A Journey into the Soul of Your Dog’s Emotions
Read a Sample
Dog owners and professionals alike tend to address only the barking, aggression, or fearful avoidance. But these behaviors are only the symptoms, not the root cause.
Every action stems from a rich and often overlooked emotional reality, influenced by genetics, learned experiences, and environmental cues. Effective intervention requires us to explore and address this deeper emotional state.
Dogs experience joy, fear, frustration, anxiety, excitement, sadness, and more - emotions they feel with an honesty we often miss. Their body language, expressions, and vocalisations are constantly communicating their inner state.
• A wagging tail isn't always happiness.
• A yawn isn't always tiredness.
• Their barks have different meanings.
• "Ignoring" your cues may mean they're overwhelmed.
Emotion always comes before behaviour. High emotions impair clear thinking, making learning and impulse control near impossible. Addressing the emotional root and not just suppressing the behaviour we see, creates lasting change.
This beautiful, easy-to-read book explores canine emotions in depth: how they develop, influence behaviour (from reactivity and guarding to over-excitement), and connect to everyday challenges like anxiety, separation distress, or fear.
It goes beyond problems, offering guidance on building calm, resilience, trust, and stronger bonds through understanding, supported by the latest scientific research and my real-world methods with clients.
When we see dogs emotionally, we respond with patience and empathy. Behaviour becomes calm, not a battle. Dogs feel supported, grow confidence, and cope better.
An invitation to deeper understanding, empathy, and connection - for anyone seeking a calmer, happier dog and an unbreakable bond, no matter the challenges.
Finally understand your dog. Restore harmony, resolve issues, and deepen your bond - the book every owner wishes they'd found sooner!

What a wonderful book, full of advice and information about dog behaviour. We run a rescue centre here and although we have years of experience of difficult dogs, I now have some really good information to refer to. Dogs are very complex animals, full of emotion, that deserve the people around them to read the signs correctly and do the right thing for them, this book helps so much to guide you in the right direction.
