An evaluation of the physiological affects of anticipation, activity arousal and recovery in sprinting Greyhounds
This study was designed to separate the physically induced effects of activity from the psychologically induced effects of anticipation of activity. The purpose of this study was to determine if a psychological experience (i.e., activity anticipation) would cause a significant physiological reaction in athletic and working dogs. Physiological reaction to a psychological experience was determined […]
The effects of kennel size and exercise on the behaviour and stress physiology of individually-housed greyhounds
Greyhounds are routinely bred and managed for racing and are usually housed in individual kennels. To address the question of whether greyhounds would benefit from an increase in the minimum kennel size specified in the Victorian Code of Practice, the effects of kennel size and routine exercise on dog behaviour, stress physiology and injuries were […]
