A note: Many people are asking for the recordings of the panels at Bark! Fest and I’m delighted that there is so much interest. But very sadly, I just lost my wonderful father and I am heartbroken. I will get all of the recordings up as soon as I can, but in the meantime, thank you for your patience and understanding.

Here is the first of the recordings, which I know many people are waiting for…

Bark! Fest with Patricia McConnell PhD

Bark! Fest, the book festival for animal lovers, took place in September 2024 with 11 author panels (and one tricks class from the amazing Erica Beckwith of A Matter of Manners Dog Training). It was organized to celebrate the launch of my new book, Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog, which is out now and available from all good bookstores.

This session, with Patricia McConnell PhD talking about The Education of Will, was full. And it was absolutely wonderful. I am pleased to share the recording here for those of you who missed it, because I know you are going to love it.

You can watch the recording on Youtube or below.

 We talked about:

  • being gracious and welcoming with human clients
  • why Dr. McConnell chose to write about the human side of the leash
  • change for the better in the field of dog training
  • why Dr. McConnell wrote The Education of Will and the process of writing it
  • the main canine theme in the book

As well, Dr. McConnell answered questions from the audience.

The books from Bark! Fest are available from all good bookstores, including from Bookshop (which supports independent bookstores) and my Amazon store

Many thanks to everyone who came to Bark! Fest and made it such a wonderful event, and special thanks to Patricia McConnell PhD for this beautiful discussion.
