Dog Color Preference Experiment

Lay out 5 different pieces of paper, mats, etc: purple, lime green, pink, yellow and orange. Put a little treat on each piece of paper. Hold the dog about 5 feet away, then tell her to go ahead and get the treat. See which paper she goes to first. Rearrange the row of papers, repeat 6 times, rearranging the order of the colored papers each time.
