Dog Owner Bond

The dog-owner bond is a social attachment between a dog and its human caregiver that shapes communication, behavior, and welfare. It develops through repeated interactions, including responsive care, play, physical contact, and reward-based learning, in which predictable outcomes strengthen proximity-seeking and cooperation. Behavioral researchers assess this relationship through measures such as following, greeting, separation responses, and willingness to seek contact, while training uses trust and reinforcement to support desirable behaviors. Understanding the bond can improve companion-animal welfare, guide humane behavior interventions, and clarify how everyday caregiving influences stress, learning, and long-term relationships.

Cited by 4 •

2017

This article presents eight different experimental tasks, mirroring the everyday life of dogs and owners, used to analyze how owners interact with their dogs in a standardized way. The tasks included both positive (e.g. play) and negative (potentially stressful) situations (e.g. physical restriction).

Bond Energies and Bond Lengths

Stable molecules exist because covalent bonds hold the atoms together. The strength of a covalent bond is measured by the energy required to break it, that is, the energy necessary to separate the bonded atoms. Separating any pair of bonded atoms requires energy — the stronger a bond, the greater the energy required to break it. The energy required to break a specific covalent bond in one mole of gaseous molecules is called the bond energy or the bond dissociation energy. The bond energy for a...

Electrochemotherapy is the local treatment of solid tumors. The main mechanism is electroporation-mediated permeabilization of the tumor cells' membrane which enables increased internalization of cytostatics like bleomycin and cisplatin. Thus, antitumor effectiveness is potentiated at the site of the application of electric pulses to the tumors.

Bonding in Metals

Metallic bonds are formed between two metal atoms. A simplified model to describe metallic bonding has been developed by Paul Drüde called the “Electron Sea Model”. Electron Sea Model Most metal atoms do not possess enough valence electrons to enter into an ionic or covalent bonding. However, the valence electrons in metal atoms are loosely held due to their low electronegativity or attraction with the nucleus. The ionization energy of metal atoms (energy required to remove an electron from...
