Sit, Stay, Speak: Unleashing the Science of Dog-Human Communication

Live from Centennial Hall on Thursday, March 6, 2025 at 7:00pm MST with Dr. Emily Bray and Dr. Evan MacLean.

Dogs have lived alongside humans for tens of thousands of years, occupying roles ranging from hunting partners to couch companions. What is it that allows dogs to thrive in a human world and how do humans and dogs seemingly communicate so effectively across the species divide?

In this lecture, we will explore what dogs really understand about human communication and whether dogs have evolved unusual abilities for success in this domain. We will similarly consider what we as humans understand about the communicative world of dogs and how a better scientific understanding of dog behavior and cognition can enrich dog-human communication in the future.
