Canine behavior refers to the study of the actions and responses exhibited by dogs in various situations. This field of research explores topics such as social interactions among dogs, communication between dogs and humans, aggression, fear, anxiety, and other emotions displayed by dogs. Researchers in this area aim to understand the underlying motivations and mechanisms behind different canine behaviors, as well as to develop effective training and behavior modification techniques. By studying canine behavior, scientists can also gain insights into human-animal relationships and the evolutionary origins of certain behaviors shared by dogs and their wild ancestors.
