@thistlemiss I have not yet read Chill Out Fido but have read Control Unleashed. I'm kind of intrigued by calming signals, so I thought I'd see how they worked with this application. I was actually surprised it worked so well.
By the way, your tutorials are wonderful, thank you for making them.
@tehrenberg CU is wonderful. Kind of a Bible for me and my girls. I've sent your videos to all my puppy clients as inspiration for what is possible. Thank you for the compliment too!
Interesting how he responded to lip licking with his own lip licking. I guess it's contagious in dogs just like yawning! Nice technique! Much better than the 'old' method of bashing the crate to 'calm' the dog down! (Kind of like telling your child to quit crying or I'll give you something to cry about!' ) LOL!
@kikopup thank you Em. . . yes, it was mighty sweet of him to give me exactly what I was looking for in a short amount of time. . . he is a very thoughtful, considerate boy. In addition to being cute as a button ; )
OMG, Tracy, he is a doll! What a smart boy. I love how cute he is when he figures out that being down is a good thing and gets rewarded. I also loved the lip licking and then his eyes are so soft and heavy. SWEET!!! Loved it! Nice job Q & Tracy!
@pamelamarxsen thank you Pam for your very sweet comment! I agree, I love watching his brain working it all out, and more often than not, it's better if I just stay quiet. He's such a fun little guy.
He is way too adorable!! I can't wait to see how gorgeous he is when he is full grown =) Him and Mi are the cutest Border Collies ever!! They have the most unique colours :)
I really do love these videos :) Q is such a doll!
What crate size do you recommend for a border collie??

This is great! Do you know of Nan Arthur's exercise Relax on a Mat in her book Chill Out Fido? It's sort of the same idea.

Gorgeous little pup. I've only recently read about calming signals and hadn't considered this application - thanks :o)
