In the first part of the test, five dogs were rewarded with a piece of sausage for copying their owners' actions. The other five were rewarded with food for not copying, and using other methods. With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds of times, and the time taken for a dog to get it “right” on 85 percent of attempts (17 goes out of 20) was recorded. The dogs encouraged to mirror their owners reached this point almost three times sooner, on average, than those rewarded for not copying them.

In the second part of the test, all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the method their owners used. The five dogs previously rewarded for copying their owners reached the 85 percent mark more than twice as quickly as the other five.

Caroline Kisko, from the Kennel Club, said: “A dog's behavior is influenced much like that of a child; learning right from wrong and adopting similar patterns of behavior.
