Dog In CostumeBy: Ella Johnson andRachel Penners
Question If we walked our two dogs with
costumes on, would they get more reactions from people?
Abstract We knew that most people love dogs
and would think they were cute if they had costumes on. We were wondering if more people would react with costumes or not.
Hypothesis If we walked our dogs with the
costumes, then we’d get more people to notice our dogs and react.
Experimental Procedure Sunday, April 22 at 11:45 We walked them around in the Rose
Garden by Lake Harriet. Whenever we saw someone walking,
biking, driving, etc. We counted if people would smile, laugh or comment when they looked at our dogs.
Controlled Variable We walked our dogs without the
costumes for 15 minutes to see how many people would react.

Conclusion Our hypothesis was correct because
people have been habituated to seeing dogs, but not dogs with costumes. However, it was barely right because during the without costumes part, the Golden Retriever, Daisy, ran into the street and many cars had to stop for her.
Further Research We could walked them in a different
area and see how different groups react. We could test how people react to
seeing people in costumes. It is related to classical conditioning
because people associate seeing dogs in costumes with something interesting or unusual happening.
