TRANSFORM your knowledge
about DOGS with SCIENCE.
# DOGSANDSCIENCE
We make canine science ACCESSIBLE and UNDERSTANDABLE for everyone.
We love dogs. And we love science.
At Dogs and Science, we bring the two together—with one clear goal: to help people better understand and care for dogs, using the best knowledge available.
Science gives us powerful insights into who dogs are—what they feel, need, experience, and how we can support their wellbeing in a way that’s kind, effective, and evidence-based. But too often, much of this knowledge stays hidden in academic papers, hard to find and even harder to apply in everyday life.
We are a team of canine scientists on a mission to change that. We believe that good science becomes transformative when it is shared, understood, and put into practice—when perspectives come together and evidence meets experience.
That’s why we work across three core pillars:
We translate complex research into clear, trustworthy, and practical knowledge
We provide education, courses, and individual consultations
We conduct and support research that advances canine science
Whether you are a trainer, vet, behaviourist or a passionate dog guardian, aiming to deepen your expertise or discover something new, we hope our platform supports your journey—with curiosity, clarity, and care.
Join us at Dogs and Science—and transform your understanding of dogs through the power of science.

Canine Science explained
What is Canine Science?
Canine Science is the study of dogs and their wild relatives, such as wolves. This interdisciplinary field combines animal behaviour, cognition, genetics, veterinary medicine, and more. It explores all aspects of canine life, including
how dogs develop, think, and behave, aiming to deepen our empirical knowledge of dogs. Insights gained not only enhance our understanding but also informs practical approaches to health, welfare, and the human-dog bond.
Why Canine Science Matters to you?
Canine Science is more than just an academic field; it has profound implications for every dog professional and owner. It confronts widespread misinformation about dogs with robust, evidence-backed insights. This knowledge empowers you to enhance care, refine training techniques, and improve the overall quality of life for dogs. By grasping the scientific principles behind dog behaviour, you’re better equipped to effectively manage behavioural issues and create environments that promote health and happiness. Embrace canine science to bring a scientifically informed perspective to your interactions with dogs, ensuring they lead the best lives possible.
