*1
*Newly washed cans - noticed that Nad really smelled each one.
Started with just the Hot in 1
Then quickly added more decoys till got to all containers filled



*2
one tossed treat went into a can on the wheel which I didn't realize at first causing Nad to spend more time on that can which i did not count as an incorrect indicator.  It was corrected as soon as i removed the treat.




*3
When Nad incorrectly indicated, i forgot to reset him, however, I did give him the release cue ('go') again.


*4



*5
Nad stopped to get a drink of water - he had just come in from outside before the session.
On rep 6, he paused just a little on an incorrect container and I didn't think he was indicating, so then he went to the correct container and I made sure by getting more duration.


*6
Nad incorrectly marked the first rep. Reset him and went on with total success after that.

  1. Tea Bag Test I:D
    scent wheel full w/donor non-event saliva sample

    non-event saliva sample means "the same but without scent"

    Because its a tea bag, we will use Earl Grey as the target, another kind of tea as the variable (you will need 5)
    I'd suggest a flavored herbal tea if you have one in your pantry.

    Nad has tested with variable before, but not a non-event sample as a variable so begin "teaching" him from the beginning

    Session 1
    Set 1: begin with just the new target (Sample 2)
    Set 2: t add a single dummy containing the variable
    how you go depends on Nad
    we are explaining to him that he is still finding the target
    same as adding any other variable
    Set 3: depends on Nad
    either a repeat of Set 2
    OR
    add a second dummy

    Session 2
    Sets 1 - 3
    continue adding variable dummies
