Customer Reviews

Not worth it2
I had high expectation from this book, but was totally dissapointed. Firstly, it was very badly written. Secondly, after I have read on one of the first pages a shocking information that "dogs don't learn by observing" which is completely false, I was ready to throw the book away and never look at it again. Eventually I forced myself to finish it, but did not find anything I did not know before, plus my confidence in the author was long time gone, anyways.
If you really want to understand your dogs, you will be better off with books by Patricia McConnell.

the best dog behaviour book I have read5
Culture clash is without doubt the best dog behaviour book I have read and I have read A LOT!
It is well worth buying.

A seminal 'must read' for all dog owners5
This is one of those 'change your life' books for dog owners - often the first they come to that clearly and concisely sets out the species differences in language that makes sense and should stop forever the inane (but common) assumptions that a) dogs are furry children, b) they speak English from birth, c) they can read their owner's mind and d) if they don't immediately do what the owner wants, they're being deliberately difficult.
It's well written, thoughtful, intelligent, funny and immensely compassionate with a clear care for dogs at its core. Definitely read it.
