Amichien Bonding ™
Jan Fennell Recommended Associate Dog Listener
Amichien Bonding ™ is a way of working and living with our dogs to help them find their place within our pack and to encourage them to elect us as leaders of their own free will.
Using calm and consistent signals to the dogs. It is not traditional dog training or obedience methods. It is just a natural way of communicating with your dog. This does not involve any force, pain or shouting and certainly no expensive gadgets.
Why does Amichien Bonding work?
Domestic Dogs, being direct descendants of Wolves, are pack animals. Amichien Bonding ™ is based on pack behaviour and works with the dogs natural instincts. Like wolves, dogs need to follow a strict code of hierarchy. They know from the time they are born that their very survival depends on having strong leaders. Many of us often give our dogs mixed signals as to who is in charge, leaving the dog no choice but to assumes the role of leader.
Why should I want my dog to see me as leader
When a dog trys to take on the role of leadership of the pack (the family) it’s reactions to daily events are considered as bad behaviour. Because the dog cannot succeed in the leadership role, it becomes stressed and behaviour worsens. Stress will manifest in the following behaviours
- Destruction in the home
- Constantly pacing in the house
- Excessive barking
- Soiling in the home
- Tail chasing/foot chewing
- Any obsessive behaviour
- Aggression
- Pulling on the lead
- Displays of nervousness or fear
- Eating/feeding problems
