Dog Listener TV series Old fashioned dog training has long advocated the use of choke collars, sharp smacks and harsh dominance style language. Jan Fennell, a dog trainer in England for 30 years, wants to change all that. Expanding on the theories of horse trainer Monty Roberts (the basis for The Horse Whisperer), Jan Fennell believes one can best train dogs by emulating natural behaviours, that is, by treating them as they would treat each other in the wild.
Her intelligent, straightforward and humane method has engendered controversy and increasing enthusiasm world-wide.
Jan Fennell's simple and succinct method posits that domesticated dogs are confused, believing themselves to be the pack leaders, and humans their subordinates. She retrains dogs to accept a human as their alpha leader. Those wanting true canine companionship will find this commonsense approach attractive and easy to apply with puppies as well as with older dogs.
She addresses common problems, from separation anxiety to barking at guests to the mistrust of strangers that rescued dogs often harbour. Her knowledge and love of dogs is expansive and her concern for their well-being balances kindness and appropriate discipline.

A Dog's Best Friend
Author: Jan Fennell
In A Dog's Best Friend, Jan outlines the qualities that distinguish the good owner from the great one, sharing the secrets of how we can all become the pet owners our dogs deserve. Drawing on her own inspirational experiences, she illustrates the importance of qualities such as patience and leadership, and gives tips on improving as an owner.
In an age of selfishness and misunderstanding, the virtues of duty, loyalty and sacrifice have become symbols of a bygone age. Perhaps this is one reason why we are drawn to our dogs - creatures for whom all these attributes are instinctive. In this series, Jan recounts some of the greatest acts of kindness, heroism, loyalty and compassion.

Friends for Life
Author: Jan Fennell
Full of anecdotal case-histories this title shows how Jan Fennell's gifts have won her the admiration of dog lovers worldwide. The author tells the story of the personal journey that led her to success - and the crucial part her canine companions played in her development. She reveals how her bond with dogs was forged amid the personal sadness of her childhood in London, an often traumatic period when it seemed Jan's beloved pets were her only source of unconditional love. She goes on to describe her experiences as a young mother, struggling to establish herself in an unfamiliar - and sometimes hostile - rural Lincolnshire community.
Her story eventually turns into a version of "The Good Life": a self-sufficient idyll, inhabited by colourful characters - both human and canine. But when it sours it is her dogs - once more - who provide Jan with her strength and inspiration, and an unexpected new lease of life.
The book is filled with larger-than-life personalities who have shaped Jan's eventful life. Above all, however, it is the story of a woman's struggle against the odds, and the life-long love affair that has been the key to her survival.
