Books by Zazie Todd, PhD.
Zazie Todd’s books are for people who love their pets more than anything, who care deeply about making them happy, and who need practical, achievable solutions to make life with their pet even better than it already is.
But they’re also for the people who are really struggling, who didn’t know that owning a pet could be so hard, who need a shoulder to cry on and want to find out how to turn things around.
Wag, Purr, and Bark! are full of actionable tips, explain the science behind the suggestions, and keep you entertained with stories of Todd’s own dogs and cats.

What people are saying about Bark!
“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.
“An invaluable guide to the science behind taking a rescue dog on a journey away from fear. For me, it reinforced the message given us by the behaviourist who helped us with #sophiefromromania - it’s all about moving at the dog’s own pace.”
“Bark! cuts through the confusion and myths to provide clear-cut, well-researched assistance to those with ‘difficult’ dogs.… Bark! should be required reading for every veterinarian and anyone who loves an anxious, fearful, or reactive dog.”
—Karen Fine DVM, author of NYT-bestseller The Other Family Doctor
"Owners of anxious dogs will find this a salve."
—Publishers Weekly
