Step Four of the Down Revisited

Five minutes, six seconds for fifteen downs with the command as he did it.

Then about fifteen more with the command coming first.

He’s still almighty slow to respond. Clear he doesn’t like it. And there were several crawls to the treat.

I guess I’ll move on to the next step which involves counting out treats and then timing how long it takes to use them up, saying the command first and waiting to click until he does it. The goal is to get the dog’s average time down to less than 8 seconds per treat. I’m thinking this one could take a while.
