Amichien Bonding & Jan Fennell

Is anyone familiar with Jan Fennell and Amichien Bonding? I have an opportunity to go to a seminar about this type of interaction with dogs but am not sure if it's really going to be worthwhile. I'm getting good results with clicker training although still have a few things to work on :-)

Brainwork for Smart Dogs

I recently purchased the e-book "Brainwork for Smart Dogs" (from a link on this web site). In the book, the author is very insistent that commands not be English words that may come up in normal conversation and which may confuse the dog. Instead he suggests made-up or nonsense words.

What I would like to know is how important is this requirement? I clicker train my dog and use English words for cues. I've never heard of a need to use meaningless words instead.
