Wouldn't you love to know what your dog was thinking? The truth is that your dog is communicating with you all the time but, unless you know the signs, you aren't picking up on what your dog wants you to know.
Louise Glazebrook is a dog behaviourist, trainer and television presenter who specialises in teaching people how to understand and connect with their dogs. In The Book Your Dog Wishes You Would Read, Louise tackles everything from bringing the right dog home, understanding body language and breed behaviour, responding to common behavioural issues, to the toys and games that you and your dog will both love.
Most dog trainers focus on the dog, but Louise focuses on you, the owner, giving you the skills and confidence to interpret your dog's needs and behaviour and build a better, happier relationship for life.
Your pet runs your life. You just haven’t admitted it yet.
From booking a seat on Bark Air to planning a pet-friendly holiday, A
Pawfect Life is packed with practical advice for modern pet parents –
along with a hilarious deep dive into just how far we’ve gone to pamper
our furry overlords.
Dion Chang unpacks the latest trends, from CBD treats for anxious
dachshunds to birthday pawties as well as pawternity leave for new pet
owners, while also tackling the trickier side of pet parenting.
Speaking to animal behaviour expert Leigh Shenker, Chang explores why
we spend small fortunes on our pets – and whether treating them like
tiny humans is actually a good idea. As a trained pet doula, he also
delves into the complexities of pet loss, grief and saying goodbye.
Equal parts insightful and absurd, this book will make you laugh,
rethink your pet’s power over you, and finally figure out how to
navigate an airport pet relief zone like a pro.
In this poignant, funny, and disarmingly honest memoir, one of the world’s most beloved storytellers, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book Thief, tells of his family’s adoption of three troublesome rescue dogs—a charming and courageous love story about making even the most incorrigible of animals family.
There’s a madman dog beside me, and the hounds of memory ahead of us . . . It’s love and beasts and wild mistakes, and regret, but never to change things.
What happens when the Zusak family opens their home to three big, wild, street-hardened dogs—Reuben, more wolf than hound; Archer, blond, beautiful, destructive; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm?
The answer can only be chaos: There are street fights, park fights, public shamings, property damages, injuries, hospital visits, wellness checks, pure comedy, shocking tragedy, and carnage that must be read to be believed.
There is a reckoning of shortcomings and failure, a strengthening of will, but most important of all, an explosion of love—and the joy and recognition of family.
Three Wild Dogs (and the Truth) is a tender, motley, and exquisitely written memoir about the human need for both connection and disorder, a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty—but also the visceral truth of the natural world—straight to our doors and into our lives and change us forever.

the microchip!
From the beloved author of The Enchanted April, this is Elizabeth von Arnim's brilliantly written account of the fourteen pet dogs she owned and loved throughout the years. All the Dogs of My Life has an introduction by Nina Stibbe, bestselling writer and author of Went to London, Took the Dog.
From a beloved dachshund to a trouble-seeking Great Dane, via all manner of dogs large and small, obedient and defiant, von Arnim brilliantly captures the bond between dogs and their owners. This witty and often poignant book is the closest the author came to writing a memoir.
Despite her frequent exhortations that it wasn’t an autobiography, much is revealed about her fascinating life: her marriages, life in Germany, England and Switzerland, her children and her lovers.
