I wasn't thinking about it being a nuisance, as much as teaching him to remain calm and focused on the task at hand.
The problem I see with using it as a reward, rather than as a rewardable behavior, is that the reward marker is also a release, and he could possibly learn that whenever he's released, its's okay to jump on people and act out. It might cause him to check out while you are training. Maybe not.

I live in Indiana! He's getting a lot better, although he's still not thinking as much as I'd like him to. He's incredibly smart, so it's in there, just a matter of getting it out of him.
He gets to run around in a field on a long line daily now that I can trust him to not charge at someone. The field is a minute walk away, but it's cornered by two roads and a bus stop. I haven't noticed any difference in him beyond being slightly more tired. I keep him pretty busy when I'm home.
