The impact of therapy dogs on perceptions of police officers
Background : Amid national conversations about police accountability and injustice, therapy dogs in police stations may offer an innovative way to improve police-community interactions. This study examined the impact of therapy dog presence on perceptions of police officers, as well as the potential moderating role of officer gender and participants’ general attitudes toward law enforcement on this effect. Methods : A total of N = 473 participant…
The Effect of a Dog on Acute Stress Reactivity During Experimental Stressors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The effects of service dogs for children with autism spectrum disorder and their caregivers: A cross-sectional study
In conclusion, service dogs were found to positively impact sleep behaviors among children with autism, but may not uniformly relate to other areas of child and caregiver wellbeing. Prospective longitudinal designs, larger sample sizes able to detect small effects, and studies that measure sleep using objective methods are needed to build on these findings
Complexities and considerations in conducting animal-assisted intervention research: A discussion of randomized controlled trials
The field of human-animal interaction (HAI) has experienced prolific growth in the scope, breadth, and rigor of research conducted on animal-assisted interventions (AAIs). As knowledge regarding the preliminary efficacy of AAIs on outcomes of human health and wellbeing continues to accumulate, so has information regarding the feasibility, safety, and acceptability of AAIs. This progression, combined with an increase in funding opportunities, inst…
Psychiatric service dog placements are associated with better daily psychosocial functioning for military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder
Results further revealed that the service dog's trained tasks may be particularly important for social functioning outcomes, and the service dog's presence for emotional functioning outcomes. Findings highlight a need for education surrounding service dog etiquette and reveal potential mechanisms underlying psychiatric service dog placements.

Service dogs for autistic children and family system functioning: A constant comparative analysis
Results highlighted the service dog's influence on the entire family (beyond the autistic child). Implications for service dog organizations suggest it may be helpful to account for family-wide impacts throughout the placement process. High standards on the part of provider organizations may minimize negatives, optimizing outcomes for both humans and canines. Ultimately, findings enrich our understanding of service dog interventions for autistic …
The Effect of Mental Activation of One’s Pet Dog on Stress Reactivity
Research suggests that mental activation of human social support may reduce stress reactivity. However, the extent to which social support from pets elicits a similar effect has been less explored. This study aims to determine whether the mental activation of one's pet dog reduces stress reactivity to a subsequent experimental stressor. In a 2 × 2 design, 132 dog-owning participants (M age = 20.14; 80% female) were randomly assigned to one of two…
Expectations versus experiences of veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) service dogs: An inductive conventional content analysis
[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 14(3) of Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy (see record 2022-33825-001). In this article, the length of time in which service dogs had been paired with Veterans was reported incorrectly in the third paragraph under the "Participants" heading of the "Methods" section whereby the sentence "Participants with a service dog had received their PTSD service dog…
The Effect of a PTSD Service Dog on Military Veterans' Medication Regimens: A Cross-Sectional Pilot Study
Recent research suggests that service dogs may have clinically-relevant benefits for military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the effects of PTSD service dogs on veterans' medication use has been largely unexplored. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of PTSD service dogs on medication use among a population of military veterans with PTSD. In a cross-sectional design, United States post-9/11 militar…
