Description of Seminar/Conference
	What does the dog say? is a 90 minute webinar, live on March 4, 2015 and then recorded for OnDemand viewing. Why do dogs bark? Are they trying to communicate when they bark? We first learned that dogs bark when we were in preschool, and most of us have probably been hearing dogs bark every day since. But despite its constant presence in our lives the function of this vocalization is still highly contested. In this talk, Dr. Kathyrn Lord will take a comparative look at the dog bark with vocalizations in other species. Based on this and the bioacoustics of the bark itself, Dr. Lord will present a hypothesis on the function of the bark as the result of conflicting inner states. She will also present some new data that tests this hypothesis against the idea that barks have evolved in dogs as interspecific communication with humans. This talk is moderated by Monique Udell, PhD.
