Today is the day that my new book, Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog is published. I am so excited to share this book with you! There are so many fearful and anxious dogs in the world, and so many people who struggle with what to do to help them. I wrote this book to make a difference. I am so honoured that it includes a beautiful, beautiful foreword by Cat Warren, whose writing I just adore. And I am also honoured to include quotes and stories from many amazing colleagues that will help you to understand what it's like for fearful dogs and why we need to work so hard to help them feel safe. Thank you so much to everyone who spoke to me for the book, and to everyone who has supported me while I wrote it. If you don't yet have a copy, it's available from all good bookstores, including Amazon. And if you're local to me, don't forget to come along to Black Bond Books in the Valley Fair Mall in Maple Ridge on Saturday from 12 until 2 to say hello and get your signed copy!

There are 2 opportunities to hear me speak at Bark! Fest, the book festival for animal lovers. The events are online and a recording will be available to those who register. I'm delighted and honoured to be on a panel with these two amazing writers, Marc Bekoff PhD and Cat Warren. Details of how to register are in the link below.

Discover the role of emotions and perception in dogs’ lives. In Dogs Demystified: An A-to-Z Guide to All Things Canine and the second edition of The Emotional Lives of Animals, Marc Bekoff updates our understanding of the emotions animals feel (and how we know they feel them). For people whose dogs feel shy or worried, Zazie Todd’s Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog is a compassionate and practical guide based on the latest science. And the beautifully-crafted New York Times bestseller What the Dog Knows: Scent, Science, and the Amazing Ways Dogs Perceive the World by Cat Warren explores the extraordinary abilities of scent detection dogs and tells the captivating story of how Warren’s dog Solo became a human remains detection dog.

I'm excited to share that I have two upcoming webinars, one on how to have a happy dog, and one on how to have a happy cat. They are free and a recording will be available. As well, because the paperback of Purr will come out on June 6th, I'll give a copy to one of the attendees at the live webinar on how to have a happy cat. Please feel free to share these webinars with friends, family, and clients who might be interested.
