In Genealogy of Obedience Justyna Wlodarczyk provides a long
overdue look at the history of companion dog training methods in
North America since the mid-nineteenth century, when the market of
popular training handbooks emerged. Wlodarczyk argues that changes
in the functions and goals of dog training are entangled in bigger
cultural discourses; with a particular focus on how animal training
has served as a field for playing out anxieties related to race,
class and gender in North America. By applying a Foucauldian
genealogical perspective, the book shows how changes in training
methods correlate with shifts in dominant regimes of power. It
traces the rise and fall of obedience as a category for
conceptualizing relationships with dogs.
