Our next test was to observe how hard it was to re-orient Tyler in a pet store when approaching dogs and cats.
Approaching dogs in another room with glass partition between us and the other dogs - no problem. Tyler was able to refocus and look at me when I said "Tyler watch me"
Sitting and watching another dog walk down the aisle - no problem as long as the other dog was at least 6 feet away
Sitting while another dog walked past us - was hard to refocus Tyler on me. However if the other dog was a guide dog than Tyler just watched him and turned to me when I said "Tyler watch me" I think the other dog's behaviour influences Tyler's reaction
Apporaching cats in another room with glass partition between us and the cats - Tyler had trouble focusing on me when I said "Tyler watch me" He just couldn't take his eyes off the cats. He sat there very nicely but definatly wanted to keep an eye on those cats :)
