For all the love and attention we give dogs, much of what they do remains mysterious. Just think about different behaviors you see at a dog park. We have a good understanding of what it means when dogs wag their tails, but what about when they sniff and roll on a stinky spot? What goes on in dogs' heads and hearts-and how much can we know and understand? Canine Confidential has the answers. Written by Marc Bekoff, it not only brilliantly opens up the world of dog behavior, but also helps us understand how we can make our dogs' lives the best they can possibly be.

By unlocking the secrets of the hidden language of dogs, psychologist Stanley Coren allows us into the doggy dialogue, or "Doggish", and makes effective communication a reality.

This is an excellent course designed for everyone that lives or works with dogs that should have a good grounding in canine communication and behaviour. It is really important to know how to recognise whether a dog is scared, sad, over-excited, or anxious even if you are only living with one dog. More so if you look after other people's pets in any setting.

just wish there was one
- By Stacey Fieldhouse on 19-11-21
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.

Rigid, biased and intolerant as Carrie Mathison
What would have made The Culture Clash better?
Hugely biased, unscientific and a constant feeling that the author was writing just to herself. Does give the feeling that she does not respect anyone with a different opinion.
Feels a lot like if Carrie Mathison from Homeland was giving you a 9h lecture.
What will your next listen be?

The Narrator...
Unfortunately, I could not get through this audible book. I found the narrator to have a very monotone voice, which made listening and absorbing the material impossible. I really had high hopes for this book, however this is a case where the narrator can make or break a good book. I have decided to simply read the book, as I feel I will be able to better absorb the material.

An absolute game changer!
I read the actual book 10 years ago and my life hasn't been the same. What's even better is that my dogs lives have drastically improved as well!
While I don't love the narration and I understand that at times Jeans explanations may be too technical for the average dog owner to fully understand, don't let this deter you from absorbing everything else in this book, your dog will thank you!
The Culture Clash should be required reading for every dog owner; it is an important milestone in the evolution of dog training.

Cumbersome language, great perspective
the author head quirky turns of phrase and convoluted explanations that could have been much more simple and direct, particularly if when was going to use this as a training reference. I do however approve of her General adherence to positive discipline for dogs. she introduces some potential uses for aversive conditioning, what language was so murky I honestly didn't understand.

Best Dog behaviour dog book ever!
As a dog trainer I suggest this book to be read by all dog owners. Such clear and effective information is still extremely valuable, mainly in my country: Brazil. We do not need shoke collars or aversive training to teach our dogs, it’s all about the laws of learning.
