COMMENTS:  This is the first testing run via modified protocol determined as a result of 2012 Workshop.  Former Tests A and B are now classified as Intro A and B.  Only one session is required of each before beginning Test C, although a second session of B is optional.  This sample will be a good test of the modified protocol, since the odor is new to the testing dog.

*5  Data Collection Error on *5 and *6.
You can tell that I am out of practice.  I failed to record on which containers Lily made the False Positive.  Will try to determine the container # by rewatching the videos.

*6  The final rep of this set Lily indicated a False Positive and, instead of calling her off of the wheel I let her continue and she found and indicated the target odor.  This was a case of Trainer Ego but it is obvious on the video that she was indicating a False Positive.  Once again, the neutral eyes of the video are vital to the validity of this testing.

Because of the two 90% in this session I am going to exercise the option of the second B session but will not run the test until the morning.  This is the first time that Lily has been asked to find and indicate to live biological scent since August 2012 when she was withdrawn from testing seizure scent.  Under no circumstances am I going to put her at risk.  I will not test more than two sessions per day, no matter what the age of the sample.
