Linda,
It sounds like your class has a very wide range of trainees! When we had a lot of dogs in our class we felt like Ace was getting passed over because he was being good and doing the commands and the trainer focused on the dogs with the behaviors. I know that she needed to spend time with them but.. Plus there were a few bigger dogs and for some reason Ace just doesn't like bigger dogs. When we tried to get him to socialize with them he would whine and hide behind us. So we switched to a smaller class and it worked better for us and Ace. Ace is pretty good at the leave it command when we toss a treat by him but when the treat is right in front of his nose it is a lot harder! It just takes practice. Self control is tough!!
Good luck on your next two classes.
