Figure 1

Schematic representation of the Cognitive Bias test layout. The dog, starting from the start position, moves to one of five locations on an arc 3–4 metres away, marked by the presence of a food bowl (only present at one location at any one trial). R-: Non Food position (negative location), NR- : Near Non Food ambiguous position, MID: Middle ambiguous position, NR+: Near Food ambiguous position and R+: Food position (positive location). Different distances were used on the basis of available space, but were consistent within subjects.
