DOG  COGNITION  LAB 
BARNARD COLLEGE OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

Welcome to the Horowitz Dog Cognition Lab!


Begun in 2008, our group studies the behavior and cognition
​of the domestic dog, Canis familiaris.
Past and present research topics include:
  • Effect of nosework on personality
  • Self-recognition 
  • Dog-human play -- categories and consequences
  • Olfactory discrimination 
  • Empirical investigation of anthropomorphisms, including:
    • Analysis of the dog's understanding of "fairness"
    • An analysis of the "guilty look" of dogs
  • Use of attention and play signals in social play            

Interested in volunteering in the lab? College and post-bacc students in NYC please email us in early September
