The focus of this presentation is on the ways in which maternal style, experienced
over the first few weeks of life, has a long-lasting impact on later offspring development.
We proudly present Dr. Emily Bray, PhD - Post-doctoral Research Associate at the University of Arizona
School of Anthropology and Canine Companions for Independence® - who will join us to discuss:
- The association between maternal behavior and later offspring temperament and cognition
- The association between maternal behavior and later success as a guide dog
- The nuances of maternal behavior, and how small amounts of stress in early life likely lead to resilience
- Ongoing research to investigate the influence of mothering across other types of working dogs
