THE POWER OF PUPPY DOG EYES FT DR JULIANE KAMINSKI

Listen on

Episode notes

"we should... not underestimate (dogs) and...how rich their environment needs to be… for them to really enjoy life."

 

We speak to Dr Juliane Kaminski, whose fascination with the animal mind and its difference from our own is leading to insights in how we can better relate to our furry friends.

Her team have found out how a particular eyebrow movement in domestic dogs can be used to influence our behaviour, meaning human beings are wrapped around their paws, without even realising it!
