Bark!
Bark!
Description
Is your dog showing signs of fear, anxiety, or reactivity, such as biting, food guarding, shyness, or aggressive barking? You're not alone. Close to 75% of dogs struggle with fear-based behaviours, and require our support and understanding to feel safe and secure.
In Bark!, Zazie Todd provides solutions for these behaviours. Decoding the latest canine science, she shows readers how to address the root cause of your dog's fears, with expert advice and practical tips on-
- How to tackle common canine fears, such as loud noises, the vet, separation anxiety, and other dogs.
- How to manage a dog's natural fear responses through positive reinforcement.
- How to keep your dog, yourself, and others safe when they are fearful or reactive.
- How to create safe havens for your dog, and make yourself a secure base for them no matter where they are.
Compassionate, practical, and rooted in science, Bark! helps dog owners understand the many factors that might be causing fear within your dog, and how you can help them lead a safe and happy life.
'This insightful book gave me - a lifelong dog guardian with a passion for all things dog - much to think about. I'll be referring to it often!'

'Zazie Todd explores how to help skittish canines cope with their anxieties in this solid manual ... Owners of anxious dogs will find this a salve.'

'Few do a better job than Zazie of understanding what we really, truly know about dogs, and what science tells us what works to help them.'
