Many Containers, Many Distractions

This a good example of why I don't do blind container searches in practice. As Winnie works enthusiastically, she pounces on and bats around the containers. By knowing where the odor is I can minimize the destruction and hopefully get in to reward her before the behavior starts. That is the goal in theory but as you can see that is not how it goes in execution. We have tried many ways to alter, avoid, retrain, you name the method of changing this behavior of mauling the containers to no avail. The result can be faults given in a trial situation but the videos are pure entertainment to me.
