Chili used to be so reactive that I couldn't even leave the yard with him. cars, people, dogs, sounds, movement, novel objects, anything really, sent him into a fear induced hysterical barking fit.
The "look a that" game has been a lifesaver. Basically the dog is asked to look at his triggers and before he can react you click/treat. This changes the underlying emotion the dog feels about the trigger.
There was a backhoe and many loud loud workers working near my house, so we decided to check it out.
What an adorable dog! And such a great game. Thanks for sharing!
