The Animal Files Podcast
Do you believe animals are sentient beings? That they can feel emotions, pain, and stress? Animals communicate with us all the time, but many of us simply haven’t learned to understand them. We tend to only see the obvious, but that can lead to misunderstandings, behavior challenges, & health challenges. Caring for a companion animal can be one of the most rewarding, yet challenging experiences in our lives. We aim to be a voice for animals and help them to thrive & not just survive in our human world. Our discussions and interviews range from stress in animals to safety, animal welfare to legal concerns, nutrition to communication, behaviors to travel, plus a whole lot more! Because stress affects our pets’ lives in so many ways, this aspect will be touched on in many of our episodes. We are not about being light, fluffy, and safe. We will be delving into areas that are not often talked about and helping you to take a deeper dive into the world of pet care. Our mission is to provide you with information, guidance, & possible choices you can make for the animals in your care while encouraging you to do your own research in order to make the most informed decisions. Each and every week, join Victoria Stigliano-Dzuban, an Animal Spirituality and Energy Facilitator, Animal Translator, and Integrative Energy Healing Practitioner, and Miranda de Haan, a Pet Care Safety Expert & an Animal Health Technologist, as they discuss various topics, interview other pet experts, and offer opportunities for personalized guidance to our community.

In this episode, we flip the script a bit. We typically talk about the importance of taking the time to train our pets but today... we talk about the importance of training OURSELVES to better support our pets. An untrained human can seriously, and in some cases, unknowingly negatively impact our animals lives by creating an environment filled with stress, fear, and anxiety.
Join us as we break this topic down to help you better understand what you can do in order to better support your animals. The more trained you become, the happier your animal will be and your relationship with them will become deeper.
