Boston Canine Cognition Lab

We are the Boston Canine Cognition Center! We play fun interactive games with dogs at Boston College to learn how they think

[ManyDogs @ManyDogsProject]

📢ManyDogs is officially open! We are recruiting #canine #scientists around the world to be a part of this exciting initiative and investigate how #dogs respond to human pointing gestures. Visit our website https://t.co/HR0ESfYrN5 or email us [email protected] for info🐶

The @BostonCollege #dog #lab was founded in 2019 by Dr. Angie Johnston. Dr. Johnston is interested in what dogs unqieu relationship with humans can tell us about the way that we evolved to learn.
