it is a sustained behaviour that has been developed and moved on….brose would do it..obviously not in my arms but only because i couldnt have lifted her… 🙂
you all gone back to what the human percieves as the behaviour…ie the lying still ‘freeze’ …the end result ….but for the dog it is the doing …the going into the lying still ‘freeze’…he has added the flop in arms…be interesting to see if dog would do if on a chair or stand ing on floor…..that dog really trusts person…to do it at that criteria is a huge success…you can see the dog is stressed with the stage set…noise lights action…but still followed the cue..possible he got it at the classical stage …which i suspect as that criteria is high…
so you tell me how you think it can be cued in 🙂
i think it is meg…olliethecollie’s lass that does a good play dead…is that right hils? is it yours i have seen do it…?
