Average Customer Ratings:
*The Culture Clash is special. Written in Jean's inimitably informal yet precise lecture style, the book races along on par with a good thriller. *The Culture Clash depicts dogs as they really are - stripped of their Hollywood fluff, with their loveable 'can I eat it, chew it, urinate on it, what's in it for me' philosophy. Jean's tremendous affection for dogs shines through at all times, as does her keen insight into the dog's mind. Relentlessly she champions the dog's point of view, always showing concern for their education and well being. Without a doubt, Jean's book is the hottest doggy item on the market. Best Training Book Of The Year! (Maxwell Award)

The Best Thing Ever Written About Dogs -
To be frank, when I read this book years ago it changed my life. I kept saying, "YES! Yes!" to things. I reread it every year or two, and I hand copies out to friends. Spectacular. The best.

If you love dogs, you should read this book -
When I read this book, I already knew a lot of what Jean Donaldson says about animal behavior. But somehow, it never occurred to apply it to dogs....at least not in my heart of hearts. Her idea is that dogs are not audacious creatures who are plotting a coup and that most of their less than desirable behaviors (and many of the things we find "cute" as well) are not, in fact, attempts to become the "pack alpha" but are just dogs being dogs and doing the things that they think (or have learned) will be rewarding to them. And dogs do not think the way we do. As with any other organism with a nervous system, we can get dogs to do the things we want without punishing them and shutting them down but simply by rewarding the things we DO want them to do in ways that are salient to them and failing to reward (or allow them to be rewarded) for doing the things we do not like. Maybe, just maybe, we will enjoy a stronger bond with our dogs if they associate us with "good things" that they like rather than with punishment. WoW! A couple years later, I started agility training and that reinforced my "conversion" to reward based training. I got to see the amazing things you can get a dog to do in a very distracting environment (full of strange dogs and strange people and fascinating smells)using only rewards for desired behavior (since the goals in agility are speed as well as focus and accuracy, you do NOT achieve success by punishing a dog until it becomes "cautious" and shuts down).
Why am I reviewing this book now? Because it amazes me that after so many years, so many dog lovers have not read this book or any of the others by various experts on scientifically based "positive dog training" such as Paul Owen, Ian Dunbar, Karen Pryor or Sheila Booth. Everything from web sites to popular TV shows and even some vets still promote the idea that pretty much all of the things dogs do that we don't like (and even any sign of spontaneous behavior at all, even if we do like it) is a sign that your dog "thinks he is alpha" and needs to be "put in his place" by forcing the dog physically, using "corrections" and flooding the dog with stressful stimuli until it shuts down. The "miracle" result of the training regimen is a canine robot who obeys not "to please his master" (as so many seem to want to think) but out of a canine form of "learned helplessness." Of course, trainers who invoke scientific data about animal learning and who advocate using treats or other rewards that are more meaningful to most dogs that a simple pat on the head and who cajole us to avoid the use of aversives (aka positive punishment) in training are often dismissed as "impractical egg heads" or "hippie tree huggers" (when did it become so cool to hate trees and what do they have to do with dogs anyways)?
I've had discussion with many people about positive dog training over time and have convinced very few naysayers. No one likes to consider that the attractive trainer on their favorite TV show, their dog's breeder (who really knows "their" breed), or their uncle who has always had dogs may, in fact, be promoting some training methods that are, at best, unfair to the animal in question and at worse, downright dangerous. I also have this sinking feeling that we humans find the act of inflicting punishment on others to be emotionally gratifying and will do so with the slightest amount of "permission" from an authority figure who says it is for the greater good, even as they feel conflicted about it (anyone else remember learning about the Milgram study in school). So punishment is always a touchy topic and people tend to get very emotionally invested in their world view about punishment in general. At this point, when people start pontificating about how some behavior or another is a sign that a dog needs to learn not to be "alpha" or when they start rhapsodizing about such and such a show on TV and how wonderful that trainer is...I just say I am a big "fan" of Jean Donaldson, Ian Dunbar and Paul Owens as trainers. When they ask what that means, I suggest they start by reading The Culture Clash. This book is not a "how to" training manual that gives direct advice on how to solve various canine behavioral issues (I'd suggest books by Booth, Dunbar and Owens for those) but it does explain what we actually know about how animals (including dogs) learn, and provides some very accessible analogies about our behavior towards our "best friends."
This is a must read if you have recently rescued a dog -
I wish I had purchased this book first; before the four other books on dog training and behavior. Jean Donaldson explains her theories and techniques clearly and succinctly. It really helped me understand how to tackle our german shepherd's fears and anxiety, and gave me a good idea of why he had been in 2 shelters and 3 (maybe 4) homes before we adopted him at about 14 months old. Ms. Donaldson writes beautifully and has a delightful sense of humor and optimism. If you own a dog or are considering adopting one, read this book! It will make your relationship with your dog so much nicer.

A must read for every dog owner -
This is a must read for all dog owners. Jean Donaldson does a great job explaining in layman's terms how dogs learn, and why they behave the way they do. People need to stop humanizing dogs, their emotions, and intentions and realize that they are still animals. This book was informative and entertaining. I work in the veterinary field and will definitely recommend this book to anyone with dog behavior questions.
