2018 promises to be breakthrough year for the Center for Canine Behavior Studies. We will soon be making available, on our new website, the results of our inaugural study, the Animal Owner Interaction Study. The results are embargoed until the time of formal publication... 

It’s been an exceptionally warm summer for almost all of us, dogs included. While the sun shone and the humidity on the East Coast soared, we at the Center for Canine Behavior Studies were all hard at work. Aside from composing new fun questions, analyzing previous ones... 

Summer is here, and the dog days are upon us. Needless to say, we here at CCBS continue to work hard on a number of projects. Most importantly - because we are a center for behavior studies - is pouring over the results of Phase 1 of our second large study. With...
