Jan Fennell - The Dog Listener
Hello,Im pretty new to this forum so excuse me if this has already been brought up but how many people have read Jan Fennels book, 'The Dog Listener'?
I personally think it is a fantastic book and a real eye opener, it really makes you think about why your dog is really behaving the way it is (IMO that is! )
Whats your opinions on this?

Her approach is too 'one size fit all' for my liking as there is little regard individual dog - she applies her methods across the board regardless of breed, history etc.
If you do a search on here for JF or dog listener, you'll find many old threads where her methods have been discussed.

However, it's worth pointing out in advance that, in my opinion, the methods are a complete waste of time, energy and money!!!

I thought it a bit harsh for my dopey English setter, who are not 'dominant' dogs anyway, just norty
But its up to each owner, you know what works best for your dog, as they live in your house with you.....
