Hi there...depends on the rabbit ability to understand the behaviour being asked of him/her and how well the trainer can exercise the ability to convey what is expect of the animal. The exercise can be achieved within a day to two days with two to five short training sessions throughout the day.





Here is a clicker training website which demonstrates how animals learn quickly: http://www.clickertraining.com/node/306 The technique employed is called ';operant conditioning'; where the animal learns to do the behaviour on it's own (operator) to be conditioned for a reward (clicked - food).
