I have no doubt that he will come along in your capable hands and with his aptitude for training having competed in other areas.
Indoors vs outdoors was my next question. Was this evaluation done outdoors and is competition always outdoors? My boys are fine indoors with a bunch of dogs, but outdoors they listen only to what they have to. They aren't treat or toy driven outdoors like Razzle and Magic. I could dangle an entire chicken in front of them and they wouldn't care. The boys do just enough to prevent their walks/outings from ending early. They also respond to fear in my voice in emergency situations, but not toys or treats.
