SHORT ONLINE SURVEY ABOUT DOG WELFARE AND KENNEL FACILITIES
My name is Mia Cobb and I am conducting an online survey as part of my PhD research at Monash University in Australia.
I am looking for people aged 18 and over who will complete a short and anonymous online questionnaire. The questionnaire takes around 10 minutes to complete and asks questions about your attitudes towards the welfare of dogs and kennel facilities, as well as a few general questions about yourself.
The questionnaire is not restricted to Australian participants and you do not need to have had any direct experience with a kennel facility to take part.
You don't have to be a dog owner or even 'like' dogs to participate.
Public opinion is often a driving force in the provision of care for animals housed in captivity. Therefore, a survey is important to accurately establish the views of the general public as well as dog trainers and primary care givers (such as kennel attendant staff) who are generally directly responsible for decisions regarding the care provided to dogs housed in kennel facilities.
Please follow this link to read the ‘Participant Information Explanatory Statement’ in full and to commence the survey.
