Amichien Bonding is a method of of establishing ourselves as leader of our pack in the the minds of those most important- the dog's.
Jan Fennell developed this method after seeing Monty Roberts, The Horse Whisperer, work with an "unbroken" horse of one of her friends. She realised that if you could influence a horse's behaviour by learning the way they communicate, you could also do the same with dogs. She set out to learn as much as she could by studying the behaviour of wolves, dingoes and African wild dogs. She soon realised that the behaviours exhibited by these wild dogs were the same as those she noted in her own dogs.
Applying what she she had observed Jan set about convincing her own pack that she was indeed a worthy leader, that she could provide what they instinctively knew they needed for survival. Eventually Jan refined this down to four key elements.

If you provide all four elements in a calm, patient and consistent manner, your dog will accept you as leader.

Nowhere in this method is there the use of force, aggression, gadgets, choke chains or fear. You simply convey your status of leader in a way that your dog understands.
