Scent Wheel - Day 20

NOTE:  In final preparation before testing sample from Donor 3, we are "over-preparing" Nad.  This week he will work the scent wheel as though he were testing live scent - 1 target shaker, 5 dummies (containing variable); not removing false positives from the wheel; working in sets of 3 twice daily and minimizing the distractions in his working environment.

*1
Lots of distractions: people talking and going in and out, phones ringing, dogs laying next to wheel
When he missed one, I took it out for 1 rep and he was successful after that.
Turned wheel.

*2
Same distractions as *1

I did not click and had him sit for one correct one at first and he went back to it.
When he gets distracted by someone coming in and buffs a little, he still keeps indicating the correct container.

*3
The last 3 sets were done before dinner after a busy day of outings.
Hot in 2, Dummy in rest
Could see him smell the hot container across the wheel.

*4
Hot in 2, Dummies in rest
Distracted by person in other room walking around talking on phone.  Went to see what he was dong once and then missed a couple upon his return.  Dinner time and he feeds them also.

*5
Hot in 2, Dummies in rest
3rd set in a row
Missed 1st rep
Went for water break
