After seeing my dog Grover struggle

with unpredictable aggressive behavior – lunging at trucks in the road, growling/barking at other dogs – I knew that we needed some extra help.
We had adopted Grover 3 years ago. He had bad past experiences that were affecting his behavior.
I came to Maribeth with the goal of reshaping some of his behaviors but left with much more than that. Grover has greatly improved his interactions with other dogs and other triggers that used to scare him such as loud trucks.
What was much more valuable was the context of the relationship I have with Grover. He is no longer a pet that I need to control – he is an individual who is capable of communicating emotions and thoughts.
Maribeth provided the tools to facilitate this realization and gave me the confidence to continue to improve my communication and his behavior moving forward.

Ginger’s been having issues

with her left ear and I took her in to the vet this morning. I took some time last night and earlier this morning to ask her to be patient and give the vet a chance to look into her ears. Ginger has not been very people friendly and will not sit still for people to touch her. Well.
Not only did she let the vet look into both of her ears, she let two techs hold her and carry her around. She let them clean out her ears and give her two shots (it was close to her yearly check-up) without incident.
When one tech came out of the office with Ginger in his arms I was amazed to see she was relaxed and wagging her tail! Unheard of!
Your technique is working. Thanks!

I chose your class because it was affordable,

I chose your class because it was affordable, I liked YOU, and because you emphasize communicating with your own animals.  Instead of pushing the goal of becoming a professional, which seems to be the focus of most of the other classes. I’m not opposed to that at all, but my MAIN aim is to chat with my babies. I want to know all about what makes them tick. They are in a sense some of my best friends, and who doesn’t want to know all kinds of things about their besties?

Your Animal Communication class 

laid the foundation for this whole awareness of what our animals are committed to when they choose to be with us humans. I had no idea about the depth of love, commitment and soul contracts our animals have. This is a new chapter for me, I am appreciating and learning.

Sadie’s  communication skills have grown exponentially

since I started working with Maribeth. Anyone who spends time with Sadie is impressed with how smart she is and how well she shares her feelings and desires.  I firmly believe this evolution is due to the work we have both done with Maribeth.

I have been consulting Maribeth for two years.

She is absolutely amazing! Maribeth has also become my teacher and friend.
I treasure my relationship with her. She has helped in grief and happiness and with just everyday problems with my 3 dogs.

Dogs experience the same grief we do but they see things differently. Maribeth was able to explain to them what was happening.I always tried and often failed to see things through my dogs’ perspective. Maribeth got us moving in the right direction.

When we are on vacation our three dogs spend a lot of time running off leash. Chef, our Golden, wandered too far. Like a young child he didn’t even hear me call him because he was too busy. I tried to tell him I needed to be able to see him. Maribeth talked to him and she explained to me that I need to tell him that he needs to be able to see me. It worked. I was coming at the problem from the opposite direction.

I started taking Maribeth’s UConnect classes. I have always wanted to communicate with my canine family but did not think it was possible. The big bonus is finding a great community of people who also want to communicate with their animals.

Since Maribeth became my teacher my communication skills have seriously improved. Chef (he is only 3) told me that he does not always understand what I want from him. That was a huge breakthrough for me! All the hours were worth it just for that. I would never have learned that without Maribeth.

My journey with Maribeth is just beginning and I can’t wait to learn more from her. We can all do this. It takes a lot of practice and we have to learn to clear our minds, get rid of all the chatter. Maribeth is very patient and explains things so they are much easier for me to understand.

I always felt that I had a connection

with my dog, Emma, but I wanted to know for sure – and fine tune my intuitive skills. I wasn’t very confident about my ability to connect telepathically – in any way, shape or form – until I took Maribeth Decker’s UConnect Class.

Thanks to Maribeth’s teaching and guidance, I have learned to not only connect with Emma, but also with my two guinea pigs and other UConnect members’ dogs! Maribeth creates a sacred environment for us to share our vulnerabilities, stories, frustrations, and celebrations. I’m so glad that I registered for UConnect.
Emma is too (she told me)!

I was initially intimidated by the idea

of sharing spiritual details in a group like the UConnect class. I was afraid I wouldn’t be as good as everybody else, but Maribeth made everybody comfortable with wherever they were. And it was fascinating to see how differently some of us received similar information. Not only do I feel like I understand my animals better, but I feel more grounded myself.

I absolutely loved the UConnect class

Maribeth’s compassion and knowledge are a great combination for someone new to this like was. I enrolled because friends had told me wonderful things about Maribeth. I have a rescue dog that, almost two years after her adoption, is still fearful of my husband. I wanted to understand what was going on and help her tell her story.

Since the class started, I have stronger relationships with both dogs. And Cammie is slowly becoming more trusting of my husband. I highly recommend this class for any animal lover who wants to further strengthen the bond with their animals.
