B.A.R.K. UBC in collaboration with Brock University has launched a new study to explore the effect of virtual interactions with therapy dogs and handlers.
There are three components to this study, all of which are completed within a single session and can be done at any time:
- An initial online survey (five minutes)
- Attending a small-group session (five minutes) during which participants will watch a pre-recorded video of a B.A.R.K. handler and therapy dog team
- A second online survey (five minutes) to be completed immediately after the session
Eligibility
Participants must be:
- 16 years or older
- Fluent in English
B.A.R.K. does not recommend participating if you are anxious around dogs.
