Zazie Todd is at the forefront of the move towards positive animal welfare and kind, humane dog training methods. Her third book, Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog is a compassionate and practical guide to overcoming your dog’s fears. In this panel from Bark! Fest, you’ll learn how to help your dog feel safe, how your presence can help your dog, and get a new understanding of the training techniques that can make a difference, as she shares tips from Bark!.

We talked about:

How Bark! Fest came about
How to counsel people that slow is the new fast when it comes to fearful dogs
Decisions about how much of the "why" and "how" to include in the book
Why tricks training is included in a book for fearful and anxious dogs
How to keep dogs and people safe
Whether pandemic puppies really do have more behaviour issues, and how we can use management to help a fearful dog
The gorgeous cover of Bark! and how much input authors get into book covers and titles with a traditional publisher
Plus Zazie did a reading from the book

Bark! is out now in paperback. It is available wherever books are sold.
