Our friends at the Pace University Dog Lab (.doglab) are launching a new virtual study! This study is open to anyone no matter where you are located.

The Reconciliation Project is designed to test how your dog responds after they have misbehaved, and involves your dog eating a forbidden treat. PUDL is interested in how dogs respond to emotional displays from their owners. During the trials, you will briefly demonstrate three different emotions towards your dog in response to them eating a treat, then PUDL will measure their behavior.

If you are interested in this virtual study, please enroll your dog through PUDL's website: https://www.pace.edu/dyson/departments/psychology-pleasantville/psychology-research-groups/dog-lab

Say hi to our Undergrad Research Assistant, Abe! Abe began working in the lab as an UTRA student this summer, and is currently studying Biology.

Abe has always been a dog lover and has grown up with two dogs at home. In high school, Abe volunteered with his dog, Shluffy, as an Animal Assisted Intervention handler in memory care facilities. He is excited to learn more about canine cognition and how dogs think and learn about the world around them.

Outside of the lab, Abe is a member of the Brown Wrestling team. In his free time, he enjoys hiking, spending time outdoors, and hanging out with his dogs.
