Applied dog ethology
This research line includes studies which share the aim of producing results applicable to the management of dogs in various contexts. Specifically, we have been working on the development and validation of behavioural assessment protocols for dogs involved in animal assisted activities (pet therapy) and on the efficacy of different learning processes and methodologies in the context of dog training and education.
