It helps that when I first got her, the ex shipped out for a 8 month-er a week later. I was bored, by myself, in an unfamiliar area and worked 6 hours 5 days a week. Not a lot to do. Most of the basic ones we cranked out in the first month or two. She's 6 almost 7 now and has "forgotten" a few so we're retraining. It's an easy way to make her work for her treats, we don't like just handing over food. Moves us down in pack status. If I manage to get a video of her doing her tricks, I'll totally post it.
