Exploratory Framework for Assessing Dog–Human Relational Environments. A DOGGO Academy Foundation Working Paper

This project presents an exploratory working paper developed by DOGGO Academy Foundation. The paper proposes a conceptual framework for assessing dog–human relational environments, grounded in existing scientific literature and structured observational practice. The document does not report clinical research, does not provide therapeutic claims, and does not present validated interventions. It is intended as a foundational, non-clinical contribution to ongoing research and standard development in the field of dog welfare and dog–human relations. This OSF project serves as a supporting research workspace and archival record for the development of the framework. The working paper does not report clinical research, does not provide therapeutic recommendations, and should not be interpreted as clinical guidance.
