I think they can sense  your moods. I think they definitely know the difference between stressed and calm. I have a lab and golden cross. He is six.

If the person who trained you is your trainer, they will look to that person for a while, but you will start to see a switch over in a few days.  When you take that dog home, I think the bonding increases because now it has left all it knows behind except you, so it trusts you.  You will have work to do to become a solid team, but your dog and you will have already begun a strong bonding that will only get stronger.  I think the key is a lot of attention, especially at first and mostly from you, corrections when you have to, and lots of praise when the dog does something right and well.
