Abstract
- The article focuses on a study that investigates the effects of human-dog interaction in order to study its impact on dog behaviour and salivary cortisol levels. For the study 19 long-term sheltered dogs of both sexes recruited at the Public Animal Shelter of Turin were divided into two behaviorally homogeneous groups. The results from the study indicated that some environmental changes have a positive effect upon the behaviour and the welfare of sheltered dogs.
