The Language of Dogs

Amichien Bonding®  is a simple and natural method of communicating with dogs, developed by Jan Fennell, the internationally acclaimed Dog Listener.

A lifetime passion for dogs led Jan to question traditional dog training techniques. Inspired by the work of the world renowned Horse Whisperer – Monty Roberts, Jan began formulating a way of working with dogs using their own language  by studying the way in which wolves and other wild dogs communicated with each other. It’s a language our domestic dogs instinctively understand even after thousands of years of evolution.

Amichien Bonding® is a method of communicating to our dogs, to help them find their place within the pack (you and your family), and to encourage them to elect us as leaders of their own free will.  In the wild, the hierarchy of the wolf pack is constantly reinforced through the use of highly ritualized behavior.  Jan’s method teaches us to mimic these rituals, by giving our dogs calm, consistent signals every day.

Amichien Bonding® is not a quick-fix for behavioural problems but a method to be implemented calmly and consistently and soon becomes a way of life. Gentle, respectful, simple and effective – a technique you’ll have for life.

Jan Fennell is the author of  several bestsellers, including “The Dog Listener” and “The Seven Ages of your Dog” and I encourage you to read these books, available in most libraries or bookstores.

Along with her son, Tony Knight, A Dog Listener since 1999, Jan has trained many Dog Listeners around the world who are sharing their knowledge with numerous dog owners.
