Cassell signs 'revolutionary' book on improving your dog's behaviour from Leon Towers
Octopus imprint Cassell has signed Fix Your Dog in Three Easy Steps: Be Your Own Dog Behaviourist from Leon Towers.
Publisher Trevor Davies acquired world all-language rights from Kirsty Milner at Stella Media for publication on 4th July 2024.
Drawing on his experience and science-backed strategies, Towers’ "revolutionary" methods offer a "fun and simple way" to tackle dogs’ behavioural problems. Fix Your Dog in Three Easy Steps also "debunks commonly held theories such as breed-specific behaviour and ’alpha dog status’".
Towers is a qualified dog behaviourist and nutritionist who has reported on Crufts and hosts "Embarrassing Pet"’ on Channel 4.
Towers said: "I have written this book to empower dog owners into understanding why their dog has the issues they are facing and how to fix them. The dog world has a way of making owners feel responsible for the issues that they are facing, and this in itself can make the owner feel isolated. Dog owners can’t just be branded as ‘bad owners’ who ‘should know better’. This book isn’t about blame, it’s about highlighting the issues and fixing them from the root without the use of avoidance techniques."
Davies added: "Leon’s methods are proven and his results are extraordinary. As a dog owner myself, I know how expensive dog behaviourists can be, and you’re never guaranteed a fix. However, Leon is a superstar of the training world and this book is a godsend for all those experiencing challenging behaviour from their pet. The advice is clear, the text is packed full of Leon’s personality and the book is full of troubleshooting advice for problems that every owner will recognise. Fix Your Dog in Three Easy Steps is a lifeline for every owner."
