Jan Fennell Dog Listener
Jan Fennell Recommended Associate Dog Listener
Jan Fennell is the internationally renowned author of several best selling books “The Dog Listener”, The Practical Dog Listener and “The Seven Ages Of Dog”. She has shared her discovery of the canine language helping us to see the world through the dogs eyes. Her method of communicating with dogs she calls “Amichien Bonding” is a holistic approach to dog behaviour and training where kindness and cooperation are paramount.
A lifetime passion for dogs led Jan to question traditional obedience training techniques, as no matter how gentle or kind the approach, by controlling the dogs action, this forces human will onto the dog.
After seeing Monty Roberts “The Horse Whisperer” in action in 1989, Jan began to formulate a way of working with dogs using their own language. Following the study of wolves and wild dogs helped Jan determine what previously had been missing in her work and with the help of her own dogs Jan devised Amichien Bonding.
