Fig. 2. Performance for Buster during Pre-Training Period and Training Period for the addition of the non-target oils. The dashed horizontal line indicates the 0.85 training criterion for accuracy. Each session represents the average performance for 20 trials. The change in reinforcement schedule for correct rejections (i.e., all clear responses) was adjusted after the addition of Padre tar ball when performance declined (session 9). The red vertical line indicated when the reinforcement schedule for correct rejections was adjusted from 1 to 0.5. The blue vertical line indicated when the reinforcement schedule for correct rejections was adjusted from 0.5 to 0. After this point, the reinforcement schedule for correct rejections was 0 for Buster only.

... Though only one canine was used, the researchers found that she was able to detect the different variations of otter scat from only being trained on captive otter scat, while successfully ignoring other mammal scat [16]. DeChant et al. [17] studied oil-specific discrimination in detector dogs to determine whether dogs trained on fresh crude oil could successfully discriminate against weathered oils for the purpose of assisting in oil response on shorelines. Three canines were trained on a fresh sample and tested on the fresh and four weathered oil samples resulting in the dogs ignoring the weathered samples and alerting to the fresh samples. ...
