What does attachment have to do with personality?

The relationship between humans and dogs shows similarities to the bond between parents and children, as science proves. But what does that mean exactly?

Various factors influence a dog's bond with its caregiver. Does breed play a role in this bonding behavior? Can a dog from a shelter potentially have a harder time bonding? And what influence do different personality traits have?

In this webinar, Dr. Marie Nitzschner presents current studies on the topic and explains what impact these findings can have on the coexistence of dogs and humans.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• the latest scientific findings on the topic of human-dog bonding,
• which factors can influence bonding,
• the connection between bonding and personality, and
• how you can build and strengthen a deep bond with your dog.
