From puppy hood to adulthood regardless of the dog’s age or gender this book I can grantee is applicable to any animal *although it is not a solution to aggression. I was thoroughly entranced by this intriguing, absorbing and completely captivating book that truly impressed me, and if nothing else made me appreciate my loyal and trusted companions even more. Using case studies as reflections alongside talking about her own dogs, and dogs in general Jan Fennell paints a clear picture of dog behavior, instincts and attitude towards other canines and humans. This is a read that I cannot fault and nor can I not enthuse about enough, for it is truly magical and a very bold step which I recommend that we all take. Due to this, many of Fennell's beliefs are considered dated and archaic, no longer being scientifically accurate. [4] Fennell's method, called Amichien Bonding (from the French 'ami', meaning 'friend' and 'chien', meaning 'dog'), emphasizes learning the signals (in her opinion) by which dogs recognize leadership, and using them consistently so that the dog perceives the owner as 'alpha' and itself as subordinate. It can then possibly trust its owner to take decisions and will become contented and relaxed. Fennell does not believe in physically dominating or chastising the dog.

Jan Fennell has acquired a reputation for being extremely and consistently successful with dog training. Jan was originally inspired by renowned horseman, Monty Roberts and set out to find a way to transfer his philosophy of working without force, aids or gadgets to working with dogs. The goal was to get dogs to cooperate of their own free will by using a language they could actually, clearly, understand and not by enforced dominance.Jan teaches dog owners, not dogs, and that is because dogs already know what Jan is trying to teach their carers; how to best communicate with them. This method represents my dream of finding a simple way for both dog and carer to communicate in a way that both can really understand, removing the confusion that can cause difficulties in this partnership. Once applied Amichien® Bonding will help create a perfect, trusting friendship and should be seen as the foundation for a wonderful future together. In this audio Jan talks about aspects of teaching AB that she feels were missing from her first book; “The Dog Listener” and discusses some of the cases she has had over the last 25 years. Jan Fennell is the international best selling author of “The Dog Listener” and her method; Amichien Bonding is used by tens of thousands of dog owners worldwide. The success of her method has resulted in six books being translated into 27 languages and published in 34 countries!

This way she can assist as many dogs (and their owners) as possible. So far, these courses have been held in the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands, Italy and France.

Jan continued to visit dog owners to assist with their problems but couldn’t possibly reach as many dog owners as she would like, so she set up a team of Dog Listeners, all trained by her, to reach as many people as possible. Amichien Bonding essentially means the dog is consistently shown by the owner that the human half of the partnership is responsible for making decisions. The dog is not physically dominated, but is trained through, among other behaviors, ignoring the animal at certain times: this is done to reassure it that it is not the one responsible for leadership and decision-making. There is dispute over whether this type of training program can have negative effects and it has been called "psychologically cruel" by one author. [6] Other dog trainers/owners believe it is a harmless and effective way of indicating to the dog which behaviors are acceptable and which are not.

This is a really interesting book for those that have dogs that don't fit in with your idea of the perfect pet! My unique time tested method has given me a 98% success rate in just one session, no matter how severe the issues may be. I use a physclogical approach that takes advantage of the fact that all dogs have 98% wolf DNS that has been passed down to all our domestic dogs, so he understand what I'm asking him to do instictively. So its not about the command and rewards, it's dog language. She was soon approached by renowned publishers Harper Collins and her first book, “The Dog Listener” was the result, first published in 2000 and never out of print since.When the owner/carer has this essential information, they are then able to permanently resolve any undesirable behaviours that their dogs may have developed. And for those starting life with a puppy or rescue dog, her method again ensures that every owner/carer will understand how to ensure that no bad, or undesirable behaviours ever begin. In explaining how to implement this lifestyle (and she emphasizes that it needs to be a lifestyle, not a temporary fix), Fennell emphasizes the two C's of being calm and consistent. I'd add a third - being conscious. The book has really encouraged me to pay closer attention to my dog's behavior, and to remember to consider how things look from his point of view.
