In diesem “Neues aus der Wissenschaft” geht es rund um die Selbstkontrolle beim Hund. Was ist Selbstkontrolle überhaupt, welche Konzepte und Hypothesen hat die Wissenschaft dazu und wo kommt Selbstkontrolle überhaupt zur Anwendung?

Diesbezüglich schauen wir uns folgende Studie an:

• Silver, Zachary A., et al. "Training Does Not Uniformly Increase Canine Self-Control." Animals 15.3 (2025): 320.

In dieser haben Forschende untersucht, ob Selbstkontrolle bei Hunden überhaupt trainierbar ist. Dementsprechend beleuchten wir diese Arbeit, schauen uns wann, was da genau gemacht wurde und was die Resultate und Schlussfolgerungen aus dieser Arbeit sind.
