Excellent resource book that should be a part of every dog owner's reference library. Handles all phases of dog training from aggression to submissive urination. Question and answer format works well. Arlene Millman, author of BOOMERANG - A MIRACLE TRILOGY (The tale of a remarkable Boston Terrier).
Jean Donaldson understands dogs! December 1, 2001

I love Dogs are from Neptune and Culture Clash, both by Jean Donaldson. This expert trainer is also a thoughtful and engaging writer. By really moving into and explaining the mind of the dog, Donaldson goes beyond a training how-to. Instead, she gives me, as the trainer of my own dogs, the tools I need to figure out how to solve my own training problems. It has caused me to think about my dogs and how I train in a whole new way. If I wasn't training my dogs, I'd still read these books because they make me laugh (a lot)!
A must have for any trainer May 27, 2001

I love the real life questions that are answered in such wonderful detail. The amount of information that is in this book makes it a must have for any dog trainer or person with a dog.
 Not helpful if you are look ing for serious solutions February 25, 2001

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.
DOGS ARE FROM NEPTUNE May 30, 2000

The best thing you can do for your dog is to read this book: and read Culture Clash: also by Jean Donaldson. I know dogs, and I know training; and I love dogs, and I love training. Yet I've never come across a more fantatsic; dog-knoweledgeble trainer! And talk about laymen's terms! These ARE the dog books for ALL levels of dog lovers!
