Jean Donaldson is one of the top dog trainers in the United States, and her training academy in San Francisco has gained a reputation as the Harvard for dog trainers and behavior counselors. She is the author of the classic dog training book The Culture Clash, which has sold more than 42,000 copies (and likelymany more, since it was published in 1996 and Bookscan data dates back only to 2001). Apart from narratives, the pets bestseller list is driven by books from trusted sources and proven methods, and Jean will be very competitive in this realm. She brings 30 years of training experience, a known name in the industry, and history of publishing success. With consumers increasingly turning to video for how-to advice, a book + DVD package is an ideal product for todaysdog owners. In addition to Jeans stellar background, this multimedia project is particularly appealing because the professionally produced DVD provides twoand a half hours of instructiona full 90 minutes longer than the one competing title on the market. That competitor, titled My Smart Puppy, is also aimed at puppies, so this book will have a broader reach and appeal to a wider audience. Icons in the text will direct readers to the DVD at the appropriate times,so the two elements will work in tandem.Jean Donaldson (San Francisco, CA) is the author of the classic dog training book The Culture Clash, which has been the Association of Pet Dog Trainers number-one recommended book for dog trainers each year the organization has published a recommended reading list.
