Table 4.

Mean percentage of “Come” and “Sit” commands (± SE) obeyed after a single signal, obeyed after multiple signals (Obey+) or not obeyed for dogs trained with E-collars and the two control groups.

Percentage	Mean ± Standard Error of commands given			F-Ratio from GLM
	E-Collar	Control 1	Control 2
% Obey Come	71.0 ± 3.2a	72.4 ± 2.7a	82.5 ± 2.3b	F(2, 114) = 4.46, P = 0.015
% Obey+ Come	26.3 ± 2.8a	24.4 ± 2.4a	15.4 ± 2.2b	F(2, 114) = 4.33, P = 0.017
% Disobey Come	2.7 ± 0.1	3.2 ± 0.01	2.1 ± 0.01	F(2, 114) = 0.66, P = 0.52
% Obey Sit	76.8 ± 2.8a	72.7 ± 2.7a	83.5 ± 3.2b	F(2, 114) = 3.49, P = 0.036
% Obey+ Sit	18.9 ± 2.0a	21.9 ± 2.1a	10.6 ± 2.1b	F(2, 114) = 6.69, P = 0.002
% Disobey Sit	4.4 ± 0.2	5.4 ± 0.2	3.7 ± 0.1	F(2, 114) = 0.36, P = 0.70

Different subscripts (a and b) indicate where training groups differed based on Tukey pair-wise comparisons.
