Monty Roberts and Jan Fennell

"Inspired by Monty Roberts, Jan Fennell embraces similar ideas to those found in The Man Who Listens to Horses. Rather than trying to fit human psychology to animals, the starting point is observing how animals communicate, how they structure their groups in the wild and what they think their role is."

"When we understand and respect a dog's mindset, effective training can be done with intelligence and compassion."

"She met the famed Monty Roberts, author of The Man Who Listens to Horses. Fennell's attitude to dogs and her life changed entirely on that afternoon in 1990. Enthused by what Monty could achieve with horses, she decided to try to apply his principles to canines."
