  • Abstract
    The Facilitating Interactions for Dogs with Occupations (FIDO) project in the Animal Interaction Lab at Georgia Tech aims to facilitate communication between working dogs and their handlers. Here, the authors discuss their research on testing a working dog´s ability to perform distinct tasks in response to vibrations at different points on their body.
