The Culture Clash

A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding the Relationship Between Humans and Domestic Dogs

By: Jean Donaldson

Narrated by: Vanessa Daniels

Generations of dogs have been labeled training lemons for requiring actual motivation when all along they were perfectly normal. Numerous other completely and utterly normal dogs have been branded as canine misfits simply because they grew up to act like dogs. Barking, chewing, sniffing, licking, jumping up, and occasionally (just like people) having arguments are as normal and natural for dogs as wagging tails and burying bones. However, all dogs need to be taught how to modify their normal and natural behaviors to adjust to human culture. Sadly, all too often, when the dog's way of life conflicts with human rules and standards, many dogs are discarded and summarily put to death. That's quite the Culture Clash.

Though not a perfect narrator,

not as bad as I feared and doesn't ruin the quality of the audiobook.

Stuffed with historic and practical information, this should be a must-read for any dog owner.

Loved this book!

Loved this book. I don't agree with using pain to train so this book was right up my alley. very well done and educational.

A must read for dog owners and dog trainers.

Extremely insightful information all dog owners should know. Very helpful for professional trainers too. Tips that can be used in teachng as well as day-to-day life.
Having watched several seminars with Jean Donaldson, I can easily say the narrator did a terrible job with voice inflection, proper emphasis, and tone.

Required for all dog owners

This should be required reading for all dog owners. Still relevant today concepts that improve the relationship you have with your dog. Love me some Jean Donaldson!

love the book

Jean Donaldson is a master at dog behavior and training. I am not a novice and I feel like I have learned so much more from this book than expected. I will be rereading it for sure. the narrator is just terrible.
