We specialize in helping fearful dogs be they inclined to hide away like #sophiefromromania or behave aggressively to get the scary thing to go away. It's always important to remember that there are two clients, the dog and the people. This is the start of Chapter 10 of my book.

Bark! spotted in the wild again, this time by me! At Indigo at Bay & Bloor in Toronto last week. Once again, in good company with More Than Just a Dog by @sociabledog.bsky.social

The bookshelves at Indigo bookstore at Bay and Bloor in Toronto last week. Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog by Zazie Todd has a bright blue cover and a slightly worried Chihuahua. Also shown is More Than Just a Dog by Si Wooler which is a paler blue with a slightly worried looking black Lab.

Horrah 👏👏👏👏

Don’t worry about growling, Rory. It’s fine. Growling is part of many, many dogs playing style. If you think her playmate is upset by it do a consent test: take her off the play. If the other dog comes back for more, all is good. If they don’t then pick a more robust playmate for her. Simples 😁

My friend, colleague, academic and author extraordinaire, @zazietodd.bsky.social just made me aware that More Than Just A Dog is on the table at The London Pet Show this weekend. Get.Out.Of Town 🤣 Seriously honoured to be in such great company as Zazie et al ☺️

I'm so happy to see these photos of Bark! and Wag at the London Pet Show this weekend. Look closely and you'll also spot Purr. Photos via Dr. Sarah Brown whose book, The Hidden Language of Cats, pictured, is a fantastic read. And so is More Than Just a Dog (at the back) by @sociabledog.bsky.social

A couple of copies of my book Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog pictured on a table of books about pets at the London Pet Show on 20th September 2025. At the back, you can just make out some copies of Purr: The Science of Making Your Cat Happy.

Some copies of my book Wag: The Science of Making Your Dog Happy on a table of books about pets at the London Book Show on 20th September 2025. You can also see two piles of The Hidden Language of Cats by Dr. Sarah Brown, who took these photos. Her book is a fantastic read. And right at the back you can spot another great read in More Than Just a Dog by Si Wooler.

No way! That is too cool. Being on the table is cool but being in that kind of company is too exciting for words 😃

It’s fabulous to see Sophie so happy and enjoying the world. Joy is the right word for it. ❤️

Interesting question Steve. It depends on the context. In this case I would go fir either carry on as @rorycj.bsky.social does or turn and go and turn back. #sophiefromromania isn’t upset here and, in fairness doesn’t seem frustrated either. Turn-go-turn back - repeat would get you better approach.

Opportunities like these are so important for Sophie. I’m really grateful to Gonçalo for making it available and for clearly managing the whole experience so well for Sophie and the whole crew. The wind certainly freaks her out, bless her heart ❤️
