Street dogs in India live close to people but stay wary. Researchers tested how these free roaming dogs react to training cues. Some cues were friendly and rewarding, others were sharp and threatening. The team watched how each kind of signal changed the willingness of a dog to approach. The goal was to learn what makes a street dog trust or avoid a person. It is a careful behavior study, not a claim about all dogs. The findings are shared as a new paper.
