Janet ~ heart of Pearlwynd, behind the scenes ensuring smooth sailing as we navigate our growth & expansion. She is a dog lover & has 2 rather mad working Springer Spaniels, Bennie & Buster.
Jan is a human behaviorist of some note having studied with Paul Makenna, Richard Bandler & Tony Robbins to name a few. She is a graduate of Life Mastery University, Coaching Academy & NLP academy, as well as Management School. She is as keen an observer of humans as Flick is of dogs. She is the one checking that we don't forget the human element. Bennie & Buster, still pups, were practically feral when she got them, & had littermate syndrome. Their fear-based Pica & behavioural issues have already resulted in surgery. If you designed a "dummy" dog to test every training effort & every boundary they would be perfect!! Buster's fear makes everything hard, Janet came to Pearlwynd because other trainers had failed her several times & she immediately connected with Flick's deeply intuitive understanding of every behaviour nuance & respected the shear magnitude of Flick's ability to see what you don't see. She wants others to know just how different Pearlwynd is & with patience what can be achieved. She is still trying to work out why the pups put on their best behaviour when Flick is around......a secret invisible whip? Maybe!
