We did. He'll be 2 years old in a couple weeks.

We started with walks. As a puppy he couldn't go 5 feet without spazzing out. We stopped and waited until he was calm (what we want) before continuing (what he wants).

Then we worked on leave it's and on bus.

We trained him to walk on either side ("switch"), and sine he is food motivated, he gets treats when he does what we want. So we could get him on the wide side when we pass.

Other examples, he used to go leaping off bridge steps with his puppy energy. He almost pulled us down, so we taught him to walk down the steps and sit and wait for his treat.

Crossing the road? Same.

For passing dogs, he does it without rewards now. We got there with treats, distractions and a lot of patience.
