@DogSpies
PhD candidate @GC_CUNY & presenter of dog science. I would like to meet your dog. Also! Cat behavior and welfare!


City for Dogs day is here! 🐕🏙️💛 This has been a fun way to explore a dog’s world and my home city in new ways. Thanks to @networkedcities @SciMelb @AWSciCent for partnering to deliver this. Can’t wait to see what conversations it sparks! pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/we-ch…

Dogs of NY, we are looking for you! We are currently looking for participants for our Attention to Attention study at the College of Staten Island. Please spread the word!

You still have a chance to take part in our next cat fetching study! Please sign up to this mailing list using your email address and you will be told when the next study is available 👉 bit.ly/catfetch2023

1/6 Have you ever wondered if domestic cats can fetch and retrieve objects like dogs? 🤔 @DaveLeavens, @LRRenner and I were interested in how cats begin to fetch, where the agency is in this behaviour (owner or cat?) and what sorts of objects may be retrieved. #AnimBehav2023

long-shot query: do any of my lovely followers know someone who has cloned a dog? (and can you put me in touch with them?)


#InternationalHumanAnimalBondDay 😻 Playing with your cat strengthens your bond! Research has shown that owners who played regularly with their cats felt their cats experienced a better quality of life. So, remember to play today! 🐾 More advice 👉 icatcare.org/international-…

Was an absolute pleasure to bounce ideas about with @KatLittlewood @MorganVHeslop to bring this theory-heavy (but also practical!) piece together. We hope you enjoy it and would love to hear your feedback #animalwelfare #agency #choice #control #animals @SciMelb @MasseyUni
