Forums such as this enable people to swap their knowledge, and to share their experiences. Jan is a great lady. I actually knew her before she became famous, and her books make great reading. Indeed I have them all.

Equally, there are other behaviourists out there who may use slightly different methods of training, such as Roger Mugford. I have been privileged to work with Roger and what people may not know, is the court work he undertakes on behalf of dogs on death row. Jilly thank you for the info on Jan's work shops. I would certainly recommend them to anyone who wants to understand their dogs behaviour and she also has a great website.

I would just ask every owner to remember that each dog has their OWN personality and what works for one may not necessarily work for another. So keep trying until you find the method that works for your dog. With a little patience most problems can be solved.
