Research Interests: 

Animal Welfare, Animal Behaviour and the Human Animal Relationship (HAR) in companion and farm animals:

• Differences in companion animal behaviour and temperament profiles based on experience (e.g. puppy farm/rescue home/neuter status) and breed (e.g. newly recognised cross-breed dogs)
• Cognitive bias to measure affective state. Can whether an animal perceives its glass half full or half empty, be measured and if so can it inform on the welfare of the animal under different management regimes.
• Human-animal interaction and its affects on welfare, behaviour and production in the dairy herd. 

Student Transition: 

Peer Assisted Learning, and extended inductions to reduce attrition and increase success in non-traditional learners in HE.
