Welcome to Season Three of The Bitey End of the Dog! For this season, I will be continuing to have great discussions on helping dogs with aggression with the world’s foremost experts, and will be introducing a new exciting format to the show, Fresh Bites which will be shorter episodes on a variety of topics focused on understanding dog behavior from a diverse group of dog trainers and behavior pros from around the world. 

I’m kicking off this season with none other than Jean Donaldson, who has had a profound influence in so many positive ways in my journey, as well as many others in the dog training world. We chat about her seminal book, The Culture Clash, as well as Mine and Fight, two other well known books, and must haves if you are working aggression cases, and go down many other deep rabbit holes in dog behavior.

About Jean Donaldson:

The Academy for Dog Trainers was founded in 1999 by Jean Donaldson.

She ran it for ten years as a residential program at The San Francisco SPCA before spending a year and a half re-inventing the curriculum in its current form as a two-year e-learning course. The new format broadens the scope and content of the original program, includes the latest research on behavior and training, and allows students a much longer enrollment time so that they may study, “marinate” and integrate concepts and skills, train and fit their course work around their life commitments.

Jean is one of the top dog trainers in the world and has lectured extensively in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. She is a four-time winner of The Dog Writers’ Association of America’s Maxwell Award, and her seminal book The Culture Clash was named number one training and behavior book by The Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Her other titles are Mine! A Guide to Resource Guarding in Dogs, Fight! A Guide to Dog-Dog Aggression, Dogs Are From Neptune, and Oh Behave! Dogs From Pavlov to Premack to Pinker.

Her most recent book, Train Like a Pro, was her first written training guide for a lay audience. In 2017, Jean authored and instructed Dog Training 101 for The Great Courses.

Before transitioning full-time to pet dog training, Jean competed in dog sports with dogs of various breeds, earning numerous titles and wins including OTCh, HIT, TDX, and FDCh, as well as a CGC. She ran a successful training school for fifteen years, and spent six years doing primarily referral aggression cases. She holds a degree in comparative psychology and is a keen student of evolutionary biology.
