Thank you very much for answering my questions! I know there is a lot going on! I wish I had really solidified his heel as a young pup, but I transitioned to the prong early. Otherwise, he is off-leash! He loves his freedom LOL! I would like to also get him into competition obedience, so we are going square one with heeling. I will be using hamburgers. NO LIE.

I have a question. I am not very far into the Service dog training problem, but I already have had a BBQ problem. My Border Collie has LOTS of human friends who want to interact with him when even they see him. This has caused a problem when going thru my CGC class. I can get him to distract the stranger meeting , however I can’t figure out how to allow him to contact his REAL friends. Right now I have been using the term GREET when I need to make sure the friends don’t distract him too far. It is very difficult for him to comply with this task and I need to know should I have a release word to allow him more movement? I might add he is VERY HANDSOME to all which adds to this problem,

In an ideal world, it sounds like your pup needs to spend some time not interacting with your friends, and instead, have your friends ignore your dog while you practice your neutrality skills. If you need to allow them to greet, I would take the vest off and have a release cue to greet friends. It's really important that your dog spends more time *not greeting* anyone than greeting everyone they come across. Hopefully your friends will be understanding and can help you train.
