I have a new blog post at Psychology Today called Animal-Assisted Therapy: The Guinea Pigs' Perspective.
It's about a new study by Gut et al that looked at the behavioural response of guinea pigs in animal-assisted therapy sessions with and without the option of retreat. There are implications not just for animal-assisted therapy but also for anyone with pet guinea pigs.
In case you missed it, in February I had a post on Choosing Dogs that can Breathe.
I also have a paper in press at the Journal of Veterinary Behavior: Barriers to the adoption of humane dog training methods. Temporary free access is available at this link.
