We are the Canine Cognition and Human Interaction Lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. We study dog behavior and cognition along with the canine-human bond. The team is lead by @jeffreyrstevens.bsky.social.
Want to learn about how dogs' amazing sense of smell can help us battle invasive species? Pick up a copy of Detective Dogs! Come to the launch party at Francie & Finch Bookshop this Friday, Sept 19 at 5:30pm in Lincoln, NE. There will be real-life sniffer dogs showing how they do their work! 🐶🐕🐾
