I’m incredibly excited to share this research regarding dogs’ social evaluation tendency. In our study, agility-trained dogs, but not untrained dogs, demonstrated a preference for a prosocial experimenter over an antisocial experimenter. (1/2) rdcu.be/b56oS

I had the honor of making an appearance on the Good Dog Pod this week. We discussed dog training, cognition, and how to set a good example for the dogs in your home! Here's a link to the podcast for anyone who is interested: gooddog.com/good-breeder-c…

I’m thrilled to share that last I successfully defended my dissertation, The Evolutionary Origins of Social Evaluation! Thank you to all the dogs, students, professors, friends, and family who made this research possible :)

ManyDogs is soliciting proposals! Do you have a research idea that will benefit from a large, many-lab sample and move the field of canine science forward? Are you willing to lead our next big project? Go to this link and tell us about it by July 15, 2023: bit.ly/416TXN6

Does your dog truly love you? I spoke with a murderer's row of canine researchers to find out the answer to that question and other mysteries. @gberns EvanMacLean Zachary Silver Clara Wilson Hecht Lab Penn Vet Working Dog Center Fred Guterl newsweek.com/2023/06/02/doe…
