Cortisol is not just related to stress -- it also related to alertness, exercise, stimulation, hunger, gender, and even time of day. Cortisol levels rise if you have to give a speech, when you go to a rock concert, when you have sex, if you smoke a joint, etc. In fact measuring cortisol in dogs may actually be meaningless since we do not know what cortisol is a measure of. Is is stress? Anticipation? Excitement? For example, dogs that are trained with food rewards have higher cortisol levels. Does that mean the food is torture, or just that they're excited? Who knows? One thing we do know, however, is that coffee and cortisol impact each other and, for what it's worth, we may all be drinking our coffee wrong.
