The Dog Talk Project is a survey and data collection program that studies the relationships between people and their dogs. The premise of Dog Talk is simple - we explore the details of relationships between dogs and their people by creating and distributing owner surveys that examine a wide variety of dog-related topics. Information collected through the surveys is organized into a continually expanding database, which is then used to answer questions about dogs' lives, their health care, nutrition, behavior, training, and their relationships with the other dogs and the people in their lives.
