How fast can you train your dogs?

I recently came across this blog about a dog trainer who trained 8 dogs as well as its owners (15 of them) in 5 days. You can read the blog here: [link removed]
I think that is an achievement! How fast can you train your dogs?

Train them what? and to what level
In 5 days I think most of us could train loads of dogs to sit - but longer to sit first time every time in all situations

Train totaly untrained dogs to comp level in a sport? may be impressive but I enjoy the journy not the destination

quick fix bad behaviours? quick fixes break quickly

Ummm I have nervous aggressive dog that Ive been trying to help her whole life, and for just about a month now with proffesional help and things are slow moving.

I have another dog roughly the same age who picks up basic tricks quickly but we need to work on them to cement them.

Theres no hard and fast timescale, it very much depends I feel.

Well it took 30 secs to teach a JRT to stop jumping up & another 45 secs to teach him to run out & touch a target trainer !!!!

All depends what you want to teach your dog & how you do it.

Yes. It depends what you are training them to do.
eg. Sit? Or be a Cadaver dog? (one takes seconds the other takes......a while)
It also depends on the dog.
Some dogs are born half trained.
Some dogs die half trained.
I love them all though.

Has the dog trainer in question written a book or produced a DVD by any chance?

I like that!

You can teach a dog a behaviour in seconds.
To repeat that behaviour with distractions, in all circumstances, takes a long time because the behaviour needs to be ingrained.
It`s like promising to help someone lose weight by fasting and making them sweat for 24 hours. Yes, it works. But it doesn`t last.
I take it this is spam then? Yet another miracle dog guru. Just what we need......

Its from the US, hopefully it'll stay there!
