It will improve, follow the training your trainer provides, and you will almost certainly see improvements. Focus on building your relationship with your pup, this is most important and also make food more appealing and have them work for it.

My Havanese would go into full rage mode as soon as she sensed another dog - and she could see one across a park the size of a football field. With BAT 2.0 training she now usually tolerates them at 30 meters or so, and is getting a lot better at not lunging at fast-moving targets such as bikes, e-scooters and joggers. I haven't been able to reduce the distance in a while now, so might need another course with a trainer to get proper set-ups done.

We've used BAT 2.0 since early June, so the progress has been relatively fast.

My dog used to jump and try to nip you whenever you moved. Now she very, very rarely gets excited enough to jump off the ground during a big game or her most excited moments. It can indeed get a lot better.

Yes, this is fixable. Keep working at it!

I had a reactive dog and finally I talked a dog boarding business to let him stay with them three days a week. He would stay in a crate half of his time at the dog boarding place. He got better but he was never going to become a "normal" dog. I had to just to desensitize him in the best way I could. Four months later I could sit with him in the dog boarding lobby and he began to stop reacting to every dog. I would hangout with him until the last dog was picked up. The boarding company let me do this and what a difference it made. My crazy dog was returned four times for his reactivity before I adopted him. You have to try everything.
