Dog Listening is the kind, gentle and holistic
way of changing our dogs' undesirable behavior
using their own instinctive language.

Being direct descendants of wolves, domestic dogs possess an ancient and deep-rooted pack instinct.  Like their wolf ancestors, our dogs see the world through a strict and unyielding hierarchical lens, and therefore think and behave according to that structure.

The foundation for Dog Listening is based on the ways that wolf pack members communicate with each other in order to maintain the structure and integrity of the pack.  This integrity is absolutely vital to the survival of the pack as a whole as well as its individual members, and our dogs have this same instinctive mandate.

Dog Listening uses a method known as “Amichien Bonding”.  Amichien Bonding was developed by Jan Fennell, and is the result of her extensive study of wolves, wolf packs, and the instinctive language they use to communicate with each other.
