 The only book I recommend to ALL dog owners! May 18, 1998
53 out of 57 found this review helpful
I am a professional dog trainer, and *Culture Clash* is the only book I recommend to all dog owners, regardless of experience with dogs, training knowledge and ability, etc. Donaldson covers what I feel is the most important aspect of dog ownership -- bite prevention -- with a thoroughness that no other book does. Rather than blaming the dog for doing what comes naturally, she teaches the reader how to change the dog's natural responses to ones that are acceptable to human beings. And this will save many dogs' lives.Donaldson has been criticized for her up-front language, particularly when it comes to her criticisms of traditional (largely competitive) obedience trainers. But this is one of the things I like BEST about the book. Rather than pussyfoot around the issue of punishment, she confronts it head-on and then offers alternatives. A wonderful book that is not only very informative, but so well-written that you read it like a novel.
Best dog (and owner) training book around... May 6, 1998
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Donaldson not only knows dogs, she offers practical and constructive advice that makes dog training a joy. You'll want to read this book at least once, preferably before bringing a new pup or dog home.
A truly outstanding book on dog training and psychology April 9, 1998
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Whether you are a seasoned dog trainer or a new dog owner, you will absolutely benefit from reading this book. Jean Donaldson displays a true understanding of the canine mind, combined with a common-sense and practical approach to dog training. Most importantly, her writing style is entertaining enough to keep you reading zealously til the end.
