Ending a Test

When do we conclude a test?

• When the test meets the Baseline Criteria, of course.

• Because we don't begin having the dog testing live sample until we are confident that she has a thorough understanding of all tests performed on the test wheel, we will consider the scent to not be viable when the dog has completed 3 subsequent sets with an AB of 80% success rate or lower.

Whenever a test is concluded (TC) without meeting the Baseline Criteria, using the current Sample we will re-introduce the test in a teaching model.  If, after completion of the entire scope of re-teaching the test, the SS appears to have a viable, detectable scent, the test may then be repeated.

Repeated tests will be indicated within parenthesis.  i.e.  SS Test I:C (2)

Any test may be repeated once per Sample before it is considered to be not viable for training purposes.
