How vocal is your dog?

We would love to know how often your dog vocalises, which situations your dog vocalises in and whether they bark, howl, whine or growl in those situations (or makes their own unique sounds!).

 

Whether your dog vocalises all the time or hardly ever, we want to know about them to understand the full spectrum of vocal behaviour in our canine companions. Please click on the link below to find out more about how you can be part of this exciting research project and help us better understand dog vocal communication.
