Today I began moving the scent shaker into different cans as well as rotating the wheel.  Slowly I increased the number of shakers I put in the can.  On the second set when I added the second shaker he went directly to the new shaker but it was obvious that he wasn't scenting.  I backed up gave him the scent in hand in the beginning and he did well after that.  He really had to concentrate as I added additional shakers and changed cans.  I want to back up and spend more time with this activity.

What I have been doing so far is straight forward without many changes.
Today I only increased the number of containers to 6.  Rooster confidently found the shaker with the scent.  He also moved around the wheel and did not try to step on or across to reach the can on the other side.  On Wednesday he did not seem to want to cross in front of me but today he went in either direction moving in front of me as needed.  Tomorrow I will begin moving the shakers in the cans.

Gradually I am starting to add empty containers to the cans.  As I have done this I am noticing that Rooster is paying closer attention to scent.
