Culture Clash and Beyond: The Bark! Fest recording
Plus listen out for me talking about anxious dogs on Radio New Zealand (in NZ and online) this weekend.
Today I'm thrilled to share another recording from Bark! Fest--and you might like to listen out for me on the radio.
Culture Clash and beyond with Jean Donaldson
Watch or listen to the recording of the panel at Bark! Fest, the book festival for animal lovers, with Jean Donaldson talking about The Culture Clash.
Bark! Fest, the book festival for animal lovers, took place in September 2024 with 11 author panels (and one tricks class from the amazing Erica Beckwith of A Matter of Manners Dog Training). It was organized to celebrate the launch of my new book, Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog, which is out now and available from all good bookstores.
This is the recording of the very first session, Culture Clash and Beyond with special guest Jean Donaldson.
You can watch the recording on Youtube or listen to the recording wherever you get your podcasts (Apple). Closed captions are available on Youtube. You can also do both of those things and read some of the highlights of the discussion on my blog.
We talked about:
why Jean wrote her seminal book The Culture Clash
what the Transparency Challenge is and why it's so important for dog trainers to answer these questions
her advice to someone who is struggling with their dog's behaviour
what is distinctive about the Academy for Dog Trainers
a writing tip
her favourite thing that's changed in the world of dog training over the years
and she answered lots of questions from the audience
Get the books
The Bark! Fest books are available from good bookstores, including from Bookshop (which supports independent bookstores), UK Bookshop, and my Amazon store.
Radio New Zealand Sunday Morning
Bark! is the top story on Radio New Zealand's Sunday Morning with Jim Mora this Sunday.
If you're down under, listen out for me on the radio--and if you're not, you can still listen via the RNZ website.
I'll be on at 11.20am Sunday morning New Zealand time.
That's Saturday at 2.20pm Pacific time, Saturday at 5.20pm Eastern time, and Saturday at 10.20pm UK time. So you can listen live wherever you are!
I'll share the link to the recording after the show.
Get your copy of Bark!
The Sunday Post says,
“This science-based, practical, hands-on but humane book shows exactly what to do if your pooch is anywhere on the scale between shy, anxious or terrified.”
If you didn't get your copy of Bark! yet, it's available from all good bookstores--including in New Zealand and Australia, where it's published by Scribe.
Bark! is widely available in stores, but if your local bookshop doesn't have it, you can ask them to order it in. It shouldn't take long.
If you prefer to order online, here are a few links, including some down under:
Bookshop (supports independent bookstores in the US)
My Amazon store (from which I may earn an affiliate income on qualifying purchases)
Berkelouw Books (many branches of the store)
Farrells Bookshop, Mornington, Victoria
and many more bookstores. Ask at your local store!
