Dr. Wan presented a webinar course for members of Behavior Education Network titled “Experience Matters: What Research Tells Us About Human Interpretation of Dog Behavior”.
Class Description:

“Dog behavior professionals often report that owners misinterpret dog behavior, failing to recognize signs of stress, fear, and arousal.  In this webinar, we will discuss recent research comparing non-owner, owner, and professional interpretations of emotion in dogs. Does experience really make a difference, and if so, how?  Methods, results, and implications of the study will be discussed, and the findings will be placed in context with other recent research. This webinar will be of interest to both pet owners and pet professionals.”
