When he spooks I wait quietly and confidently, in a non reactive way, and then when I feel he's prepared to refocus I offer him a very simple behavior to practice, rewarding that heavily. Then... We just stand there for a minute. I wait for some self soothing behaviors, or behaviors that show me he's returning to a "rest and restore" state. Like a big sigh, lowering his head, licking and chewing, and I reward that! We repeat a few times and then move on to practicing a very simple and relaxing behavior like target following. And that was it! No more spooking.
