy is in heaven experiencing contentedness gives me joy in between the pain and tears. May God bless you and your beautiful family. Thank you again. XX
