Spend the day as a dog researcher learning to think like a scientist. We will be viewing video footage of an ethogram of the dog, learning behaviors associated with sociability and red flag behaviors associated with risks. We will review a current shelter dog assessment procedure used to determine sociability and use it as a catalyst to help participants create an experimental scoring system, and then conduct (and videotape) the experiment, score, and review.
*Attendees, please bring a notebook and pen.
