Publisher's Summary

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.

In Love with This

I see people complaining about the voice of the narrator and, although I haven't got an issue with her, it would seem an interesting concept to have more than one narrator to choose from. There have been books I can't get through for the same reason. However, this book is truly worth the read, or the listen and will make so many things so much clearer to you. Some of the terminologies are quite scientific and might need a trained listener (which I am fortunate to be) but had I attempted this book before my formal training, I'm not sure I would have grasped it at times. This is definitely a must read for anyone in the field of dog training (especially those adversive/balanced trainers out there) because the information might just pull you out of the dark and into the light.
