Humm that would maybe work for a normal dog but for a reactive one we be in over our heads inside that three seconds... still wishing to see it though.

As for the turning around thing what it does is increases the distance between the trigger and the dog so barking behaviour is not reinforced and I tend to do that more then get close. So what I am gleening.. learning is she doing the standard resoicalization stuff used in postive. Cool name for it.
