Dog science at heart: Our scientific commitment

At Dogs and Science, canine science is our heartbeat and driving force. We continuously strive to advance this research field and help develop a deeper understanding of dogs by undertaking rigorous research, providing science-related services, and in the future, offering the Dogs and Science Research Award and research funding.

What do we offer?

Rigorous eesearch:

Conducting cutting-edge studies in canine behaviour and AI-based behaviour analysis, cognition, welfare, emotions, and animal ethics to deepen our understanding of dogs.

Science-related services:

Providing comprehensive support across all stages of scientific research, from planning and data collection to dissemination.

Future funding and awards:

Planning to introduce the Dogs and Science Research Award and funding opportunities to support innovative research in canine science.

Our research

Our research, conducted in collaboration with international experts, focuses on key areas such as canine behaviour, AI-driven behaviour analysis, cognition, welfare, emotions, and animal ethics. Through these projects, we aim to contribute to a deeper empirical understanding of dogs, enriching the broader scientific knowledge in the field. Our past and ongoing studies have uncovered fascinating insights, particularly in canine behaviour and AI-based analysis, advancing both the science and practical applications of this knowledge.

We support
science communication

At Dogs and Science, we believe that science becomes truly impactful when it’s shared and understood by a broader audience.

We’re passionate about transforming complex research into accessible and engaging content for everyone. Beyond our own efforts, we actively support fellow researchers in communicating their findings effectively.
Recently, we received funding to host a workshop on effective science communication for the Animal Welfare Research Network (www.awrn.co.uk). The event featured exceptional speakers who delved into the importance, strategies, motivations, and methods of science communication. The workshop was met with great enthusiasm, attracting over 100 registered participants.

Our commitment to science communication reflects our mission to bridge the gap between research and real-world application, ensuring that valuable insights reach those who can use them to make a meaningful difference in the world.

You are a researcher and looking to communicate your science or gain experience in science communication?
