Dogs of the World

Dogs have extraordinary abilities – they are able to communicate effectively with us, work alongside us and form close bonds with us. We investigate these abilities at the Jena Dog Studies Centre. This talk focuses on a major study for which we travelled around the world to investigate the dog–human relationship in non-Western societies as well. We’ll show how dogs are kept and treated in non-Western societies, and to what extent their abilities and their bond with humans are universal.

The talks will take place at 7.00 pm and 9.00 pm in Lecture Theatre 6 and will each last around an hour. In between and at the same time, you can find out more at our information stand in the foyer.
