Our research with dogs explores questions of basic cognition. We spend a lot of time with our pups, wouldn't it be great if we understood them better?

Interested in learning more about your dog? Unfortunately our lab is closed now due to COVID-19 so we aren't doing any new research, but we do have an alternative for you! Our director, Dr. @EllenFurlong1 wrote an audiobook on dog cognition! Check it out! https://t.co/bIcW2q8oSY

Survey alert! We have a short survey for dog owners with children under 10. It should take ~15 minutes and you will answer questions about your children relating to demographics, dog ownership, and empathy. Feel free to share. Thanks! https://t.co/0K69WrT7dQ

Take my class on dog cognition! It’ll be fun! I promise :)
