I don't believe anyone can properly size up a dog on a first meeting or lesson. That is why some adoptions or purchases don't work out, because people make snap decisions without spending more time getting to know a dog, breed, or breeding program.
There are so many facets to any dog and it take time to tease out the potential of each dog.
In my opinion, none of this sizing up is done in most board and train situations. Every dog is put through the assembly line and made to do whatever was promised in a couple of weeks, come hell or high water. I just don't think that is fair to any dog.
Plan accordingly.
