Megjegyzések:	Dogs' responsiveness to instructions of the handler is known to be influenced by several factors. In this study we examined whether reward-handler dissociation has an effect on the obedience performance of family dogs with basic training history. We looked at situations involving human-dog interactions under controlled laboratory settings by measuring dogs' obedience performance to two known commands (?sit' and ?down') in several different conditions. For two different groups of dogs, we manipulated the source of the food reward: it was provided either by the handler or by a remote controlled food dispenser device during a practising period, when the handler stood in the dog's close vicinity (0.5 m). In three different test conditions the position of the handler was manipulated: he/she stood further away (3 m) from the dog either beside a screen, hid behind the screen or was outside of the room. No food reward was provided during the test trials, which were interrupted by so called reminder sessions, where dog-handler dyads practiced both commands in close vicinity to each other and food reward was also involved. We found that the performance of dogs that experienced receiving food reward from the handler was significantly poorer during the test conditions, i.e. in contexts with increased distance between them and the handler (including handler out of sight), as compared to their performance during the reminder sessions in the handlers' close vicinity. Experience with receiving food reward form the dispenser device lessened the difference in dogs' obedience between the test conditions and reminder sessions, and moreover, it also revealed a more prompt response to the ?sit' than to the ?down' commands. Thus our results show that reward-handler dissociation seems to affect dogs' obedience performance in the investigated conditions.

Cím:	Influence of Owners' Attachment Style and Personality on Their Dogs' (Canis familiaris) Separation-Related Disorder / Veronika Konok, András Kosztolányi, Wohlfarth Rainer, Bettina Mutschler, Ulrike Halsband, Ádám Miklósi
Dátum:	2015

Megjegyzések:	Previous research has suggested that owners' attitude to their family dogs may contribute to a variety of behaviour problems in the dog, and authors assume that dogs with separation-related disorder (SRD) attach differently to the owner than typical dogs do. Our previous research suggested that these dogs may have an insecure attachment style. In the present study we have investigated whether owners' attachment style, personality traits and the personality of the dog influence the occurrence of SRD in the dog. In an internet-based survey 1508 (1185 German and 323 Hungarian) dog-owners filled in five questionnaires: Demographic questions, Separation Behaviour Questionnaire (to determine SRD), Human and Dog Big Five Inventory and Adult Attachment Scale. We found that with owners' higher score on attachment avoidance the occurrence of SRD in the dog increases. Dogs scoring higher on the neuroticism scale were more prone to develop SRD. Our results suggest that owners' attachment avoidance may facilitate the development of SRD in dogs. We assume that avoidant owners are less responsive to the dog's needs and do not provide a secure base for the dog when needed. As a result dogs form an insecure attachment and may develop SRD. However, there may be alternative explanations of our findings that we also discuss.
