Fixed Ratio Schedule: FR5

The goal of this schedule was for Tortellini to press the bar 5 times before receiving a sugar pellet. At first, she would press the bar twice and check the hopper. Then she would press the bar 3 times and check the hopper. At this point she seemed agitated, just like she did when I added another level to her training. As expected, she would bite on the bar and sniff it. Eventually she just kept pressing the lever until she heard a sugar pellet being released. 

I have not encountered any challenged or issues while training Tortellini other than the fact that she becomes uninterested quickly. This session lasted 17.12 minutes before she became bored. When she is uninterested in training, she walks over towards me and just sits in the corner watching me, waiting for me to get her out. Today she pressed the bar 449 times, which is still remarkable.
