He tied up with the pole most of the time because he was very reactive (excited).
Although there were a lot of very experienced people, I did not feel comfortable walking him around there, because if he decided to run to other dogs or people, he can easily hurt me again.
I made him wait, ignored him when he barks for attentions. He still got very excited when I decided is time for him to get into the water but I believe he will be worse if I didn't make him wait for all that time...Hopefully he will get better with more practice and by me getting stricter with other people who wants to approach Honeybun, because I had enough of people keep sabotaging my training with Honeybun...
Teaching was tiring but not too hard, fixing the bad habits that Honeybun developed due to other people actions is extremely hard and frustrating...enough is enough, I rather tell other people to back off than not able to have some quality time with Honeybun just because I am too busy fixing problems that are not my fault!!!
As I expected, Honeybun did great in water, he is getting stronger and stronger, just so powerful.......
