BASELINE CRITERIA MET: 9/29/2013

VIDEOS/COMMENTS:
I was interested in this test because the scent was 6 days old.  I haven't used a sample 
 that old before.  It is the first time I have used a purchased essential oil.  As the test showed, there was not problem.  I tested in the morning and early evening. There were Q tips in all the shakers. 

*1  The scent remained in position #4 but the wheel was turned after each find.  Dog 6 stayed by the wheel.
*2  I alternated switching the shaker between position #1 and #3 and turned the wheel after each find. When I 
     switched to the next position I sent Dog 6 from the room and did not turn the wheel.
*3  I kept the scent in position #6, sent the dog from the room after each find, and turned the wheel.
*4  I kept the scent in different positions for different #s of finds, turning the wheel after each find, sent the dog 
     from the room at the change of position but placed the previous position directly in front of the dog when he
     returned to the room for the next find in the new position.
     it when I changed the position
*5  I alternated #5 and #6 as the cans were right next to each other, sent the dog from the room after each find 
     but only turned the wheel after each second find.
*6  alternated between positions #5 and #1 with two finds in each position. dog stayed in the room and wheel 
     was turned after each find.
