The Culture Clash: A revolutionary new way of understanding the relationship between humans and domestic dogs is special! It is utterly unique, fascinating to the extreme, and literally overflowing with information that is so new it virtually redefines state of the art in dog behavior and training. Generations of dogs have been labeled training-lemons for requiring actual motivation when all along they were perfectly normal. Others have been branded as misfits for barking, chewing, sniffing, jumping up and having arguments. All dogs need to be taught how to modify their normal and natural behaviors to adjust to human culture. 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.
