You’ve heard of the Horse Whisperer — now meet the woman who uses similar methods to train dogs.
Jan Fennell’s remarkable gifts have earned her the nickname “the dog listener”. Her unique understanding of the canine world and its instinctive language has enabled her to bring even the most desperate and delinquent of dogs to heel.
This easy-to-follow guide to understanding Jan’s simple techniques draws on her countless case histories of problem dogs — from biters and barkers to bicycle chasers — to show how we can bridge the language barrier that separates man from his best friend.
In The Dog Listener Jan shares her secrets, telling us how she grew determined to find a more compassionate alternative to standard “obedience” training techniques and ultimately how to communicate with canines.

    tried ignoring her by turning her head
  • Belice Dejlige Pollashas quoted5 years ago
    when the pack reunites after a separation, who is the boss now?
    when the pack is under attack or there is a fear of danger, who is going to protect them?
    when the pack goes on a hunt, who is going to lead them?
    when the pack eats food, what order do they eat in?
  • Annette Halvleg Vassinghas quoted6 years ago
    means the dog has been acknowledged, or paid homage to, that its behaviour has succeeded in getting attention and the dog has achieved what it wants. Its primacy has been confirmed. Even by turning around and saying ‘stop it’, an owner is allowing a dog to achieve its aim. The key to this then is that the dog must not be engaged with in any way. By this I mean no eye contact, no conversation, no touching unless it is to gently push the dog away. The owner must do nothing.
