New from the popular author of Culture Clash! We understand why dogs chase cats, but why would a domesticated dog stalk or kill a small dog or a child? And why tear the stuffing out of a squeaky toy? In short, what is predatory drift and why does it occur? Looking at the transition from wild canid to family pet, Jean examines the function and dysfunction of genetically based behavior in the life of today's domestic dog. Jean discusses fixed action patterns, or behaviors which are hard wired, and the effect called "misbehavior of organisms" - when behaviors or fixed action patterns fire at inappropriate times. She explores how these phenomenon can interfere with even expert training attempts to address aggression using operant and classical conditioning. From her conclusions come a fresh view of the nature versus nurture debate and solid advice for today's dog trainer working with aggression. (This DVD was produced from a dogTEC seminar held in 2004.)
