个人简介

I am a PhD student in the School of Life Sciences and my research area is the selection and environmental conditioning of working dogs. The project focuses on methods for evaluating temperament in dogs and puppies, identifying the optimal psychological phenotype of working dogs, looking at the concept of individual zones of optimal functioning and working performance in dogs and developing selection & training protocols to optimise the performance of working dogs. I also supervise undergraduate & postgraduate research projects focusing on rat cognition, specifically the relative salience of visual and olfactory cues in task learning, the effect of reward type and delivery on the choice of sense used to solve a task, and rates of learning across different paradigms. I teach puppy classes at the university and also assist in running dog handling and animal first aid evenings, as well as assisting with running undergraduate and taught MSc practical’s from using video coding software to dog training, behaviour and handling assesments.
