Saturday, when doing interior searches using a red NW plastic box, on one occasion Lily picked up the box and retrieved it. So today we worked primarily RRRing the extended chin/nose indicating alert behavior.
Yesterday we reviewed the behavior using the NW box. Today we went smaller, beginning with a single scent pot. The odor (Cleary Sage) is in the small tin and the tin is placed inside of the scent pot.
Session 1: Chin alert to the scent pot w/o picking it up
- 5 reps each location
- on the hearth
- on the floor
- on the coffee table
- we did another session on the floor under the coffee table but, once again, the white chair blocked video
Session 2: Chin alert to the tin w/o picking it up
- 5 reps each location
- on the hearth
- on the floor
- on the coffee table
- under the coffee table (not seen)
- in this location Lily put her teeth on the tin (easily heard) and twice picked it up and moved it a small bit
- so we worked longer on not moving the tin
Session 3: Explaining how to indicate when the cone is placed over the scent pot (Lily watches me place the cone over the scent pot)
- more than 5 reps
- we bungee back to the tin alone to clarify the explanation
- explaining that she is to chin/nose indicate w/o moving the cone to get to the scent pot
Session 4: Another session explaining to indicate the cone when the odor comes from within/under
Session 5: Reviewing indicating on the tin w/o picking it up
- 5 reps
- on the hearth
Session 6: Hiding the tin under the tambourine
- showing Lily the hide
- accepting a chin indicator on the tambouring OR
- a nose indicator in front of the tambourine this time around
- gave Lily permission to step on the hearth in order to indicate on the tambourine
- "Reward at the Source" helps the explanation
Session 7: Indicating the tin under the tambourine
- First, 5 reps of chin target on the tin alone
- Then 10 reps indicating the tambourine
- getting more chin indications this time
Session 8: Chin indicators
- 5 reps on the tin alone: 100%
- 5 reps on the tambouring: 100 %
- Lily watched as I placed the tambourine over the tin
Session 9: Review of Chin Indicator w/o Picking It Up
