Please tell us about your career.

Tanja: I studied earth sciences at ETH and am now a geologist in an engineering office. There I deal with topics such as subsoil, groundwater and contaminated sites.

What kind of training did you complete at the Dolittle Institute?

Tanja: I am currently on the annual animal communication course with Tanja Bärtschiger at the Dolittle Institute.

Désirée: I am completing the annual course in animal communication at Dolittle - together with Tanja.

Why animal communication?

Tanja: I have a horse and came to animal communication through it. I have known this profession since I was a child. Although I was fascinated by this profession, I decided to change career direction. I bought my horse when he was one year old - but he had had little to do with people in his life so far. When I started training him, after initial successes, he became very overwhelmed, which manifested itself in panic attacks. I then wanted to find out whether this was due to physical reasons or comprehension problems, or whether it was simply a phase that would pass. After medical and orthopaedic checks, I came across animal communication. This revealed that he really doesn't know exactly what is wanted and expected of him. At Dolittle's practice, I met Tanja Bärtschiger, with whom I now attend training. By knowing the reasons for his behavior, I was able to understand my horse better and accept his behavior. This better mutual understanding has ultimately led to great leaps in my horse's development.

Désirée: My colleague Tanja introduced me to animal communication. She told me about it and got me excited about it. I've always had animals too. I've also always been interested in mediumship and sensitive work. Tanja then sent me a link to the Dolittle website. There I found out more about the animal communication training. I knew then and there that I would do it and go there with Tanja.

How did you come across Dolittle?

Tanja: I came across Dolittle's website through research on the internet and I liked it straight away. It suited me and my needs right from the start. Later it was also logical for me to attend the annual training in animal communication there. I was even able to persuade Désirée to join me.

Désirée: Yes, exactly. Tanja convinced me to do it.

What do you like best about Dolittle School?

Tanja: The Dolittle school is very personal. We have a good group constellation and good cohesion in the class. I also learn a lot for myself in the animal communication course. For me, it's the overall package that makes Dolittle special: it's informal, on an equal footing, good interaction with each other, learning content and lots of insights for myself and my everyday life. The training also makes a serious impression. It is well structured and has an official character.

Désirée: What I like best about the animal communicator training at Dolittle is the content. But also the other participants, because we really have a great group. Tanja Bärtschiger is also a great teacher. The atmosphere is very informal. We are a small, well-coordinated group in which we can confide in each other and exchange ideas.

Have you become happier or more balanced as a result of the animal communication training?

Tanja: Yes, I personally have become much more balanced. I can now deal with many situations in a completely different way. Even if I get angry, I can calm down much more quickly now. I can also look at things from a different perspective much better now. And laugh at myself a lot more, as I no longer take myself quite as seriously as I used to...

Désirée: The training has made me calmer and more at ease with myself.

What aspects of the animal communicator training course are particularly helpful to you?

Tanja: I actually really liked all the content of the wide-ranging training in animal communication. The course content has a good structure - there is one milestone after the other. This means you can learn in a structured and constructive way and are not immediately overwhelmed. It is actually the interplay of all the content that really opens up access to animal communication. We learn different methods and everyone can use and combine the methods that suit them best.

Désirée: I find the course content very interesting in general. There are many different aspects and each module focuses on something different: mediumistic work, shakra, animal communication, etc. I think this varied palette is what makes the whole thing special.

When did you enjoy the lessons the most?

Tanja: I really enjoyed many situations during the lessons. Especially the discussions with each other and the exchange of experiences about personal experiences through meditations and animal communications. I experienced many situations that opened my heart and brought me joy.

Désirée: I like the good mix of theory and practice in the lessons. I can put the informative and instructive theoretical input directly into practice. And there really is enough time for these practical exercises so that the points discussed can actually be practiced in practice.

Who would you recommend an animal communication course to?

Tanja: I would recommend the annual course to anyone who would like to work intensively with animal communication. In addition, course participants should also like to deal with themselves in order to be able to advance their personal development. If you are interested and open to the subject of animal communication and personal development, I can really recommend the course to everyone.

Désirée: I would recommend the animal communication course to people who have a general interest in the subject and already have some idea about it. Such training is less suitable for skeptics. People who are very fond of animals and would like to get involved in this type of communication. You should be open to this.

Did you have a key experience during your training?

Tanja: One moment I will never forget was the Spirit Guides and Power Animals module. It was very intense. It also showed me a lot about myself. When it comes to animal communication in general, it was amazing for me how intense it can be and how much information I can get from it. As a person from the scientific field, I hadn't expected this at all. It really opened my eyes and I had some formative moments.

Désirée: I had a really special moment. I came to the training with the ulterior motive that I believed in animal communication, but I had a skeptical voice in the background. I didn't know whether it would really work that way or whether it would be a kind of imagination. During the first animal communication, I had a thought about a black flamingo that I couldn't explain. The cat's owner then went to the wastepaper basket and took out a black decorative flamingo and said that the cat had broken it yesterday. That was the "Wow, it really works!" moment for me.

How was the atmosphere in the class and with the lecturer Tanja Bärtschiger?

Tanja: The atmosphere in the animal communication training course is very good. We are all very open-minded. We all look out for each other. Everyone is there for everyone else. If I have problems, I find advice and help in the group chat. I feel well supported by the group during intense times. Tanja also communicates the learning steps and course content very well. She takes each individual course participant into account as much as possible. If you have any problems, you can always contact her directly. It's very informal and open-minded at Dolittle.

Désirée: There's a good atmosphere. Tanja Bärtschiger is a very upbeat and caring person. She makes the lessons very informal. You immediately feel at ease and understood. She naturally has a great deal of specialist knowledge and a huge pool of experience from which you can benefit a lot. I really enjoy listening to her when she talks about her own experiences.

What is your aim with the animal communication course?

Tanja: I want to work part-time in animal communication to be able to help others with problems with their animals. This should be a balance to my office job. Because I really enjoy animal communication. However, I will have to practise a lot first.

Désirée: I would like to continue working as a teacher in the future. However, I will certainly incorporate aspects from the course into my lessons in order to understand my students better or differently. I would like to create a website at some point to help other people with animals or myself. But that is still up in the air.
