Sisko and I have have gotten better! My mood has improved, so I don't get angry at all anymore. Sisko either has to lay down or stay in one part of the kitchen, we've been working on impulse control and attention, and heeling.??
I noticed Sisko would scratch, stretch, yawn, lick his lips and groom himself, when, I asked him to do something, didn't want to do something, like get off the bed, and when he wanted my attention, so I looked into why he would do this and found out that these are called displacement behaviors, so I asked on a wedsite what I should about it and the person on the website said to ignore it and walk away and said to start making Sisko work for his food, and I make him work for attention too. He's still doing the behaviors, but less so, and is more willing to listen to me.
He can still be hard to train because he won't take things seriously and likes to goof off and try to play instead listening. He also gives up very easily when trying to find treats or getting his food from his bowl.

Sisko is getting even better! He ignored 2 really cute older Golden Retrievers and their owners walking on the other side of the road.
