Are some dogs just untrainable?
My boss asked me to train her Yorkie. They got it free from a family in an apartment. The little shit is 5 months, always running around, humping and yapping. I agreed to come teach commands maybe twice a week, but she also wants me to "teach" it to potty on a pad in the bathroom (these are hour sessions). She told me she has no time to do any training herself. Great.
Anyways, it took 3 sessions just to get it to start sitting. It has zero focus and is so small and fast its like trying to train a hamster.
Is there any hope?

>twice a week
there's your problem. training needs to happen every day, even multiple times a day. it's also better to tire the dog out before training.

Not true at all. You want a full energy and receptive dog to train.

that's also not entirely true. you wouldn't want a dog that's completely exhausted from exercise, but also not a dog that's practically bouncing of the walls. you need to find a middle ground.

if she "doesn't have time" training probably wont work. you can begin teaching a behaviour with training sessions, but unless you reinforce that in the daily life of the dog, you wont get any progress at all. If your boss wants to see results, tell her thing she should or shouldn't do to train her dog. (for example don't feed your dog table scraps and let him wait for his food to get a dog that doesn't beg for food all the time)
