Do animals also try to communicate with people?

Absolutely! Our domesticated pets are excellent examples of animals who consistenty try to communicate with humans.
Any caring person who’s ever been on the receiving end of intense shining eyes, alert ears, and wagging tails can usually comprehend the message they’re trying to communicate -- I want a treat, let’s play, let’s go for a walk, let’s go for a ride in the car. Or a pet may communicate that he or she needs to go outdoors, wants dinner, or wants an ear or body massage.
Our pets often have to add some body language when they express their thoughts in order to accurately get their messages across to us.

Animal communication is a great tool to use to find out what your animal companion is thinking or feeling, what their needs are, how they’re handling relationships with another person or pet, how they feel about a particular place or a situation in their lives, or what their lives were like before they came to live with you.
