Monday 6th March at 3:30pm.
Jade Hooper and I will be hosting an online screening of a talk by Carri Westgarth (who spoke at BERG a few weeks ago).
It’s a recording of a talk that Carri did for the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC) called ‘Dog Bites - Public health risk and prevention strategies’.
We’ll be watching it together and then maybe have a discussion after.
It’s fairly long (1.5-2hrs) so people would be welcome to come along just for a bit if they can’t stay for the whole time. Bring your own snacks!
The link for the Teams meeting is below:

Dear Bergers,
I'm delighted to announce that this week's Berg seminar will be by Carri Westgarth, from the University of Liverpool. The seminar will be online at 4pm on Wednesday Feb 8th at this link. Below is her abstract and the list of other upcoming talks:
You see a dog - you read their story - you fall in love” Importing rescue dogs from overseas
In this presentation Carri will present her research studies on the importation of overseas rescue dogs. Despite this being both a very popular and contentious practice there was virtually no research evidence in this area until very recently. Findings will be presented regarding both positive and negative welfare implications for both the dogs and the owners. Finally, challenges and implications for practice and policy in this area are discussed.

We (Dr Roxanne Hawkins, Dr Charlotte Robinson, Prof. Jo Williams) are a team of researchers based within Clinical and Health Psychology at the University of Edinburgh and we are conducting a new research study as part of a Society for Companion Animal Studies (SCAS) funded project into pets and mental health.
We are recruiting people aged 18-25 years who live in the UK, who have a pet dog and/or cat, and are struggling with anxious feelings and/or low mood, for a research study on pets and the self-management of mental health difficulties. Participants do not need to have a mental health diagnosis to take part. The project involves an online interview (approx. 30-60 mins) with a researcher, and as a thank you, we can offer a £20 Amazon voucher.
To find out more information, and to sign-up for the study, please follow this link:
