OK. You have an appointment with a brand-new client. She has owned dogs before, but is not in any way an expert (in her words, "they were all easy"),
and has never done any "formal" training. You will have her for 1 hour only, and then you will never see her
again. She is not going to do any more formal training after you are done, but promises she will work with the dog and will do whatever you tell her to
do. She has use of all her limbs and is fairly sturdy, but is not particularly strong, and the dog is a puller. She has a fenced yard, but it isn't very
big. She currently has no children, but her neighborhood does, and she has not ruled out the possibility for herself one day.
Dog is a pit/lab mix (and looks it), 8 months old, unneutered male. He's sweet and goofy, and a bit pushy/mouthy. He plays OK with other dogs, but like a typical pit/lab. He jumps on everyone. He will sit on command some of the time (in the house only, if she has a treat), but that's it.
What would you do with your hour? In what order? What tools would you recommend (she will use what you suggest)? Remember, you will not see her again.
