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
