The Power of Discourse: Associations between Trainers’ Speech and the Responses of Socialized Wolves and Dogs to Training

Animals, 2023
In a previous study, we found that Positive Reinforcement Training reduced cortisol of wolves and dogs; however, this effect varied across trainer–animal dyads. Here we investigate whether and how the trainers’ use of speech may contribute to this effect.

The effects of age, sex, weight, and breed on canid methylomes

Epigenetics, 2022
Unlike genomes, which are static throughout the lifespan of an organism, DNA methylomes are dynamic. To study these dynamics, we developed quantitative models that measure the effect of multiple factors on DNA methylomes including, age, sex, weight, and ...
