A Dog’s Guide to Human Behaviour
Easing tension and pain in dogs is not Ruth’s only skill…
She’s also written a book that has achieved national acclaim. ‘They’re All Barking, A Dog’s Guide to Human Behaviour’ highlights how owners often affect the emotions and actions of their pets – without even knowing.
Drawing on her experience of working with dogs and their owners, she highlights some of the common pitfalls owners make when buying, rehoming and caring for their dogs.
Written under the pseudonym of Professor Daniel Springer-Spaniel, ‘They’re All Barking,’ gives you a dog’s perspective of living with humans and includes many genuine case studies.
It’s 14 chapters, each with its own illustration, touch on everything from how dogs sense our emotions, are affected by our stress and require clear boundaries. It also suggests great ways how to keep your hound happy and healthy in mind and body.
Even life-long dog owners have praised the book for raising awareness of simple but important issues that are often overlooked in our canine-human interactions.
