About this product
Product Information
You've heard of the Horse Whisperer - now meet the woman who uses similar methods to train dogs. Jan Fennell's remarkable gifts have earned her the nickname the dog listener . Her unique understanding of the canine world and its instinctive language has enabled her to bring even the most desperate and delinquent of dogs to heel. This easy-to-follow guide to understanding Jan's simple techniques draws on her countless case histories of problem dogs - from biters and barkers to bicycle chasers - to show how we can bridge the language barrier that separates man from his best friend. In The Dog Listener Jan shares her secrets, telling us how she grew determined to find a more compassionate alternative to standard obedience training techniques and ultimately how to communicate with canines.Product Identifiers

Good tips in understanding your dog or dogs
I personally like the way Jan Fennel explains simply following the first chapter. She realised what was happening with her own dogs and the hierarchy they were creating. Plus she explains where she had been going wrong with her dogs, for example, in just taking them for a walk. Also how her dogs greet her and barking when visitors came. So simple when she explains. The trigger for her was when she bought a German Shepherd puppy and watched the dogs behaviour. She realised that dogs work from body language and not from someone shouting at them. Told more like a story and not a tutorialVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Dog Listening
I haven’t read all of this book yet as I need to go slowly and take it in. For me there’s a lot to learn!!! I find the art of dog listening is fascinating and I intend to use this method to train my Shih-Poo Teddy. All I can say is it’s worth a try.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

some dated ideas and a bit long winded but a very helpful guide
I lost my previous copy and found it very useful in the long process of turning round a rescue dog who came to live with me from being terrified and reactive to other dogs to being calm an enjoying life. I now have another rescue dog and there are issues which are not resolved and others which have developed. I am looking for this book again! So I ordered this and as a used copy it was very good value and in very good condition and better than my last copy as in hard back which is better for a reference book I regularly dip into.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very good book
This book is essential for loving dog owners,who want to understand their friends and help them cooperate in a way a dog understands. We humanise dogs to often, but it proves to be confusing for dogs and often creates problems and stress for both.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
