Companion Animal Psychology

Companion Animal Psychology is a scientific field that studies the behavior, emotions, and mental well-being of pets like dogs and cats. It aims to understand how animals think and feel to improve their lives and strengthen the human-animal bond. Researchers explore topics such as training, socialization, communication, and welfare, using evidence-based approaches. This knowledge helps pet owners, trainers, and veterinarians promote healthier, happier lives for animals and foster better relationships between people and their pets.
