A practitioner first. A researcher second. Always a teacher.
Dr Jennens graduated from the University of Waikato with a Master of Social Sciences majoring in Zoology and Psychology, then completed a doctorate at Murdoch University on dog attacks on livestock.
In 1990 he founded AMREX — at one stage the largest private dog training and behaviour organisation in Australia — and has since published, lectured and consulted across the field. After many years in Perth and Brisbane, he now practises in Sydney.
Most clients come for in-home consultations or the puppy program. Authorities, solicitors and conference organisers engage Dr Jennens through the advisory practice.
