Culture Clash: A Revolutionary New Way of Understanding the Relationship Between Humans and Domestic Dogs

Altro che Lilly e il Vagabondo, dolci, geniali e con una morale di ferro: i cani sono intelligenti, certo, ma non sono umani, non pensano come noi. Non ci obbediscono solo per compiacerci, non passano per primi dalla porta per dominarci, e non rosicchiano i mobili per dispetto: semplicemente, seguono altre regole. Vivono in una cultura, la nostra, che spesso non capiscono. Inutile tentare di addestrarli punendo “gli errori” o “i capricci”. Se “sbagliano”, è perché sono guidati dall’istinto o disorientati, non perché vogliano farcela pagare. La ricetta migliore per farsi ascoltare? Poche elementari nozioni per gestire alla perfezione e in tutta serenità i comportamenti innati e insegnare senza sforzo i comandi principali. Il risultato? Cani più felici e liberi di essere se stessi, nel rispetto delle regole di casa. Sapreste immaginare un rapporto migliore?

But people are on another planet! Dogdom's most influential dog trainer and behaviorist, Jean Donaldson, is back with a newly revised and expanded edition of her popular Dogs are from Neptune. In 41 essays, Jean highlights the common and frequently wrong-headed notions people have about why dogs behave the way they do, and explains what really motivates your pooch and how to change behavior. Jean's innovative ideas are delivered via quirky and witty-but always scientifically based-essays will help create "Aha!" moments for every dog lover on earth. If you loved Jean's best selling The Culture Clash, you will enjoy learning more about the dogs who inhabit planet Neptune and the people who don't! Your dog is from Neptune-narrow the gap by learning more about: The truth-and power-of consequences and how you can use them to train your dog. The best ways to deal with common problem behaviors including guarding, separation anxiety and fear. Why you should be skeptical of anyone whose training techniques and philosophies sound appealing but cannot be backed up with scientific evidence. Dispel common myths associated with using food in training, dominance and whether playing tug with your dog really encourages aggression. While we may be on different planets, learn how the fundamentals of behavior apply equally to dogs and people. Why it seems that owners become more attentive trainers when they dress their dogs in costumes!

Dogs are from Neptune

Snad žádná kniha neovlivnila moderní představy o soužití lidí a psů tolik jako Střet kultur Jean Donaldsonové. Tato jedinečná publikace nabízí čtenářům nejen čtivě napsaná zamyšlení nad psí povahou a jejich vztahem k okolnímu světu, ale také spoustu užitečných rad, jak psy cvičit a jak jim lépe porozumět. Přijde-li řeč na soužití lidí a psů, spousta lidí zapomíná, že lidé nejsou psi a psi nejsou lidé. Uvažují a vnímají svět jinak než my. Jsou to bystrá a ne zrovna jednoduchá stvoření, takže pokud to s nimi myslíme vážně, neměli bychom jejich poznávání brát na lehkou váhu.

Lidé a psi – Střet kultur

Jean Donaldson brings her considerable wisdom -- and wit -- to a wide variety of topics of interest to dog trainers and enthusiasts in this book from Dogwise Publishing. In 55 essays, Jean tackles issues ranging from the nature vs nurture debate, to the role of dominance in domestic dogs, to what are the most effective ways to train dogs. You will note a number of themes that flow throughout the book. Jean is a firm believer in conducting scientific research (verifiable results) rather than forming opinions based on gut feel or taking an anthropomorphic view of dog behavior. She also admits that we are flying blind on many issues because of a lack of research and tells the reader when that is the case. She looks at problem behaviors (problems for humans at least) from the perspective that both a dog's genes and environment impact behavior, and our ability to modify such behaviors is sometimes muddled since we don't always understand how genetics and environment interact. And finally, just what is a Dog Mom (or Dad) and how did that phenomenon develop and what is its genetic usefulness, if any, to both dogs and people?! Along with her other best selling books, Oh Behave! is destined to be a classic in the literature on dog behavior.

The book that has shaped modern dog training and ownership with its unique and scientifically sound recognition of the "cultural" differences between dogs and humans. Dogs can't read so you need to in order to really understand your dog.
