Hi Kaye, find a small class with friendly dogs and a competent instructor who will be able to show you two things (amongst many others):

1. how to form positive associations using Classical Conditioning
2. how to teach Bailey to touch a target with his nose

Shy and fearful dogs require special handling, and a good instructor will show you how to be that person.

Regards,
Aidan
