Dog-nosis™: Using Hypnosis to Deepen the Bond Between Humans and Their Pets
Step into a heart-centered, humorous, and hypnotic experience with Thom & Cindy Somes, co-founders of Pet Tech, the first international training center dedicated to CPR, First Aid & Care for dogs and cats. In this playful yet powerful session, you’ll discover how Hypnosis & NLP can deepen the People + Pet Bond (PPB)—a source of deep emotion, healing, growth, and lifelong connection.
Through storytelling, light trance, and vivid imagery, Thom & Cindy introduce Dog-nosis™—a science-backed and intuitive approach to pet connection that helps hypnotists and pet parents alike build safer, stronger, and more harmonious relationships with their animals. From laughter to soulful inductions like the Hand/Paw Clasp and the Dog Park in Your Heart, this dynamic duo weaves together hypnosis, humor, and heart into an unforgettable journey.
Whether you’re a practicing hypnotist, a passionate pet parent, or both, you’ll gain practical tools, proven techniques, and fascinating insights into canine psychology (and yes… sometimes cats too). You’ll leave inspired with new ways of communicating with and caring for your furry four-legged family members.
Because once you’ve been “Bow-Wowed”… you’ll never look at your pets the same way again.
And here’s a question to ponder: Have you ever considered a hypnotic skill or technique that could work on a dog or cat? If so, Thom & Cindy want to hear about it!
