I've been working with Eddie hard trying to teach him some new tricks before the Pet Idol finals on Saturday, and I'm noticing he has a short attention span. If work with him for 5 minutes, he is generally pretty sharp. From 5-10 minutes, I start to lose him. More than that, and I might as well quit.

Has anyone else noticed that their Yorkie has a short attention span when you're trying to work on a difficult lesson? How about at obedience training? Does your pup keep its focus for the whole class?
