The Dog Talk Project

All are welcome to visit the Dog Talk Project to learn more about this project.
See below for details.

We would like to invite members of your dog group to participate in a new on-line survey research program involving dogs and their people. The Dog Talk Project is a web-based system of surveys that studies a wide range of dog-related topics, including dog owners’ daily activities and routines, dog health care practices, behavior and training, breed preferences and attitudes, the social effects of dogs, and nutrition and feeding practices. We currently are collecting data with seven surveys. Interesting results are regularly updated and posted on our “Results Pages” and are also being used for a book project and for several research studies.

Participation is free and is completely voluntary and is open to anyone who lives with and loves dogs! Participating dog owners have a wide variety of dog interests and professions, and include dog sports enthusiasts, 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!

Please feel welcome to visit the Dog Talk Project to learn more about this project. If you find Dog Talk to be of value, please invite your group’s members to join Dog Talk and share their dog-related experiences and knowledge.
