This is socialization. Clover and Ethel are reactive to people and dogs. Here, I'm finding their threshold and working them at that point where they can still maintain, then slowing pushing that limit. They need this kind of exposure over and over, along with corrections for becoming overly focused. YES, you can and should correct your dog for intent and not wait until they are overly aroused. At that point they can't take in any training information.
