Using re-orientation skills in everyday life

I just wanted to know how often I have to re-orient Tyler in everyday life, so I decided to watch him closely this morning when we were at the shopping centre.  Tyler is my mobility service dog. 

1, Getting out of car - no problem

2, Walking in parking lot - no problem

3, Entering the shopping centre - no problem

4, Walking past stores - Tyler was interested, he looked in the stores but as soon as I said "Tyler watch me"  he turned to me. I clicked and treated.

5, Walking past kids, adults, strollers, wheelchairs - no problem

6, Walked past a guide dog being trained - no problem, Tyler looked at him and looked at me and just walked past him - I clicked and treated

The next week or so  I will continue evaluating Tyler in different environment.
