VIDEOS/COMMENTS:
The clove is really pungent.  With the other scents after three days they were noticeably weaker.  The clove seems to loose little of its strength.  #6 had no problems with the scent.  I tested first in the late morning and last in the early evening.  I haven't tested at night before, after dinner when the dogs were tired from a day of activity.  It doesn't seem to make a difference.  Dog 6 really seems to look forward to these sessions.  These sessions had shakers in all the cans and Q tips in all the shakers.  

*1  I rotated the wheel after each find, had dog 6 sit between finds while I rotated the wheel.
*2  I rotated the wheel after each find sending dog 6 from the room after each find before I changed cans or 
     rotated the wheel
*3  I sent the dog from the room and rotated the wheel after each find.
*4  I did not rotate the wheel or sent the dog from the room but did have him sit as I changed the target from one 
     can to the next
*5  After each find I sent the dog from the room before I rotated the wheel
*6  I rotated the wheel after each find and sent the dog from the room when I changed cans.
