What Do Dogs Do When They Are Asked To Vary Their Behavior?

Elaina Franklin of Positive Solutions Animal Training collaborated with Dr. Lauren Highfill, a Comparative Psychologist, from Eckerd College to take a closer look at the canine's personality to understand individual differences with creative behaviors. Their research was published in the International Journal of Comparative Psychology.
