We had our first session with the trainer, on Saturday, in the park. It went well, no out bursts at people, unless they had dogs. The other thing that triggered him, was narrow areas, where he felt trapped. Like a bridge, or areas of the path that had no apparent escape route.
Also we have two assignments...
#1. Learn to make eye contact with Mum, on a one word command. Going pretty well...
#2. Have people we know come to visit, and give a treat for "not going off like a rocket". So far so good. Few explosions since Sat.(but we have stayed away from target rich environments)

So we are practicing "LOOK" at Mum, and the little beggar has started looking around, to see what I am trying to distract him from! lol Smartie pants!
