Maddie's Insights: Becoming a Secure Base: Using science to improve human-animal bonds and welfare - On-demand webcast

Maddie's® Insights are monthly webcasts with practical tips based on current research to help pets and people.  

Many people feel that they have shared a strong bond with a do, and there is growing scientific evidence that these dogs also form strong bonds with their humans. However, science also tells us that not all bonds are created equal. The kind and quality of attachment relationship shared can influence a dog’s behavior and welfare outcomes. In this talk, Dr. Monique Udell provides an overview of attachment theory, including what it means to be a Secure Base, and how this knowledge can be applied to better understand and improve dog-human relationships and the relationships shared between humans and other animals.

Presenter: Monique Udell, Ph. D., CAAB
