Part 1 of the Catalyst: "We recruited 3 regular dog owners, called a team of experts and designed a daunting 2 week challenge."
Dr Jonica Newby
The dog is man and woman's best friend, but how good a friend to your dog are you? We all like to think our dogs are really happy with us. But how can we be sure? A new study of dogs being hugged suggests most of us are not actually very good at telling. And that made us wonder - are our dogs really happy, and can we use science to make them happier? So we recruited three regular dog owners, called a team of experts and designed a daunting two-week challenge for them and for you. Our aim - over two episodes to use this challenge and the latest science to supercharge their canine communication skills and develop a happier relationship with their dogs. It's all part of a new science, dubbed dogmanship.
