Noted Pet Communicators Offer Free Pet Communication at Columbus Pet Expo in Columbus, OH

Suzanne and Chuck Fisher, noted Pet Communicators, will be giving free 2-minute Pet Communication sessions at the Columbus Pet Expo in Columbus, OH on March 26-28, 2010. Come to the Franklin County Veteran’s Memorial, 300 West Broad Street in Columbus and find out what Spot and Fluffy are really thinking.

Columbus, OH, March 8, 2010: Even better, learn how to talk to Spot and Fluffy yourself at the FREE Basics of Pet Communication seminars Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday.

Suzanne will perform a Blessing of the Animals on Saturday and Sunday, followed by individual blessings for individual pets.

Featured Pet Communicators at many pet expos on the East Coast and at cat shows from New Hampshire to Florida, Chuck and Suzanne are dedicated to helping you understand your pet better.

Many people joke that they are unsure that they want to hear what their pets have to say about them. But these doubts fall by the wayside when their pets have behavioral problems that they want Suzanne and Chuck to help solve. Some common behavioral problems Suzanne and Chuck work with include pets not eating, pets relieving themselves in inappropriate places, pets destroying furniture, and pets biting or scratching their people.

Chuck and Suzanne work with all types of pets. Some species are more willing to communicate than others. Chuck and Suzanne are owned by four cats who travel with them and who they say leave them in no doubt that the cats are in charge in their household.

Chuck and Suzanne say that people who love animals and have pets are already communicating with their pets - they just need to refine their skills. Until they do, Suzanne and Chuck are available to give them some insight into what their pets are thinking.

The Scooby Doo-style van will be there that kids can check out and enjoy! And they can dance with Scooby.
