Past research lines

Previously we have studied the effect of ageing on physiological, emotional and behavioural aspects in dogs. In particular, age-related changes in cognitive processes and modifications in the relational-affective domain. In the past we have also investigated the behaviour of dogs and of their owners in urban public areas and how the citizens perceive the presence and role of dogs in these areas.
