Dog Talk Project

Posting this information received through The International Association of Canine Professionals:

We would like to invite members of your organization to participate in a new on-line research program involving owners and their dogs. The Dog Talk Project (http://www.dogtalkproject.com) is a web-based system of surveys that studies a wide range of dog-related topics, including dog owners’ daily activities and routines (i.e. how we live with and love our dogs), dog health care practices, behavior, training, breed preferences and attitudes, the social effects of dogs, and nutrition and feeding practices. We currently are collecting data with six surveys and have a new health care survey that will be launched in May. Interesting results are posted on our “Results Pages” and are updated regularly. Participation is free and is completely voluntary. Participating dog owners have a wide variety of dog interests and professions, and include dog sports enthusiasts, professional trainers and behaviorists, veterinarians, veterinary technicians, dog nutritionists, breeders, shelter and rescue professionals, and pet owners.

Please feel welcome to visit the Dog Talk Project to learn more about this project (http://www.dogtalkproject.com). If you find Dog Talk to be of value, please invite your group’s members to join Dog Talk and share their dog-related experiences and knowledge. We would love to hear from them and are hoping to collect valuable information regarding behavior, training, health care and nutrition.

Thanks for your time – we hope to see you and your members on Dog Talk! (Please feel welcome to cross-post this information to websites and email lists that you feel may be interested in this project).
