One test that I heard they did was to put a bowl of food on the floor and cover it with a towel. They then timed how long it would take the dog to find the food. Not much of a test. Some dogs have been trained to stay away from others food. How hungry was the dog They are trying to take the dogs mind and make it suite or mind.
