 "Must have" for any dog owner!! July 3, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book was recommended to me by my dog trainer, and I am so glad! I use this book so much - Jan really understands dogs. She has the solution to any training issue or behavioral difficulty you can think of. It's all about thinking like a dog, and trying to relate to them in order to understand and work with them more effectively. Training is so much easier and quicker when you apply her methods! And the dogs seem happier and more relaxed, just like she says! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who owns a dog, or is thinking about buying a dog!
Effective. Helps establish foundation for training your dog! April 16, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
A must read for all dog owners. Helps you to establish leadership within your "pack" using her 4 basic principals. I used this book as a building block to understand my dogs and establish an "Alpha" position within my pack. Once this is established, it makes training a lot easier. Other good books for understanding your dogs are "Other End of the Leash" and "Power of Positive Dog Training". For basic training I recommend "Clicking with Your Dogs" and Karen Pyor's "Clicker Training for Dogs."
New perspective for me! April 2, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
We are expecting a new puppy later this year and I've been educating myself on being a responsible and informed owner. We always had dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits and such growing up. I didn't think about it until I read this book but several of our dogs had, shall we say some interesting habits. Jan Fennell shares a little of the common history man shares with our beloved dogs, as well as what happens in a wolf pack in the wild. I have to say that my entire perspective regarding dogs behaviour and training have changed. Now, I see people walking their dogs or rather the dogs walking their human and I understand what their relationship is all about. I can't wait for our new puppy and so look forward to a happy and healthy life for her. If you want to know and love your dog on a whole new, healthier level this is a must read.
p.s. If you haven't already, please read up on a raw diet for your dog.
A GROUNDBREAKING READ! March 12, 2007

Reading Jan's Book is nothing short of a relevation. In a clear concise and easy to read format Jan reaches out to everyone of us who is privileged to share our life with dogs.Her opening chapter made me cry and I have only admiration for her honesty and courage at sharing her experience.
Most importantly Amichien Bonding works ~ my dogs responded instantly to the method~ as far as I am concerned every dog owner should own this book.
IT'S ESSENTIAL
Very Worthwhile March 9, 2007

There are so many dog training books out there -- it is refreshing to find one with a really positive approach. It reminds me of another favorite, "Adam's Task: Calling Animals by Name," by Vicki Hearne. Combining animal training with philosophy and literary criticism, it offers excellent insight into how animals communicate and respond to humans. The Atlantic Monthly called it "A fascinating and often surprising discussion of animal-human encounters." If you are an animal trainer-- or even just an animal lover-- it's definitely worth checking out.
