With my pups, I had them doing 8-10min at 7mo
Now at 16mo it's seemingly indefinate and under any weather condition(haven't tested heavy snow but have training during a minor hail storm). I can walk out of sight (another person watching for me) for 20-25min (haven't tested any longer)
I started with immediate release, 15sec, 25sec, 45sec, 1min - all in the same week. Then I platzed him until he failed which about 1:30-2:00min. Then I went to a bunch of short success session with a few longer ones in between.
After you get to 3 then comes 5 10 15 25 etc
