In this episode, we discuss the flaws of many scientific dog studies. Instead of peer-reviewed, validated, solid scientific studies, we deal with far too many manipulated, unverifiable 'studies' that are meaningless at best and misleading or manipulated at worst. We discuss how science is supposed (and used) to work. Learn why studies based on surveys and questionnaires are mostly useless. Understand how results are often manipulated to produce a desired, pre-determined outcome instead of factual data. And how even well-intentioned, honest scientists produce a lot of bad, incorrect data when studying dog training methods.
