Overall, yes he was quite easy to train, but he's not always quick to learn. He learns some commands after a few tries. Others require a lot more repetition. Cooper has a very long attention span when there are treats involved, so even if we need to practice a command 50 - 100 times, he will happily do it 50 - 100 times in a row with no breaks. This means that he can learn many tricks within 10 - 15 minutes. You could say that he's a "fast learner" since he can normally learn tricks within a short timespan, but the number of repetitions is not always low. The tricks that required the most practice and repetitions were: "where's your tongue" and "beg" (he couldn't balance at first!).
