BASELINE CRITERIA MET:   8/21/13

VIDEOS/COMMENTS:

• I tested the first  set in the morning and the second in the late afternoon.
• last scent work was 7/4/13 so this was done cold with no practice first.  
• It was a new set up using a cheese shaker w/ metal screw on top
• the only normal was that we worked in the same location we have done scenting in the past.   This is not where I normally train behaviors.  The location  is specific to scenting work.
• When I took #6 to the testing area he knew exactly what we were doing and was very much in the game

*1  there was more tongue action then when we last tested 7/4 but I waited  
      for a solid target/station before clicking
*2  minimal licking .. a few tongue flicks only then solid station
*3  no licking solid station
*4  minimal tongue flicks (4)
*5  solid stations
*6  solid stations
