There was a 5 min break between scenarios, during which the test dog was allowed to run unleashed in the evaluation area. All dogs, including the fake and the real dog, wore a martingale collar attached to a 2 m leash. The real stimulus dog was monitored closely for any signs of stress or exhaustion, at which point testing stopped and continued on a different day. The testing was stopped three times due to stimulus dog exhaustion, resulting in a total of 3 testing days.
