Review by Dr. Ian Dunbar, veterinarian, Ph.D., author and pioneer of reward-based dog training: "Quite simply the best dog book I have ever read! The Culture Clash is utterly unique, fascinating to the extreme and literally overflowing with information that's so new it virtually redefines the state of the art in dog training. It reads like a first-rate thriller."

This is the "Bible" on positive reinforcement training, or operant conditioning, and how it works - with people, and of course with animals. Fun to read too! Over 300,000 in print. Karen Pryor's clear and entertaining explanation of behavioral training methods made "Don't Shoot the Dog" a bestselling classic! Now this revised edition, published by Bantam, presents more of her insights into animal and human behavior.

More than 80 colour photographs illustrate the step-by-step instruction, so that the book can be used successfully by both beginners and experienced dog handlers. Over 20 lessons are featured starting with the basics SIT, STAY, HEEL and including all the exercises required for showing and advanced obedience trials.
