| Might want to consider switching rewards, angellove.
A reward is something small and immediate. It really shouldn't take them "time" to eat it.
I use fat-free Turkey franks cut into nickle size pieces and then cut in half.
It's not the size of the reward that counts most; but rather consistancy of the reward in the program.
Depending how long you've been imprinting the down command; it might be wise to start introducing corrections into your obedience.
However; I caution against doing this unless you know how to give an appropriate correction. If you're unsure; then please consider taking an Obedience course to learn the technique.
