Tuesday we went to Rachel's again for Flash's weekly group lesson. This time there were more people and dogs, eight altogether counting us. I think Flash did pretty well, although he wanted to eat the puppy that was there. I managed to hold on to him when he lurched forward to get the puppy. Otherwise, Flash did all of the exercises well.
Now we are working on extending the distance I can go away from him while he is in a sit/stay or down/stay. Tonight I practiced with him and was able to go all the way across the back yard--more than the required 20 feet, I think.
What makes Flash so easy to train is his intelligence, of course, but also his memory. He retains everything he is taught once he "gets it."
