Dogs Can't Talk, Can You Tell a Story?

A lot of what you know about dogs interior lives comes from your own research lab at Barnard, the dog cognition lab. Can you describe how a dog lab or at least your dog lab actually works? Sure. Mine might be a little bit unusual in that there's not a lab that's constantly staffed. We work together through the course of a year on one or several studies on mass. Most of them are New York City dogs, but sometimes people drive in from hundreds of miles away to be part of the study and they come with their people.
