On the other hand, dogs that found the treat, regardless of group, spent more time moving around the room than those that did not find the treat. It is possible that these dogs were actively searching for the food more than those that did not find the treat, although general movement did not differ between groups. Perhaps some dogs are more likely than others to search for a hidden item if given encouragement by their owners, and the presence of a visual cue such as a food bowl in a mirror may increase searching behaviors in these dogs. This provides evidence for a final interpretation of these findings: some dogs, irrespective of scent or visual cues, may be more highly motivated and/or have greater capacity to recall that a treat has been placed in a room for them to find. Future research that explores how long certain breeds or individuals are capable of retaining this sort of information will likely shed further light on this issue.
