by Jean Donaldson

A revolutionary new way of understanding the relationship between humans and domestic dogs. Jean Donaldson offers an exciting new perspective on the age-old relationship between mankind and dogs. Donaldson's work with the rehabilitation of aggressive domestic dogs has brought her to the understanding that biting is natural, normal dog behavior.

Aggressive behavior within a community of dogs does not fracture relationships; it's all taken very much in stride, much as we humans accept the occasional exchange of heated words. Problems arise when dog rules and standards conflict with human values. This book will help you to understand the difference between our world and the canine world. How our actions can many times cause more problems than they solve.The Cluture Clash discusses the following topics:

• The dog's perspective (dog intelligence and morality)
• What the dog comes with (predatory and social behavior)
• Socialization, fear, and aggression (biters and fighters)
• It's all chew toys to them (behavior problems and solutions)
• Lemon brains but we still love them (how dogs learn)
• Nuts and bolts of obedience training (sequences for training and proofing)
