Problems in Training

    As I mentioned in some of the FR Schedules blog posts, I noticed that Queso started to get frustrated as the ratio numbers increased after a certain point. She would bite on the lever, try to push up from the bottom of the lever, hold the lever down, or she would place one hand on top of the lever and one hand on the bottom and rattle it. Sometimes, her rattling it would push the lever down enough that she was rewarded, so maybe she thought that since she was being rewarded, then she kept on doing it.

    I unfortunately could not really find a way to fix this, but looking back, I wish that in those training sessions I would've done all the reinforcement manually. The video is a very short example on what she would do. Sometimes, she would get so frustrated and rattle the lever so much, that she would slip and fall.
