Figure 2

Effect of MPs on FRD’s behavior and the duration spent in each test. a, b, Friendly greeting test % and its time consumed; c, d, Room behavior test % and its time consumed; e, f, Leash manner test % and its time consumed. Data are presented as mean± S.E.M using paired T-test; SPSS, * means significant difference at 0.05 

Figure 3

Effect of MPs on FRD’s behavior and the duration spent in each test. a, b, Look test % and its time consumed; c, d, Sensitivity test % and its time consumed; e, f, Tag test % and its time consumed. Data are presented as mean± S.E.M using paired T-test; SPSS, * means significant difference at 0.05.
