It seems everything is slowly getting better. I think increasing exposure to the skateboarders when they are across the street will help. So you never tried to roll around on a board in front of your dog? Reason why I'm asking is because I'm trying to figure out if your dog is focusing on the boards or the skateboarders. I betcha once your dog sees you on one, he'll be less frightened of the board itself. You don't have to be good on a board, but just roll around back and forth. Keep us updated with your situation!
