Baseline Criteria Met: (TC)
*1 - The first rep I positioned the 'hot' container close to where he would come to the wheel
(he indicated: 6/4/6/4/6/6/6/6/6/6)
*2 - Again, the first rep I positioned the 'hot' container close to where he would come to the wheel
(he indicated: 6/6/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3)
*3 - This time, I did not position the 'hot' container close to where he would come to the wheel
(he indicated: 5/3/6/3/3 - then I stopped as I didn't want Nad to get frustrated).
NOTE:
It appears that the sample is no longer viable since Nad had accurately indicated previously with the original saliva sample with gauze variables. (Saliva HP Test V:C (BCM) 12/23/12 Day 6 of sample) Today the sample is 15 days old. We did not previously test him on saliva seizure sample with non-seizure saliva sample as the non-seizure saliva sample was contaminated.
When we tested the HP saliva sample with another person's non-seizure saliva sample (HP Saliva Test V:D), Nad could not indicate the HP saliva seizure sample, so we were re-testing to see if that TC was due to sample viability or dog skill.
Before determining that HP Saliva Sample 1 is no longer viable, tomorrow we will hydrate the sample by spritzing with distilled water to see if the hydration enhances the scent enough for Nad to identify it.
