The dogs were with standard cognitive testing canine, including: work object discrimination, visual search task and a visual-spatial memory task.

treatment groups outperformed control groups in all three tasks, visual search learning tasks and reached statistical significance. The study team, led by Bill Milgram, Ph.D. completed, â?
