We have been at the IBM Innovations Summer Camp this week, and while the kids were taking a tour of UTD, I stayed in the lab with Dulce. Took some time to work on our indication, and I am going to get someone to take a photo tomorrow as it is beyond freaking cute.<\/p>\n
What I have been wanting is for Dulce to pick up her leash when my blood sugar is high. To make it easier, I\u2019ve tied a know. <\/p>\n
For several sessions she\u2019s been touching the knot, but since before lunch she has been consistently picking it up. In fact this afternoon I started adding my scent as a cue for the pickup and doing some scent discrimination work. She seems to get it.<\/p>\n
It helps that she is extremely operant. It helps that she already knows when my blood sugar is high. Put the two together and it doesn\u2019t take much.<\/p>\n
And yes, I\u2019ve very proud of my smart girl!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
