The duration of the ownership, daily duration of time spent with dogs, age of the dogs, dog’s sex, (M, male and assigned as 1. F, female and assigned as 2) dog’s body weight were attribute data from the participating dogs, and owners. Dog’s gazing time to the owner, owner’s gaze time to the dog, touching were behavioral responses observed in the Control/Stress sessions. Bold characters indicates the significant influences on the correlation of coefficients of dog and owner’s HRV parameters.
