Topic: How mothers matter: The influence of early maternal interaction on offspring behavior and development

Learn about the ways in which maternal style, experienced over the first few weeks of life, has a long-lasting impact on later offspring development.

Included in this discussion:

- The association between maternal behavior and later offspring temperament and cognition

- The association between maternal behavior and later success of the offspring as a guide dog

- The nuances of maternal behavior and how small amounts of stress in early life likely lead to resilience

- Ongoing research to investigate the influence of mothering across other types of working dogs
