  • The association between maternal behavior and later offspring temperament and cognition
  • The association between maternal behavior and later success of the offspring as a guide dog
  • The nuances of maternal behavior and how small amounts of stress in early life likely lead to resilience
  • Research that's been undertaken to investigate the influence of mothering across other types of working dogs
