Done deal—cohabiting dominant and subordinate dogs differently rely on familiar demonstrators in a detour task

BMC Biology
Background Companion dogs live in a mixed-species environment, where they can successfully learn from both humans and dogs. Breed type, the demonstrator’s behavior, and in multi-dog households, the dogs’ hierarchy are known influencing factors of the ...

The role of dogs is associated with owner management practices and characteristics, but not with perceived canine behaviour problems

Scientific Reports
Owned dogs are often regarded as family members, best friends, or even as substitutes for children. These new roles and their effects on human well-being have received scientific attention, but little is known about how attributing such social functions ...
