Webinar – 1/28/21 – Genetics of Dog Aggression – Dr. Jessica Hekman, DVM, PhD – PPG (fee applies)

Virtual

Pet Professional Guild Presents (fee applies): What do (and don't) we know about how genetics affects canine aggression? In this webinar, Jessica Hekman will take a deep dive into her own area of research - how genetics affects personality in dogs. How much of canine personality is due to genetics and how much to environment? How do researchers track down genes related to personality? Have any such genes yet been found? Can we expect a genetic test for dog reactivity any time soon? In this webinar, Jessica will particularly address examples from human literature about traits that are similar to reactivity and aggression in dogs, why they are so hard to understand from a genetics viewpoint, and what the future holds for us.
