I do know one thing, though. Millie does not seem to get a "trick" that I am teaching her the 1st time I am teaching her. I will drop it and go about my business. The very next day when I set up to train her, she will have miraculously some how learned the trick absolutely perfect between the last time we worked on it and the next time we work on it! As if it came to her thru osmosis or something.

She does this every single time.

Interesting comments, everybody. The poll confirms my experience.

And Ladylavender, your teaching techniques are actually a proven method. A dog trainer recently told me three 5-minute sessions a day are better than one one-hour session. I've found that to be true, and it's so cool, as you say, when you pick it up the next day and they are better than the day before.

And Izzy Princess, I want Izzy! That's a great attention span.
