Fig. 5 The interaction between treatment (LIGHT, DEEP or CONTROL) and interval on the duration the noise phobic dog (N=28) spent near their owners during the 6-min test. Each interval (pre, noise and recovery) lasted for two minutes. Applied Animal Behaviour Science 2016 185, 86-94DOI: (10.1016/j.applanim.2016.09.003) Copyright © 2016 Elsevier B.V.
