What can dogs teach us about life, behavior, and the humans who love them? Best Foot Forward by Malcolm Balish, narrated by Peter Coates and produced and published by Panda Publishing Agency UK, is a candid, humorous, and insightful journey into the world of dogs—and the people who believe they understand them.

This is far more than a traditional dog training book or dog care guide. Drawing on years of real-world experience, Malcolm Balish shares his journey from knowing little more than how to fill a dog's food bowl to running a successful dog daycare and becoming a qualified dog behaviourist. Along the way, he reveals the mistakes, challenges, discoveries, and hard-earned lessons that transformed his understanding of canine behavior and human behavior.

At the center of the story is Finn, joined by a memorable cast of canine characters whose loyalty, chaos, humor, and personalities bring these experiences to life. Through their stories, Balish explores the fascinating relationship between dogs and humans, offering observations that can be both thought-provoking and laugh-out-loud relatable.

Best Foot Forward explores a wide range of topics relevant to dog owners and dog lovers, including choosing a puppy, dog training, canine behavior, dog psychology, nutrition, health, responsible dog ownership, pet care, and coping with the loss of a beloved dog. Rather than presenting a rigid training manual, Malcolm Balish takes an honest look at the realities of living and working with dogs—including the difficult and uncomfortable subjects that many conventional dog books avoid.

Thought-provoking, honest, occasionally controversial, and filled with warmth and humor, Best Foot Forward challenges conventional ideas about dogs while celebrating the unique bond between people and their canine companions.
