THEY'RE ALL BARKING: A Dog’s Guide to Human Behaviour

Shortlisted for the Selfie Awards 2025, non-fiction

PROFESSOR DANIEL DIGS DEEP INTO HOW HUMAN BEHAVIOUR IS AFFECTING THE NATION’S DOGS

Does your dog jump all over you? Do you dread leaving it alone? Does it have a wardrobe of outfits? Does it console you when life turns sour?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, then ‘They’re All Barking’ is the book for you.

In his entertaining and emotive new book, Professor Daniel Springer-Spaniel, pulls no punches in telling us how life really is - from a dog’s perspective. Find out which type of human you are and how your behaviour, emotions and lifestyle could be affecting your best-friend.

Professor Daniel is a Fellow of the European Trust for Canine Health (FETCH), and in consultation with his colleague Dr Peter Pointer, PhD, Philosopher of Dogs, reveals what happens when your dog has no boundaries, little training, is humanised and unsocialised.

His book demonstrates how a human’s stress, grief, depression, anxiety and frantic living, can affect their beloved pet and features genuine case studies.

Described as ‘faction’, ‘They’re All Barking’ is based on fact, with fictional material added for literary effect. Former journalist turned canine massage therapist Ruth McDonagh, has acted as Professor Daniel’s editor and personal assistant, typing up his wise words.
