Order-specific effect of condition on performance improvement (mean + /- SE). Performance improvement (= retest-test performance) occurred in case of those dogs that had a permissive condition on occasion 3. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01. The percentage value was calculated by subtracting the retest performance percentage from the test performance percentage. The diagonal pattern indicates a subsample of dogs (n = 12) that had a controlling training on their first session and a permissive training on the second. The “plain” bars indicate the other subsample of dogs (n = 12) that had a permissive training on their first session and a controlling training on the second.
