Thanks for the help! I will go for the full nudge I think, he's usually really quick to learn things in his obedience training usually once I get the hang of what I'm doing he picks it up straight away, think it's me that needs the training! Will keep at it! And also the dog Alfie in the video is a stunning dog!   :D

I have another question, this morning we had a builder in to do some work and Alfie was fine with him, he was playing with him petting him , playing with him with his hands on his face and Alfie didn't react infect he loved it, he wouldn't give him peace, kept taking his toys up to him and then he was sitting on his feet leaning against his legs while we were talking, it doesnt seem like he has a fear of being touched why is he only snapping randomly?

your dog could react differently in different situations, and the reaction could be due to your dog being stressed in certain situations or times. people react differently if on edge and no reason to doubt that dogs are capable of the same. Take note of where your dog is reactive and avoid triggers in those situations.

Yea that makes sence, I wonder if has lashing out could be due to when we are out could he be more stressed when on the leash? Also he goes to work with my oh and when he's in the van and people talk to him he does it agiain snapping when they walk off.
