    Hi. 

    I am looking for 8-10 people from professional backgrounds: dog rescue and dog behavioural training.  

    I am  currently reserch what professionals do when supporting with dogs with behavioural issues.  For rescues - it's adoption and or return of dogs. And for Behaviourists - it's working with dog owners. 

    If you have time for a call where I can ask you few questions, that would be greatly appreciated. 

    To say 'thank you'.we will be giving out $30 gift cards. 

    Please reply in this thread if you would like to take part. You can also email me on marija7@gmail.com 

    Thank you! 

    Maria

    Hi Claire! 

    Apologies for the late reply.

    We are a UK-based Company and we are current working with UK-based academics or different research topics. Approach that we use is -  implementation of academic research outputs into the real user-facing tools for testing  and validation.

    For instance, we are planning a PhD research around support of people who are already engaging with a professional behaviourists using our tool: 

    Owner Wellbeing Check-in Tool 
    Background: Research suggests owner stress affects:
    behaviour modification compliance
    consistency
    training outcomes
    dog welfare
    Project: Implement a very brief owner wellbeing assessment inside Tailo.dog

    For Shelters
    Project: Develop and test a digital behaviour support pathway for adopters.
    Measure:
    adopter confidence
    dog return rates
    owner satisfaction
    bond development

    The outputs of this research will go towards Academic research and, potentially, research publications, as well as real-life impact for people who rescue dogs  and/or struggling with their dogs' behaviours. 

    If you interested in this type of research you can e-mail me on maria@dogtok.ai

    Thanks,
