Blizzard was actually being a trooper during her magazine training and it only took her 5 minutes. Dr. Trench was the one who told us it took her this long, now she may not remember, but I remember how well Blizzard did. We knew she was magazine trained when we would deliver a pellet and she was on the other side of the box and would return to where the food was at. She was able to do this a few times and did it on the first try. Her behavior was more exploratory at first as if she was trying to get used to the box and see what was all in it. She did though seem to get a good understanding of where the food was being delivered, so she always knew where to go. I do believe this was similar to the magazine training we discussed in class the only difference with a lot of people would be how long it took for them to get used to it.
