How many reps do you usually do of a given exercise? You said she is on a variable reward ratio, should she be for those exercises? I'm not sure that's why I'm asking.
10 months is still pretty mentally immature. Are you asking too much since she is a smart bright girl?
Play should be a constant part of your training. Don't wait for her to get bored to bring on the fun. Especially with a young rottie.
If I was doing 10 minutes of training I might do 3 minutes of play during that session. Play and training should be always be mixed together continually throughout a session.
I curious if she is slow to respond to your cues when she is "talking".
If I was you when she started talking I would say "too bad, no cookie for you." and end the exercise. I might also turn away and ignore her when she does it. As soon as you break off the exercise, set her up again and restart it.
