Table 3.

Descriptive statistics of baseline and treatment. Longest time alone without problem behavior (PB) exceeded highest criteria completed as it took owners a second or more to return once the contingency was met and dogs in differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) did not always immediately emit the target behavior immediately. Conditional probability is the probability that a dog would exhibit PB on a subsequent trial if it had exhibited PB on the previous trial; this is despite the subsequent trial having lower criteria than the first trial when the dog exhibited PB.

Dog	Latency to PB (Baseline)	Number of Treatment Trials	Highest Criteria Completed	Longest Time Alone without PB	Percentage Successful Trials	Conditional Probability of PB
