FR SCHEDULES 2-5

 FR 2

*This is a video of Cheez-It doing FR1 

On September 18^th, 2022, we started training Cheez-It on FR2. She was in the box for a total of 30 minutes. She ended up receiving a total of 123 pellets and pressed the lever 263 times. This is including the time in total with the day we started her on FR2 and moved up to FR3. Like I have said previously, whenever she gets upset, she starts aggressively grooming herself. She did this a few times, but she was more fascinated with the light about the lever and smelling it. Our training schedule allowed her not to have two days off in a row which I think helped her in the long run, with moving through different responses. 

FR 3

On September 20^th, 2022, we started training Cheez-It on FR3 after we completed a few minutes of FR2. In FR3 Cheez-It received 88 pellets with 273 lever presses in 20 minutes and 20 seconds. At this point, we pulled her out, because as previously stated on this day we started her on FR2, because she had an off day the night before. She still showed signs of being fascinated with the light and continuing not to bear her full weight on the lever, so we had to help her out sometimes by dispensing pellets through the hand switch. 

FR 5 

On September 22^nd, 2022, we started training Cheez-it on FR5. Cheez-It received around 92 pellets and pressed the lever 463 times. For FR5 Day 1, she trained for 24 minutes and 54 seconds. There were times during FR5 where Cheez-It would continually press the lever, which was beginning to become quite impressive. Cheez-It did stay on FR2 for two days, but I was only there for the first day, because my partner trained Cheez-It for a few days by herself due to her being absent for the last of training, so she was making the missed days up. During Day 1 Cheez-it did exceptionally well and didn’t have many times where she aggressively groomed herself.
