About Imogen & 'Amichien' bonding
For over 25 years I have worked with people and their problems and I am an Accredited Member of The British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy. It might appear that working with dogs is a huge departure, but I have always lived with dogs, horses and other animals, and I know first hand how important, challenging, rewarding and harrowing these relationships can be. I am especially aware of how problems with dogs can impact upon other areas, and vice versa, and how the loss of a much loved pet can be devastating to us.
I came across Jan Fennell's work whilst bringing up two pups and accommodating our adult rescued terrier. They presented challenges which I was not comfortable were being fully addressed by obedience classes. I have also become aware of the power of correct feeding for the dog, and the influence this can have on temperament.
Having taken the foundation course with Jan & Tony, and seen the impact of the method on our family life, I decided that this is something that needs to be shared as widely as possible. That decision is confirmed again and again as other dogs relax and benefit from ‘Amichien bonding'.
I recognise that my working life has been focussed upon helping people find their most comfortable and rewarding place in their world. Now I am pleased to say I can help to do that for dogs and their humans too.
