Most probably seen this before but for those that havent. Its a couple rules you follow around your dog that really takes no extra time from you. I think it works great and reading on the net its mainly for "working dogs" and works almost instantly to settle down your dog, keeping him settled down is a different story,lol. Its a start for training and is working for me thought Id pass it on.
