Summary: Not helpful if you are look ing for serious solutions
Review: This book is a collection of Q & A's where Donaldson responds to people who ask her advice about their particular dog problems. Although some generalizations can be made from the problems included, it's hard to know how to generalize--i.e. whether and how a suggestion given to one owner makes sense in your own case. This means that this book is at best marginally useful for people who want and need detailed advice on how to reform their dog's behaviour. If you have a serious problem, don't look for reliable solutions in this book of anecdotes.

Summary: Highly Recommended by Trainers and Owners Alike
Review: This is a great follow-up book to Culture Clash from Jean Donaldson. At first it may seem like the question and answer format does not help you with your particular doggie problem, but if you keep reading you can see that Donaldson's answers can actually be applied to almost any situation. As the owner of a somewhat controlling 2 year old Jack Russell Terrier I can testify that these training methods really work. So-called "traditional" training methods may work on docile dogs, but just make things worse with my dog. Donaldson's techniques take a lot of time, but I get better results and surely feel a lot better about not beating up my dog.
