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.

Jean Donaldson knows her stuff and as a professional dog trainer I hold this book in high regards. I own both a physical copy of the book and an audio version. The audio narration of this book is so atrocious it is almost distracting. The narrator uses unnatural, almost robotic voice inflictions that do not match the flow of the writing. I find myself thinking about what could possibly have made the narrator choose to put emphasis on certain words and not others instead of paying attention to what is actually being said.Save your money and read the physical version of the book.

The Culture Clash A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding the Relationship Between Humans and Domestic Dogs (Audible Audio Edition) Jean Donaldson Vanessa Daniels Tantor Audio Books Reviews
Great read. At times the author uses words that are more complicated than necessary to express herself (and I had to look up their meaning), but it wasn’t often enough to stop me from reading the rest of this entertaining and informative book. In fact I couldn’t put it down! Her training philosophy is grounded in science and explained clearly with examples so you can follow along by the end of the book. I learned a lot and will find this book to be a great resource on the shelf that I can read several more times to pick up more nuanced pieces that I may have glossed over when I was initially learning the information. The first few chapters are fantastic where she explains what our world looks like from the point of view of the dog and what their tiny little lemon brain can actually comprehend and process ... and it’s a lot less than us humans would like to believe! I really got a lot out of the trouble-shooting potty training section having rescued a dog recently that I thought was potty trained because she did it correctly outside several times and didn’t realize she was also using my closet when I wasn’t looking and wasn’t taking her out often enough, whoops. We think its so clear the difference between inside and outside, yet they are discriminating different details such as the texture of what they are peeing on (carpet isn’t all that different from grass), or the fact that the owner is present or not. When we scold them for peeing inside they learn rather quickly that it is much safer to eliminate inside when we aren’t around! Now try and get them to stop peeing in your closet. The instructions for how to make your ball-disinterested dog fetch like a retriever really worked for my dog too! Clicking and treating any interest in the tennis ball had her bringing it to me in a manner of sessions. Very cool!!! I loved this book so much that I ordered several more by the author and plan to enroll in her training school when I can afford it.
SUGGESTED AUDIENCE Anyone who wants to increase their knowledge of canine behavior, and all who consider their dogs to be furry little people with values and morals.
I first read The Culture Clash in 1998 and have been recommending it ever since. People often ask me to recommend books and many times I have been hesitant because there are many bad ones and only a few good ones. The Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson is one of the better books on canine behavior. When first published in 1997, The Culture Clash received the prestigious Maxwell Award from the Dog Writer's Association of America as the Best Dog Training and Behavior Book of the year. More importantly, this book was one of the first to challenge the dominance myth and punishment based training.
In The Culture Clash, Donaldson helps us to understand our dogs as dogs, and not as furry little creatures that we too often attribute with human like characteristics. Donaldson's refreshingly new approach has had a tremendous effect on the relations I have with my dogs and my understanding of why they do what they do.
Unfortunately, the depiction of dogs by the mass media, and even many dog people, has created some all to common misconceptions about dogs that they have morals, know when they have done something wrong, are capable of planning revenge, and have a desire to please. This has done a great disservice to all dogs, resulting in our giving them human like responsibilities and then being disappointed when they cannot live up to our expectations.
Our dogs' failure to live up to our standards has also led to the proliferation of the "dominance theory" in the dog-human relationship. This in turn has led to the use of punishment based training techniques because of the emphasis on "showing the dog you are the leader." Donaldson convincingly demonstrates that dogs are NOT disobedient because they are trying to be dominant, but because they do not understand what a cue means or they find other instinctual stimulus to be more motivating than what we are asking of them (e.g. asking them to come when chasing a squirrel). Once we understand this and start applying scientifically validated learning theories to training our dog, we discover that dominance is totally irrelevant. This is evident in our training classes at Green Acres where young children are training the family dog as easily, and sometimes more effectively than their parents.
Donaldson explains how our dogs' instinctual behaviors can actually be used to make them even better companions. For example, many old school training books would tell you never, ever allow your dog to play "tug-of-war" because it will make the dog dominant. This advice is totally erroneous. As Donaldson explains, dogs in the wild tugging together at a carcass are NOT trying to dominate one another; they are working cooperatively together to dissect the carcass. By playing tug with our dog, with rules of course, we are not making them aggressive, but are building a bond by working together cooperatively as a pack. You will find that for many dogs playing tug is a very motivating reward, possibly more motivating than chasing that squirrel.
Definitely the BEST book for dog training!! Much better than "Don"t Shoot the Dog" which I found dull reading. The name, Culture Clash is seriously a poor title choice. I only bought this book because of reader reviews. ! This book is literally a PAGE-TURNER!! I can't believe that I have been sabotaging my own dogs. Dogs don't think like humans...Why does a house-trained dog continue to go potty in the house when the owner leaves? Why do some dogs shake during thunderstorms and how to overcome it? ...read the book and get the OMG moments like I did!! I promise, you too will enthusiastically give Culture Clash 5 stars! This book is like inviting the dog trainer from class to come home with you and expand the lessons you've learned in class! You and your dog will be happy!
Jean Donaldson knows her stuff and as a professional dog trainer I hold this book in high regards. I own both a physical copy of the book and an audio version.
