Ebury Spotlight scoops dog behaviour book by 'The Dogfather' Hall

Ebury Spotlight has scooped Does My Dog Love Me? by Graeme Hall, who is also known as "The Dogfather".

Editor Michelle Warner acquired world all-language rights from Josh Phillips at M&C Saatchi and publication is scheduled for 1st February 2024.

Hall is a dog trainer who started his own dog training business in 2008. He is the presenter of the Channel 5 show "Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly", which has run for five seasons so far, and is currently starring in a new Channel 5 show, "Dog Hospital with Graeme Hall". He is also the author of All Dogs Great and Small (Ebury Press). 

The synopsis for Hall’s new book says: "In his latest book, he reveals the secrets to understanding what your furry companion is trying to say and how they see the world. Drawing on 15 years of experience training over 5,000 dogs, and backed up with scientific evidence, he tackles all the tricky questions you’ve ever wanted to ask, such as ‘how do I tell my dog he’s been naughty?’, ‘is my dog happy?’ and ‘how long does a dog remember?’

"Sharing his own personal stories and practical tips, Graeme demonstrates how to interpret your dog’s body language and use that knowledge to build a stronger, more rewarding relationship, as well as how to avoid common mistakes. Whether you’re a seasoned dog owner or a new pup parent, this book will change the way you think about your four-legged best friend."

Hall said: "I am really excited to be working with Ebury on my latest book. Experience has taught me the top questions dog owners really wish they could ask their dogs and the truth is that there often isn’t an easy yes/no answer – it takes a book to answer them. I can’t wait to share more stories of the dogs I’ve worked with, as well as the amazing new research I’ve discovered along the way. I hope this book helps people with their doggy dilemmas, as well as making their bond even stronger."

Warner added: "We are delighted to be working with Graeme again and to be sharing even more of his insight and advice with dog owners everywhere. Most of us wish we could get inside our dog’s minds and Graeme’s new book is full of invaluable knowledge to help us know them better. He truly understands dogs and why they behave the way they do, as well as sometimes why owners behave the way they do!

"He breaks things down in a simple to understand way and his advice will no doubt help bring you and your favourite pooch even closer."
