10 weeks is not long enough. You need to expect at LEAST a year of training for an adult dog, two for a baby.
In ten weeks Mario has finished his basic obedience and is part way into advanced obedience. He is no where near done. I expect his training to take 18 months or so. He has not really begun the hard stuff yet such as distraction training and task training.

He is doing great however!
