 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.

 The
Seven Ages of Your Dog
Author: Jan Fennell
Do our dogs experience the equivalent of infancy and puberty? Do they
go through terrible teens or struggle with mid-life crises? And what
can we do to ensure they take each step in their stride? Best-selling
author Jan Fennell leads us through the key stages of a dog's
development by uniquely defining the seven ages of man's best friend.
I very much recommend this book for owners of new puppies and dogs. It

 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.
