In two newly published studies, researchers at the Department of Ethology, Eötvös Loránd University (Hungary) investigated how family dogs’ ADHD-like traits relate to their learning and self-control. Dogs resemble humans in many ways—even traits similar to human Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can naturally appear in them and can be assessed through validated questionnaires developed by the research group. Their recent findings not only highlight parallels between dog and human behavior but also offer practical insights for dog training.
