Is your dog ready to become a canine scholar?
We are now recruiting canine participants for the Fall 2024 semester! Our studies explore social cognition with fun, games, and treats.
Our study sessions last 30-45 minutes. During your session, your dog will complete a series of puzzles and games which will simultaneously help us understand dogs’ minds and provide mental enrichment for your dog. You are also welcome to bring any human family members and friends who would like to observe the studies.
