Maybe it's just that particular breed of dog used in the experiment (border collie), or even that specific dog. Even the paper title cites a singular dog.
The paper 'Word Generalization by a Dog (Canis Familiaris); is Shape Important?' by Emile van der Zee, Helen Zulch and Daniel Mills is published in PLOS ONE on 21st November 2012 and is available at: http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0049382* http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0049382*

Now, I would love to read a rebuttal/confirmation study over a larger population and/or varying dog breeds and I think you just stumbled upon an great idea for a research paper.
- varikin 14y agoI think it said that they are planning on testing more breeds as well.
