Body language & preference: Is it as simple as watching your dog?
In this interactive afternoon session, together as fellow canine scientists, we will begin to answer the question about whether a dogs’ body language provides observable data about their preferences and efficacy of reinforcers. You will have the opportunity to be part of science’s knowledge creation as we watch videos of dogs during informal preference assessments, determine what we think their preferred food items are, and discuss what body language cues are informing our observations.
