What's the Problem?

      One of the main problems that I experienced when Cheez-It was training, was that sometimes she just got frustrated and quit. She would sit in the corner and aggressively groom herself. I also noticed that towards the end of our training when she was ready to get out, she would stand on her back legs and push on the window. During the beginning of training and throughout, she had a fascination with the light in the box. She would start to attack/push the night several times and I figured that it was probably a sign of frustration as well as interest in the object. I didn't have trouble with the box until the day before we started extinction part 1. On FR15, at around 21:03 I noticed that the lever stopped dispensing pellets. I couldn’t tell when it stopped dispensing the pellets because when she goes to collect the pellet, she sticks her whole head in which limits the visibility of seeing when the pellets drop. Luckily, since I was starting extinction the next day, I just pulled her out early because she was already showing signs of extinction, she would just sit in the corner and soon after gave up. One of the ways that I could have improved the training was by attending all of the sessions. My partner and I split up training the last week because she was going out of town, so I wasn't present during a few sessions.
