Worked with April today. She is a chocolate lab that looks more like a weimeriner (sp?) than anything. She is a rather neurotic dog! According to her owner she ate a plastic dog crate from the inside out! She has a metal one now and it is bent up pretty good. She is kinda hard headed, but overall has a sweet disposition. I am force fetching her and have had her for 4 days. She is going to have a good mouth once she gets "hold" down. She isn't quiet as motivated by food as I would have hoped, but the clicker is going to come out very soon. She will now hold the buck for a short time (15-20 seconds) then decides to drop it. If I can get her to around 30 seconds consistently, then the clicker will start to be used. Once the clicker comes out then some real progress should start to occur. If things hold true she should be done in about a month.
Now, if she would just not bark all night and let us get some sleep we will be doing great!
