Since we're talking about traits that can be enhanced, that would leave a trait a dog doesn't have out of the discussion. In my own experience, a dog is either a finishing type dog or not. If he's not, then obviously you can't enhance something that's not there. If the dog IS a finisher, of course you can enhance and make him that much more eager to finish when he gets his spot.
