The text, written by an American dog trainer and an Aussie-owner, is mainly about general dog care and only for a small part about the Aussie itself. The DOGLISTENER Author: Jan Fennell Jan's first book is an inspirational and at times moving read. She tells of the tragic death that first led her to reassess conventional attitudes to dogs. She describes how she grew determined to find a more compassionate alternative to standard "obedience" training techniques. Most importantly of all, she provides an easy-to-follow guide to understanding her technique, a method made all the more remarkable by its simplicity. Drawing on a wide range of case histories that include even the most desperate and delinquent of dogs, Jan shows how she has learnt to communicate with man's best friend, and how anyone can learn this language. Her book will fascinate animal lovers and prove indispensable to dog lovers   Write to me if you have more books about aussies or good stuff about dogs E-mail: Kennel@ligaen.net
