The Culture Clash

The Culture Clash
The Culture Clash

Transforming canine aggression through positive reinforcement.

If you're struggling with an aggressive pooch, Jean Donaldson's "The Culture Clash" could be the guide you need. It's more than just a training manual; it's an insight into the canine mind. By using positive reinforcement, something as simple as treats can reshape your dog's behavior, leading to a happier, more harmonious relationship. This classic piece of literature in the dog-training realm is as relevant today as it was on publication day.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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)
