Do both: open bar closed bar and BAT.

Reward the presence of dogs with high value treats - doesn't matter what she is doing.
But reward behaviour (i.e. softening etc.) with distance

I tend to just sit and chill with a dog doing open bar closed bar and then do specific BAT sessions where we work on decreasing distance.

Remember, BELOW threshold at all times.

Check out the calming your crazy canine thread for ideas on teaching quick get a ways and for other info on this sort of thing Let me know if you want any help with BAT etc. It really is worth while doing
