Barbara - I'm unsure if the accepted time lapse is as short as three seconds, but commonsense might tell me that if the dog gets rewarded with that which lasts a good length of time, their intelligence will kick in and they will know, at least in the initial period of time, just why they got what they got at that moment. So Taylor gets rewarded with something he runs off with and eats or nibbles at his leisure. He knows he got it because he followed a command or whatever. And he'll do the same next time.
