K9 Metrics provides science-driven insights into canine behaviour and welfare. Developed through decades of research at the University of Lincoln, our tools help professionals, organisations, and owners make informed decisions, improve welfare outcomes, and strengthen the bond between people and dogs.
K9 Metrics is a suite of innovative, evidence-based tools that measure and interpret canine behaviour in real-world contexts. Designed by Professor Daniel Mills, our expert in animal behaviour, these tools translate research into clear, practical insights for professionals across sectors.
Our assessment tools bring clarity to complex behaviour. Whether for working dogs, companion animals, or welfare projects, they provide reliable, objective data to support better decisions.
By combining scientific rigour with user-friendly design, K9 Metrics makes professional assessment accessible and actionable.
K9 Metrics is built on the principle that research must lead to real-world impact. We collaborate with industry, charities, and government bodies to ensure our findings create tangible change.
Knowledge transfer bridges the gap between science and practice, giving organisations the tools to apply cutting-edge insights every day.
The Animal Behaviour Clinic at the University of Lincoln provides expert, evidence-based care for behavioural challenges. It is a trusted centre for owners, veterinarians, and organisations worldwide.
The clinic not only supports pets and families directly, but also feeds insights back into K9 Metrics, ensuring tools remain rooted in real-life practice.
