Information on this infographic has varying sample sizes for each data set between 120 – 1,100 valid submissions. In-depth percentages and statistics of the entirety of the project will be published for free distribution in early 2018. Data has been collected anonymously via the 2017 Nerdy Doggo Research Project and sources of submissions range from multiple forms of social media, online, face to face and word of mouth promotion over the course of 9 months. The infographic here is not to tell people what is right or wrong, it is here to show people the diversity in our human pup play community.
