I am absolutely thrilled to share with you that my book Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog will be published in paperback on June 10th. (Or if you're in the UK, on June 12th).

Even more than my previous two books (Wag and Purr), people have told me how much Bark! has helped them with their pet.

I wrote it to make a difference to people whose dog is fearful or anxious, because I know how hard it can be. And I know how important it is to find solid advice on what you can do to help your dog. Because the dog is struggling, and very often their people are struggling too. 

You can pre-order the paperback of Bark! now from your favourite bookstore. Of course, if you don't want to wait or prefer the hardback version, it's available now while stocks last. 

Here are some useful links to pre-order the paperback:

If you are a shelter, rescue, veterinary clinic or dog trainer and would like to order copies in bulk, please get in touch. You can email me on companimalpsych at gmail dot com.

Here's what people are saying about Bark!:

"Bark! is the resource I wish I'd had before bringing my own sensitive and reactive dog home... A must-read for anyone who wants a better understanding of dogs, reactive or not."

—Alexis Devine, author of I Am Bunny

"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!"

—Teresa J. Rhyne, #1 NY Times bestselling author of The Dog Lived (and So Will I) and Poppy in the Wild

“A fun, enjoyable, and eminently practical read.”
—Dr. Marty Becker, America's Veterinarian and Founder of Fear Free

Together we can bring more understanding of what life is like for anxious, fearful, and reactive dogsand how we can make a difference to them.

For me personally, your support means more than you can possibly know.  And for fearful dogs, it's life-changing. Thank you!
