This article is fascinating. The conflict in every trainer of a dog is, When am I fantasizing about this dog's temperament? When am I realistic? When am I too optimistic? When am I too pessimistic? When do I continue...or give up? How can I alter a genetic temperament issue?
Trainers who have a narrow timeframe to complete training in a Hearing Dog have less leeway than someone self-training a dog, but all the same issues come into play.
Susan Garrett is an intense, dedicated person, and I think she could bend spoons (or dogs) with her mind.
