There is some controversy with regards to the length of a dog's memory. It is generally accepted that you have two seconds to praise or correct a dog because this is how long they remember performing an action or behavior.

I have known dogs that acted like they remembered humans they have lived with after a very long separation. The jury is still out, but dogs have a very good memory.
