Works splendidly. You only really have to think about it for the first four to six weeks. Then, if you've been doing it right, it just becomes the new routine. (There's another principle/method called "Premack" that is like advanced NILIF.) We have a very quiet household because of daily running and NILIF. Camping, not so much. I tend to slack and let them get away with reinforcing bad habits. But knowing that fact is half the battle, right?

haha Very true.
My pup is 8 weeks. She still doesn't know her name or really come to us for attention. I have only had her for 2 days now. Should I wait on this or should I start this now? I want to make sure I get her trained properly.

Absolutely! I really need to write up my own sticky note on it. I recommend it to ALL dog owners (including my mother who just adopted a new dog and she's owned dogs her whole life- LOL). It's SO easy to do and makes SUCH a difference!
Kudos for finding it on your own
EDIT: Start it right now... it's never too early

Yes - NILIF works very well for our dog. Also go to www.dogstardaily.com for loads of free highly qualified training advise
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.
