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 dive into the different mistakes cat owners may be making unknowingly, and give you tips on how to do better and be better for the sake of your beloved feline. As humans, mistakes are a part of life and as long as we try to be conscious and aware of them, we can learn to compromise and adapt, so that we can allow our kitties to be respected and accepted fully into our families and ultimately give them a voice. Even a 1% change will benefit the feline/human relationship and help your cat thrive.

In this episode, we sit down for a lovely chat with the amazing Debby Dobson, Animal Behaviorist and owner of Good Dog! Animal Behavior. Dogs are her passion and although she works with all types of dogs, she primarily works with those who are fearful and often reactive dogs, to help them "feel comfortable in their own fur" and have full, well-rounded, and well-loved lives.
More about Debby:
I work primarily with fearful, reactive dogs, many of whom are rescues.
As more Americans began adopting rather than buying dogs from breeders, as a pet sitter, I began to notice behaviors in dogs I'd rarely seen before. Some were shaking when I arrived, others froze ridgedly with a "don't come near me" look on their faces. My challenge was how to help them relax and trust me. The first "tool" I used was taking them for a long walk, during which I simply followed and observed.
Later, I adopted a dog of my own who I observed and walked for several days at the shelter before I brought her home. During that time, I saw no sign of any aggression whatsoever. When she came home Nora was polite and respectful of my cats as well. But two weeks later, she tried to bite a male friend of mine who'd been sitting sharing his lunch with her on our back steps.
Needless to say, I was shocked. I even tried to re-home her, but fortunately that failed. Thus began my almost 2-year journey into dog behavior. I wanted to help my pup feel comfortable in the world; I wanted to take her anywhere with me and not worry that she would hurt anyone, or be utterly miserable and tense herself.
I've always loved dogs. They are so emotionally honest, and if they have a supportive, caring home environment, they are the most loving, loyal, sweet companions. I want to help people give their dogs the best life possible. I want to work with people who are dedicated to their dogs' happiness and well-being.
I am in the process of writing a memoir about my dog Nora and the journey we took together. A condensed chapter in my book appeared in a recent Chicken Soup for the Soul book about dogs. I have also written a number of articles about dogs that have appeared online, and in print. I have spoken about dog behavior locally in a workshop forum (including at a dog club) and have also taught dog behavior as a 6-week class.
Booking info:
I am actively looking for more venues in which to speak about dogs, and I welcome the opportunity for more interviews.
=> To book Debby... email her at: dogmom7@gmail.com
Services:
I provide one-on-one consultations with my clients pertaining to dog behavior related problems. I plan on expanding this to small online classes within the next year to reach more people. I have also taught "Dog Behavior 101" as both a 6-week class and a 2-hour workshop.
For more info => dogmom7@gmail.com
Info about the Rescued Beagles:
A recent court order that shut down a disreputable breeding facility in VA has now thankfully freed almost 4000 Beagles from a terrible life. They had no toys, no interaction and stimulation, and often lacked proper veterinary care.
And now they all need new places to live! The article below has a link of who to contact if you or someone you know can foster. I have also alerted my contact at the ASPCA Behavioral Rehab Center to see if they might be able to take some of the neediest cases, those who are badly traumatized. Additionally, I posted the article on NextDoor as well as on an online animal rights group I belong to.
https://www.today.com/pets/pets/4000-mistreated-beagles-rescued-envigo-rms-rcna37890
The HSUS is working with its partner shelters across America to transport these dogs into places where they can start the process of healing. Please read the article carefully - there are many links for further information about ways to help.

In this episode, we chat about the incredible messages and lessons our animals want to share with us and the importance of acknowledging the soul connections and relationships we share with them throughout our lives and beyond. We also discuss, how those lessons and connections carry on even after they pass into their next life, and what that may mean for you.
About Annie:
I’m Annie Bourke, Cosmic Heart Intuitive. My passion is animals. I am a Brisbane based international animal communicator and animal medium and love conveying messages between animals and their humans. I am also an international bestselling author, healer, and host of my podcast show “What Animals Tell Me”.
I enjoy discovering animal wisdom and enabling animal parents to better understand their animal’s behaviour and health issues so that they can enhance the quality of their animal’s life, and deepen their relationship.
I love supporting healing and wellbeing of animals and humans and combine my spiritual gifts to provide intuitive healing support.
For bereaved animal parents, I assist with the grief process by connecting with their animal’s soul and asking questions the parents have, and provide peace of mind.
Intrigued by people’s spiritual purpose and soul evolution journey, I have undertaken significant training and am a certified clinical aromatherapist, crystal therapist, reiki master, angel intuitive, medical intuitive, clairvoyant, clairsentient and medium.
My first book and international best-seller, The Bridge to Animal Consciousness, was released on August 8, 2018. Through this, I aim to raise global consciousness about animals, why they are here, how they help us and how we can help them.
My second book and number one Amazon best-seller, Evolving Hearts and Souls - The Guide to Spiritual Awakening, was released on September 2, 2018. I wrote my second book to support those on their spiritual awakening path and to demystify some of the weird phenomena that may be experienced, based on my personal journey and studies.
In 2021, I launched my podcast show “What Animals Tell Me” where I share my experiences with animal communication and animal mediumship, and interview guests who have amazing experiences working with animals.
I am here to make a difference for animals, and support humans as they awaken and progress on their spiritual journey.
Services and Products:
Books: The Bridge to Animal Consciousness and Evolving Hearts and Souls - The Guide to Spiritual Awakening available as paperbacks and e-books on Amazon.
Podcast: "What Animals Tell Me" https://anchor.fm/annie6509
Animal communication sessions - By connecting to your animal through photographs, I can deepen the animal-human relationship by asking your questions and finding out what is happening in your animal's world, particularly with health and behaviour issues.
Animal mediumship sessions - I support bereaved animal parents by connecting with the soul of their animal in spirit and answering their questions. Often people carry guilt, regret, remorse and grief for years after their animal passes. I can ask what happened if the humans weren't at home or don't have a diagnosis. The animals can confirm that the soul endures and that they have transitioned safely. They can advise signs of energetic visits and tell me if their soul is going to reincarnate so that they can return to their human family.
Animal Mediumship Program - I work with bereaved animal parents for up to 12 weeks assisting them and their animal through the grief process towards healing and peace of mind.
Distance Healing - I provide wellbeing support for animals and humans with Reiki, crystal therapy and clinical aromatherapy.
Animal Zenning Program (launching soon) - A program to support animal parents struggling with animals who have behaviour issues related to past trauma / abuse. An increasing number of animal parents are opening their hearts to rescue / shelter animals who are at varying stages of recover from physical, emotional, mental and psychological trauma. Finding out what our animals are dealing with on their recovery journey guides healing and support, helping both the humans and the animals.
