LLW and fear

Perhaps they have to be treated as too separate things? We've got the reactiveness to traffic on the road and the LLW. I've seen progress session on session in being calm when we go out on the front step and just sit and lie there on the blanket. He's got so much better and we can get down the steps to outside the house. When I add LLW on top of that it falls to pieces, so it seems like it is too much.

He is better at LLW when we go out of the side door and sort of slide onto the street. So that's something positive to work on. We had a little session getting in and out of the new car yesterday, so that was also good. Perhaps round my house is just far too busy so the best option might be for me to take him on a short drive to a quiet place like a car park and work round that. I won't jump straight back in to drive = offlead running.

We've had a carpenter in the house all week taking windows out and generally banging around. He was scared of dogs and Grey was scared of him and all the banging. So unfortunately there was a lot of barking at the beginning of the week. But by the end of the week, they were in the same room together. grey was wagging lots and then also calming down.
