Hand targetting is a great behaviour for all kinds of issues. A dog with a strong hand target can get through difficult, scary or arousing situations by following the owner's lead. Reiker's hand target is very strong and enthusiastic.

I did that with dexter the other day, trying to get by a bunch of crowded drunks. Everyone was trying to pet him and he was getting scared so I started doing targeting with him with a plain timbit donut on hand, he ended up wanting to BACK into the crowd area, once we had gotten out.
