When I first got into dog training, the mantra was “dogs are pack animals.” It was never questioned: dogs were strong bonding animals and fit into human families so well, sometimes to the point of developing bona fide disorders like separation anxiety. And a lot of behavior was deconstructed with social hierarchies in mind. Nobody examined what dogs do when they are not inserted into human families, i.e. are free-ranging. So a while ago I took a look at what is known about feral or semi-feral populations of dogs around the world. It turns out there are many such populations.

It’s been pointed out to me and I’ve pointed it out to myself that the subtitle of The Culture Clash has the word “revolutionary” in it. The book actually makes a case for training using operant conditioning, a technology that’s been around for sixty years. |
