I think Boone is doing real good. He has more stimulation in 10 minutes than he gets all day when y’all go to town. Good boy.
Thanks for your input. I was really feeling concerned and defeated that he was going to suddenly become dog aggressive as he matures and I would be forced to wash him out for his own protectionI think Boone is doing real good.

God bless you guys. You have no idea how much your thoughts reassure me. It really helps that you think we can do this and that I’m on the right trackI absolutely LOVE what you did with the jerk (Don't Touch My Dog). LOVE it tens times and over more. You showed Boone that you have his back - that is HUGE.
I get where you're coming from with the other idiot dogs - you handled it perfectly, and Boone saw that too.
Definitely what @Baymule said as well!
You're doing great - biggest tip I can give you is "don't carry the angst from previous things" just be ready for things so you react properly (which you are). In herding I tell my students you made the correction - it's done, leave it where it happened. RELAX --- works every time.
