So Flex had his first beginner's class on Saturday. We were required to sit for quite a while during the overview and rules of the class. During this time I worked on Flex's focus on me, clicking when he would sit or laydown and look at me. There were quite a few other dogs their and he was definitely interested in them. Also, he did a great job of allowing other handlers come near him and touch him.
As for the other portion of the class, Flex struggled with focusing on the tasks at hand. We did some targeting work and he acted like he had never seen a target before. In addition we played the "Whiplash Game" and he was completely unable to focus with me behind him. We need to spend some time on working on his trust issues with me.
