#Dogs can sniff out the scent of stress from human sweat and breath, say Clara Wilson of Queen's University Belfast 🎓 and colleagues. 🔎 PLOS One paper: plos.io/3BVUgPY 📰 Gizmodo article: plos.io/3rh6hKK 📰 The Independent article: plos.io/3UJifdA

Did you know ❓ A recent study by Clara Wilson et al. showed that dogs can recognise the difference between odours from people when they’re stressed and when they’re calm 👃 #FunFactFriday Study in PLOS One 👉journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Delighted to have passed my PhD viva yesterday and grateful for my examiners and chair for joining across three time zones. Huge thanks to my supervisors Catherine Reeve @gwshorter and Debbie Wells. Thank you to the wonderful dogs I met along the way - you were a joy.

1/6 Co-operative care does not scare – the impact of choice and control in dog’s stress levels during nail clipping #AnimBehav2023 This study compared the amount of stress signals displayed between two groups – dogs who had choice & control and dogs who didn’t. #cooperativecare

1/7 Early experiences that puppies share with their mothers can impact their lives for years! In a 4.5-yr study w/ Canine Companions® & University of Arizona, we explored mothering effects on behavior and life outcomes in dogs from 59 litters, testing 235 as puppies + 189 as adults. #AnimBehav2023

Urban and Groot’s puppies have arrived! 6 puppies total, 4 girls and 2 boys! Urban is healthy and doing well! Join us in welcoming our W-Litter! 💕🐾💕
