Hello! I would like to invite members of this forum to participate in a new on-line research program involving owners and their dogs. The Dog Talk Project (http://www.dogtalkproject.com) is a web-based system of surveys that studies a wide range of dog-related topics, including dog owners’ daily activities and routines (i.e. how we live with and love our dogs), dog health care practices, behavior, training, breed preferences and attitudes, the social effects of dogs, and nutrition and feeding practices. We currently are collecting data with six surveys and have a new health care survey that will be launched in May. Interesting results are posted on our “Results Pages” and are updated regularly.
Participation is free and is completely voluntary. Participating dog owners have a wide variety of dog interests and professions, and include dog sports enthusiasts, people who enjoy hiking and socializing with their dogs, professional trainers and behaviorists, veterinarians, veterinary technicians, breeders, shelter and rescue professionals, dog sitters/walkers, and of course, pet owners who simply love spending time with their canine companions!
Feel welcome to visit Dog Talk and share your dog-related experiences and knowledge!
