Table 1. Relevant variables describing the characteristics of dogs' paths and variables extracted from the returning event analysis for each subject (Vizslas; V1 to V5 and the mixed-breed dog; M).

Distance from the owner (m) | 10.3±4.2 | 16.9±4.0 | 20.2±5.3 | 9.0±2.4 | 23.3±6.5 | 13.7±4.4 |
Distance from dogs (m) | 16.0±3.3 | 17.0±1.4 | 18.1±2.6 | 15.9±3.7 | 19.9±2.6 | 19.0±3.6 |
Time period of the returns (s) | 52±47 | 52±47 | 40±37 | 75±74 | 52±49 | 108±94 |
Loop length (m) | 16±16 | 20±14 | 20±17 | 12±10 | 24±21 | 22±20 |
Far-from-owner ratio | 0.45±0.17 | 0.56±0.07 | 0.50±0.12 | 0.56±0.06 | 0.54±0.08 | 0.59±0.11 |
For each variable, averages over the walks and standard deviations between the walks are shown (Mean ± SD), except for time period of the returns and loop length, where the SD of all data is indicated. See more details in Text S1.
