Hello,

I am a student studying animal behavior and welfare. For my final year project, I am researching the behavioral effects of different foods on pet dogs.
It would be really helpful for me if you lovely people would please take the time to participate in my questionnaire. It will only take a few minutes to complete and I will forever be in your debt!
Dog foods and pet behaviour

I own a beautiful Siberian husky - who is also a massive pain in the ass - but i wouldn't change her for the world! what kind of dogs does everyone own?

Done - I did spot a few problems though:

Q7 How often do you walk your dog? The option 9-14 times a week said 'more than twice a day', but 'more than twice a day' would imply 15 or more walks.

Q11 I said I had seen pacing and drooling in my dog, but this was while he was getting over a sedative so not sure it applies. I have also seen trembling, but only in the presence of extreme streessors such as storms, the vet.

Also, the neighbours have never said that they have heard him whining when left, but I know that he has done this, either as I approached the house or after recording him.

Q12 Do you regard your dog's behaviour as good or problematic? I wasn't sure how to respond. Almost all the time, he is extremely well behaved and obedient. But he needs careful management because in certain situations he can flip, so he is always muzzled when out of the house to be on the safe side. So his behaviour is both very good and (potentially) very problematic!

Q21 I'm not sure of the differences between 'health benefit claims' and 'nutritional claims'.

Q28 'Dissagree' should be 'disagree'!

I hope that helps

Done , agree with @JudyN about some of the questions but I answered best I can..

My neighbours (the ones who count) havent said they hear him but I know what hes like he howls at sirens and noises hes not sure of if we're not here.

Again 'problematic' its not a problem for me but I understand that some of his behaviour is not seen as socially acceptable.

I ticked over 19 . I'm way past that age!
I had difficulty answering the questions , It mentioned if I thought if meds would help my dog but didn't say what type of meds.

Im not sure what the calming foods are either.
