Angus already has quite a few calm behaviours - do we need to change them?

It is really just Angus reactivity to other dogs that is our difficulty. I’ve watched the first lot of videos about establishing calm, and I realise these behaviours are really already established for Angus, though we have a different language to Walkys. In terms of place - Angus likes to be in the room I’m in, so he has a cushion ‘place’ in every room. In my bedroom, it’s my bed and I’m fine with that. He does not rush through doors - I use the word stay if I do not want him to come through, and he stays. He does not jump out of the car until I say ‘OK’. He stands rock still while I put his harness on for walks, and even makes his joints soft so it is easy to put his legs through into the harness (i love it that he does that!) He walks happily on a loose lead and we enjoy these walks - it is all just fine until another dog turns up and then Angus loses the plot. But he settles quickly after each negative event. When we get to a road crossing I just say ‘wait’ and he waits until I say ‘let’s go’. So we have a different language but still similar behaviours to what this stage of Walkys seems to be seeking. Do we need to change what we are doing?
