Body Posture during Social Rehabilitation sessions

-Stray Group- Related-Samples Friedman's Test

Figure 16 shows the average percentage of scans in the different body postures at time points 1 (T1), 2 (T10), 3 (T20), 4 (T30) and 5 (T40) for Group C2 and the Stray Group. No dog exhibited an aggressive/threatening posture during the assessments.

Significant differences were found for:

  • fearful (χ2 (4, N = 6) = 18.655, p=0.001), the stray Group had significantly lower percentages in a fearful percentage after 20 days of social rehabilitation compared to the first session.
  • neutral (χ2 (4, N = 6) = 14.800, p=0.005), the stray Group had significantly higher percentages in a neutral percentage after 20 days of social rehabilitation compared to the first session.
  • friendly/calm (χ2 (4, N = 6) = 10.400, p=0.034). Over time, the Stray Group was significantly more friendly/calm
  • No significant differences were found for exuberant/excited body across the five-time points.

Results are presented for Group Control 2 (left) and Group Stray (right). For simplicity only intragroup significance is shown, * p < 0.05.

 

 

Body Posture during Leash Training Sessions

-Stray Group- Related-Samples Friedman's Test

Figure 10 shows the average percentage of scans in the different body postures at time points 1 (T1), 2 (T10), 3 (T20), 4 (T30) and 5 (T40) for the Stray Group. No dog exhibited an aggressive/threatening posture during the assessments. 

  • No significant differences were found across time points for any of body postures for the Stray Group
