Training the Chain - Day 6/ Hydrated Sample: Day 2

Yesterday we trained Chaining the Alert using 2nd generation sample. See Identifying Scent for record.
For the first time, Raya sniffed and immediately alerted with Bump.
I have hydrated sample (HTT) made from the second original sample from Donor 3 in the refrigerator and clothing sample cut from first original sample in FTT on counter.  I will be testing from both until hydrated sample is no longer viable.  Testing to see how long it lasts.

#1. 4AM
In the kitchen making frozen Kongs. Presented FTT in pocket. X3. Chair. Seated.
#2. 5AM
Standing. Strolling thru FR/hallway. A little slower to alert initially
#3. 330PM
Sample in left pocket. NTT. In living room sitting on green exercise ball. Immediate target and alert
#4. 345PM
 Sample in right pocket. Frozen second generation sample. NTT. In living room sitting on green exercise ball. It took Raya a while to move to my right side. She kept sniffing the left pocket and alerting. I ignored her alerting the residual sent as advised by Rachel and waited for her to find the sample in my right pocket.   Once she moved to my right side  she immediately targeted and alerted.

TRAINER NOTES: I am slightly changing my training protocol when sample is on body.  I am repeating "sniff/alert/C/T" X3, the theory being that the repetition strengthens the process.
#2 I cannot locate record of age of fabric in the narrow TT.  MUST keep better record in one particular location.
