I bought this because I was beginning to despair of ever making any headway with the training of my young rescued Doberman. All my other books did not address the problems I was meeting. I cannot rate this book highly enough! It has changed completely my outlook and thinking and is simple the best book I have read on the training and treatment of dogs. My dogs are now responding to training in a way I never thought possible. The Doberman instead of becoming a real social problem is now almost a reformed character!! I wish I had read this book years ago! It is THE book I will recommend to all my friends. Although perhaps not everyones style, I loved it and couldn't put it down! Its a book I will keep beside me anytime a new dog comes into my home!
Dec 2006 Almost a year after I wrote this I can still positively identify with the effect this book has had on my training and treatment of my dogs, They continue to improve and develop. The Doberman is now very definitely 'mans best friend' and people comment on 'what a wonderful dog she is' All thanks to The Culture Clash. I have since bought other Jean Donaldson books and have not been disappointed

I just finished reading this book and have to say I loved it. Being a trainer and owner of three dogs it is very rewarding to read a book with so much factual content. As we embark on a mission to change the way dogs have been traditional treated and trained it is important to have references to back up your theory. This book does it and Jean Donaldson is a wealth of knowledge. Two thumbs up for this one. A must read for dog lovers everywhere.

I have read many dog training books in the past 6 months, but this is the only one that really rang true for me. Jean Donaldson articulates what many dog owners have felt for some time: that yanking, yelling and regimentation do NOT constitute positive training methods. She rightly calls slip-collars and choke chains "strangulation collars," and makes it clear that the "leash correction" is simply a punishment -- and not a very effective one at that. Her whole training ethos is based on the premise that dogs are dogs, not people. That may sound pretty obvious, but it doesn't seem to be, at least not to traditional dog trainers. If you have a dog that likes to be a dog (interacts with both humans and dogs in the same manner, and doesn't like to be restrained in any way) Donaldson's training methods will save your sanity -- and perhaps your dog's life. This book is more than a manual, however, as it fully explains the theory before detailing the methods. Along the way, it provides a good read and some great laughs. This is also the first book I've read that describes some fun and effective training games to play with your dog, rather than just saying "play with your dog." It's not all fun and games though: I dare you to read the section called "Empathy 101" and remain unmoved toward the plight of the average family dog. My only (minor) complaint about "Culture Clash" is that it needs either a more detailed Table of Contents, an Index, or both. That said, however, I urge you to buy this book, and leave the traditional methods of dog training back in WWII, where they began, and where they belong!
