Video Progress
(or, if that doesn't work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed-JfzrvZl8 )
Here's Ferguson practicing alone training for about 5 minutes. We've been practicing frequently and will continue to do so to help him get more comfortable. Nothing really happens in the video, though the power did go out, so you see his ears perk up and look a little confused for a moment. He just lays there and pants, but recently I've had a difficult time figuring out if he's stress panting or if he's really truly hot...actually, pretty sure I'm driving myself insane with the concept. I guess we'll figure it out in the winter when our room becomes freezing. *sighs*
In any case, this video is 2 days shy of 2 weeks being on fluoxetine. I've not seen any dramatic changes yet more than what I would assume if we were relying only on behavior modification, but we're just half-way before it reaches full effect. Not expecting any miracles, but if it IS stress panting, even that lessening would be great.
As for work, yes, he likes Svara just as much as Lily, so we're set there. I'm hoping this madness of coordinating schedules will end by the time November comes around...

He does so well! I led mummie and daddie on a merry dance for the better part of a year, they tried me loose in the living room- I broke into the kitchen, teehee! And I pooped LOTS. So they tried crates and that got me clean after a while, but I liked to HOWWWWWWWWL and Ambam bent her bars in half, nearly- so they put us in the bedroom and now we sleep on the bed and don't have any more accidents!
So I think my mummie is mega impressed with Ferguson! We wish you lots and lots of luck getting even better! xx
Thanks...we'll take all the luck we can get.
It's somewhat of an improvement, but he's still showing minor anxiety signs, such as the yawning, panting, lip licking, etc. If I let him go too much longer, it could possibly progress into the more terrible things you were mentioning...don't give him any more ideas! lol. We'll keep practicing...more videos to come. I'll try and do one every week to see if there is any more improvement....
Hi. My name is Deccy and I'm a retired racer from the UK. I saw you on Nibs' site, so I thought I'd drop by and say Hi. I'm not so happy about being left alone. Haven't done any major damage (touch wood!!) but I really do bark. A lot.... Deccy x
