Recreational Activities in Dogs – Enrich yours and your dogs time during COVID-19 lock down!
I am delighted to announce a new study, where we will be investigating if and how dogs of different breeds differ in their abilities to process human faces and emotions. Given the current guidance to wear protective face masks we are further interested in the question, how dogs of different breeds cope with the covering of the face and how this influences human-dog communication.
The stay-at-home orders resulting from COVID-19 has led to dog owners spending more time at home with their dogs, and we want to know how their recreational time is spent together.
We are looking for dog owners to participate from home to help to answer these questions. If you are interested in participating, please start by filling out our questionnaire linked below, and consider participating in our follow-up studies.

Dear Regina,
Thanks so much for your comment participation and feedback. If I understand you correctly, you are asking, why there has not been an option to leave your email address for the follow-up studies? The study has been designed in a way, that you get in contact with Amy West once you decide to participate in the follow-up studies. She will provide you with all the information on how to proceed.
