Pavlov has name recognition yet we hardly know him. What kind of man was he? How did he work? How did he survive Russian revolution & Stalin’s purges? Was he trying to understand the brain, the mind, or maybe just improve dog training..?

So wonderful to see such valuable new research, linking caregiver perspectives with current recommended guidelines on handling and restraint during veterinary visits!

New pub from the TTU HAI Lab! 🐶🚨
