Fixed Ratio Schedule: FR7

The goal of today's training session was for Tortellini to press the bar 7 times in order to receive a treat. This session was very similar to her session training on FR5, except she lost interest even quicker this time and she exhibited more aggression. Tortellini has begun to place one of her paws on the side of the box in order to gain some leverage to press the bar (shown in video). She also shows a lot more movement around the bar in comparison to when she only had to press it once for a reward. I have noticed on her cumulative records that she tends to press the bar a lot in the beginning, thus receive a lot of treats early on during the session. I am wondering if she becomes satiated due to the fast rate and frequency she is receiving sugar pellets. Today Tortellini only trained for 15.07 minutes; however, in that short amount of time she pressed the bar 664 times. This is by far the most bar presses Tortellini has performed yet.
