Feedback wanted from dog lovers who use local trails

112

Northborough/Westborough – Do you visit local nature trails and bring along your dog?  If so, local resident, Jane Walsh, is interested in your perceptions, attitudes and experiences. She is conducting survey research exploring the reasons people visit these trails, their attachment to them and how they perceive dog-related behaviors. In addition, she is curious about the threats, benefits and barriers associated with cleaning up after a dog when on a nature path.

As a graduate student at Nova Southeastern University, Walsh designed the study with a focus on trails close to home, thus the requirement that participants call upon their experiences of walking on trails in either Northborough or Westborough. The study is entitled “Psychosocial Correlates of Dog-Management Behavior When Visiting a Nature Trail.” There is no compensation for participation and questions may be directed to Walsh at [email protected]. Those interested in learning more or in participating, anonymously, can do so by visiting www.surveymonkey.com/r/trail-visitor-study. The survey is open through June 2019.
