The authors wish to make the following corrections to their paper [1]:
In Table 3, arousal was repeated as a row heading at the end—it should have read “friendliness” (see Table 3 below).
Table 3.

In Table 4, there were errors in the behaviours, their method of recording, the interactions and p-values. The new Table 4 is given below.
Table 4.
F/D | Behaviours | Interaction | p-Value |
---|---|---|---|
D | Tense body | Day 1 | 0.001 |
F | Balance/relaxed | Overall | 0.004 |
F | Jumping in kennel | Overall | 0.03 |
D = Duration, F = Frequency.
Scientific results were correctly stated in the text but incorrect in these two tables. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
