ORIGIN of SAMPLE:

COMMENTS:    Introducing dummy scent more slowly  greatly reduced the number of false positives.  "Explaining" again and again that it is the target scent that get rewarded.  Testing the scent in this manner determines that the target scent iS unique and recognizable while teaching the concept to the dog.  However, glass vials w/1 hole is proving more challenging to Lily.

Will return to 1 scent/1 dummy on the wheel.  "This scent that you've been rewarded for".
