I had one I trained that wouldn't pick up a biscuit when he brought her to me. It took me about 5 weeks to get her through FF and then I just started throwing her a few short bumpers and made her pick them up. Before long she was retrieving and had tons of drive. She was 3 1/2 when I got her. She got her started title about a month ago. This dog is one of the best marking dogs I have ever worked with. She is a Rascal/Maggie pup out of my first litter and the reason I took her in.
