If I understand correctly, I can go in the kitchen (no distractions) for about 10 mins of training, on down, sit, down, sit (for example). And until my lil pitbull puppy has got it down to 15-20 times per minute with no error, we add some distractions? Of course all pets are different so should I sample different snacks to get the right amount of "attention"? Love your comments (especially on Palin).
