Accreditation with Jan Fennell - the UK Dog Listener
During the first half of 2007 I completed 20 detailed Dog Listening client case studies to Jan Fennells's satisfaction and now hold the status as a Recommended Associate of Jan Fennell. See Jan's website for information:

Thanks to all my clients who assisted with this process by contributing detailed feedback and evaluations to Jan. Jan's quality control is part of her commitment to best practice and service to clients.

UK Dog Listening Tour - July & August 2007
I travelled to England again this year to spend time with Jan Fennell and her son, Tony Knight, while they were conducting advanced Dog Listening courses. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn more and it's always a thrill to see Jan with her own large pack of dogs. I met many UK and European Dog Listeners whilst travelling and have already benefited from shared experience.
Whilst visiting Sweden I had the opportunity for a radio interview and a press interview, to spread the word on the benefits of Dog Listening.

Jan Fennell's 2007 Tour of Australia and New Zealand
Jan toured New Zealand and Australia again in October and November, giving numerous public talks and presenting one or more training programs in 5 cities. All venues and programs were sold out, and the response from the public and media was tremendous. Jan gave many radio and press interviews and appeared on Australian and New Zealand television. I had the opportunity to meet up with Jan, and other Australian and New Zealand Dog Listeners (see Links), in Auckland and Perth.

Tony Knight - Tour of Australia and New Zealand - May 2008
Jan's son Tony is the principal instructor for Jan's Advanced Canine Communication Courses and is now confirmed to come to Australia and New Zealand to present courses and give public talks in May 2008. I am currently planning for him to visit Tasmania as part of the May Tour, so please email me if you would like to register your interest. This will be a wonderful opportunity to hear from a very experienced Dog Listener and Trainer.

Other 2007 highlights
As well as working with individual clients this year I have enjoyed presenting talks on Dog Listening to members of the German Shepherd Dog Club (http://www.gsdct.com/) and volunteers at the Hobart Dogs' Home - http://www.dogshomesoftas.com.au/.
In October, I accepted the role as President of the Kingborough Dog Walkers' Association (KDWA). This is a local lobby group working hard to promote the establishment and maintenance of facilities for dog walkers in the local council area, and in conjunction with other similar groups - across Hobart. Promotion of responsible pet ownership and lobbying State government on key pet issues is also part of our Association's goals. See http://www.dogwalkinghobart.info
