BASELINE CRITERIA MET:  (Date)

*1
All dummy containers were clean (freshly washed)
Kept distractions at a minimum - other dogs outside
Nad usually indicated incorrectly to #6

*2

*3
Nad incorrectly indicated to multiple numbers

*4
All shakers were out of refrigerator for 23 minutes prior to second session.  The last 15-18 minutes I had them in the sun inside the house.
This time when Nad would incorrectly indicate, i would reset him and give him a chest scratch and tell him he was a good boy.  I didn't want him to feel he wasn't doing well.

*5

*6
Nad was a little distracted for a bit as someone was walking around in the room next to the kitchen and still managed to get 100%.
