“The author’s evidence-based analysis simplifies the science and reduces essential elements into practical, replicable activities geared toward enriching a dog’s life.” (Library Journal, starred review)
“Zazie Todd does dogs the immeasurably good favor of taking their happiness seriously. Todd is dialed in to the science of dogs and a thoughtful trainer of dogs. Everything she writes about, you want to know. Wag is a welcome addition to the books geared to helping you help your dog.” (Alexandra Horowitz, author of Our Dogs, Ourselves: The Story of a Singular Bond and the New York Times best seller Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know)
“[Cutting-edge] science can be hard to get your head around. So thank you Zazie Todd for sorting through it all, making it relevant, and keeping it simple. This is a book your dog will want you to read.” (Dr. Mark Evans, former RSPCA vet and TV presenter)
