    • BRAY Lab

      The BRAY (Behavioral Research Across Years) lab is directed by Dr. Emily Bray, an assistant professor at the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine. We study how dogs think, problem solve, and interact with their world and our own species, including the various factors that influence those behaviors. Explore this website to learn more about the research.

    • Arizona Canine Cognition Center

      The Arizona Canine Cognition Center is a research group in the College of Veterinary Medicine, led by Dr. Evan MacLean.
