Haha. I don't know any other owner/trainer who works that long training a dog - certainly not me. Wow! I bet Chaser now sees it all as fun work rather than anything boring. But beginning and "continuing education" training sessions I have always kept very short to 3 -5 minute sessions a few times a day to keep the dog attention from wandering. But as Chaser's owner is a retired psychology prof and interested in investigating dog's mental abilities, he seems very dedicated to his and Chaser's mission to show the world how smart dogs can be.
Besides being a smarty-pants, Chaser is a cutiepie, too. Sweet dog smile on his face!
