The effect of tactile and acoustic signals on reduction of signs of stress in dogs
 Murínová, Karolína ; Santariová, Milena (advisor) ; Fuchs, Roman (referee)
Being touched by the human brings up physiological and behavioral feedback in the dog which indicates touch has a calming effect. Measurements taken include noticable changes in blood pressure, heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) as well as hormonal changes - especially oxytoxin and cortisol levels. The primary objective of the fieldwork was analyzing the influence human touch has on the stressed dog and trying to bring its stress levels down using voice stimulation and a combination of voice and tactile stimuli. The dog was put into an empty room, causing elevated stress levels. After a fixed period of time the dog's owner would enter and try to calm the dog down using afromentioned treatments. The owner would then sit down on a chair and pay no more attention to the dog. The relaxing effect is being evaluated using two cardiovascular parameters, HR and HRV, and behavioural signaling. Measurements of each of the sessions are being taken three times when the dog is not moving. Phase 1 is when the dog is alone in a room, Phase 2 is taken just after the interaction with its owner has ended and Phase 3 at the end of the experiment when the dog's stress level is still. The results showed that, instead of the expected calming effect of social interaction with the owner, the effect was...

Haptic as a means of interspecific communication between dog (Canis lupus familiaris) and human
 Jurásková, Karolína ; Santariová, Milena (advisor) ; Štěrbová, Zuzana (referee)
Even though haptics is an integral constituent of the intraspecific communication between man and dog, it is studied in lesser extent to its sibling disciplines. This paper consolidates existing findings about means of tactile communication man and dog demonstrate when engaged in reciprocal sharing of information. The complexity of intraspecific communication between these two species is quite unique and mostly enabled by the evolutionary processes of domestication, which in effect made dogs more adapt to understanding human signalling more tightly than what is the case for other primates. Given how the dog and the man use haptics withing the bounds of intraspecific communication, the relationship evolved beyond it and towards the realm of relational interactions. Let us then, characterize the individual types of signals and their meanings. Tactile signals find their use in both the everyday life and during a training by a professional. Touch can be used as negative and positive reinforcement. It can be stressful to the dog if perceived negatively or calming if perceived positively. Relaxational effects of tactile contact is also used by a form of rehabilitation called animal assisted therapy. Given the variability of haptic stimuli, both acting species can manifest a plethora of...
