Abstract:

Dogs play an important role in our society as companions and work partners, and proper training of these dogs is pivotal. For companion dogs, training helps preventing or managing dog behavioral problems—the most frequently cited reason for relinquishing and euthanasia, and it promotes successful dog-human relationships and thus maximizes benefits humans derive from bonding with dogs. For working dogs, training is crucial for them to successfully accomplish their jobs. Dog training methods range widely from those using predominantly aversive stimuli (aversive methods), to those combining avers

Abstract:

Many factors have specific effects, in varying degrees of intensity, on the metabolic energy requirements of working dogs. Appropriate energy supply adjusted to the requirements of military working dogs at pre-training is a basic prerequisite for working dogs, so they are fully able to exercise. Therefore, more knowledge obtained under standardized conditions would be advantageous. Twenty intact Belgian Shepherds var. Malinois at the age of 12 months were accompanied for four weeks during pre-training (odour detection, obedience training, and protection work) as military working dogs (MWDs) in

Abstract:

Genetic diseases occur in breeds used for law enforcement. As important team members, dogs are expected to operate at peak performance for several years and are significant investments for both the initial purchase and extensive, specialized training. Previous studies have not focused on causes for retirement or euthanasia as genetic (inherited) versus acquired (environmental). We performed direct mutational analysis for breed-specific conditions on samples from 304 dogs including 267 law enforcement (122 US, 87 Israeli, and 58 Polish) and 37 search and rescue dogs.

Generalizing to target odor variations while retaining specificity against non-targets is crucial to the success of detector dogs under working conditions. As such, the importance of generalization should be considered in the formulation of effective training strategies.

The approach was to measure capillary diffusion capacity (PS) in working hearts and then measure capillary numerical density (CD), capillary surface area density (CSA), and capillary volume density (CV) in specimens from perfused-fixed hearts. Eight dogs (20–30 kg) were exercise trained (ET) for 12–18 wk and compared with a group of seven control dogs. PS for 51Cr-labeled ethylen

Abstract:

Behaviour problems are amongst the most common reasons given for relinquishing dogs to rehoming centres. Some behaviour problems may be amenable to being tackled pre-emptively with classes educating owners on basic dog training and understanding behaviour; however, it is recognised that people with low socio-economic status (SES) may face barriers to attending classes such as affordability, variable working hours, and limited access to transport and childcare. The current study piloted free-to-use dog training and owner education classes in areas with high levels of economic deprivation, both

Abstract:

Background: Canine obesity is a growing problem, both in New Zealand and overseas. Veterinary nurses play a vital role as part of the veterinary healthcare team in ensuring clients are provided with timely, accurate, and consistent advice, and this includes advice relating to a pet's nutritional status and body condition. Aim: To investigate if there were any differences in body condition scores assigned to images of canines by veterinary nurses working in urban, suburban, and rural settings. Methods: Veterinary nurses (restricted to those with a minimum of 2 years formal training) in New Zeal

Abstract:

Recently, in order to advance biological technology and increase the number of elite dogs that possess unique abilities, researchers have put more focus on cloning superior dogs that have been acknowledged in their respective fields. These experiments depend on the known fact that cloned dogs will be both physically and psychologically similar to those that provided the somatic cells. However, little research has focused on whether it is genetic or posteriori factors that influence abilities to accomplish tasks. In this experiment, cloned beagles that have been produced from one somatic cell a

Background:Assistance dogs support humans with different physical disabilities: 1. Service dogs for people with diverse mobility impairments 2. signaling dogs for humans diagnosed with diabetes, hearing impairments, seizure, or posttraumatic stress disorder 3. guide dogs for people with visual impairments. Definitions and terms are not consistent over Europe; Austrian terminology is used in the following. These specially trained dogs support people in their everyday lives and make it possible that less help is required from personal assistants or caregivers. Diverse studies show this positive

Abstract:

Wildlife detection dog teams are employed internationally for environmental surveys, and their success often depends on the dog handler. Minimal research is available on the skills that dog handlers believe are important, and no research has been published on the personality profiles of wildlife detection dog handlers. This may reveal the skills that people should acquire to be successful at, or suitable for, this work. An online questionnaire was distributed to Australian and New Zealand wildlife detection dog handlers. This questionnaire provided a list of skills to be rated based on importa

Abstract:

This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted to determine the incidence rate and patterns of occupational injuries and to determine the factors which related to occupational injuries among veterinarians in veterinary clinics in Bangkok. The self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 395 veterinarians who had more than one-year experience in each veterinary clinic. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test, Fisher’s Exact test and Independent t-test.The results found that Incidence rate of occupational injuries among these veterinarians were 280 events per million man-hours and

Unceasing development of computing power of modern computers and advanced graphics card functions enable very faithful projections of the virtual world. However, issues related to real-time object generation and object interaction are complex research problems. A designer and programmer face a dilemma of modifying the model. Simplifying the model significantly affects minimisation of a detail. The article presents a position of digital registration of human behaviour in the virtual world. A study of human behaviour has been proposed, where the main stimulant is not an image but a sound. Partic
