Maybe I can get her spinning on a smaller surface?

Put each on verbal or physical cue?

She's deaf so each is on a signal now.

Zuma knows both directions as well. I'm working on speed and adding distance to our cue. If she nails that, I'm going for a standing spin in both directions.

Backwards spin sounds like it would be hard!!! I'd go for spinning on hind legs if I were you guys

I dunno why I never taught this to Milo, it was one of my favorite tricks to teach my eskie when I was a kid.

You should totally teach her to spin while you spin. And then it will look like you are dancing. And it will be fabulous.

Ok, here's Traveler's spin so far. I started with the perch and a solo pivot. Adding in cue right now and fading out the object.

He wants to turn it into a reverse leg weave which you can see him do once in the video. Pain in the butt dog

Traveler looks great!

When we were practicing earlier, Squash kept offering sit pretty. PAY ATTENTION YOU JERK. :/

Traveler looks awesome!! I love the idea of doing the independent pivot and fading the target. I'm interested to see how the spin turns out, if he ends up keeping his front feet still or if he starts to move them as the spin gets more fluent.

Oh this is fun! I missed the first week, I'd like to participate. I teach far too many "serious" things, and far too few "fun" things.

[Southpaw]

Hahaha totally love Traveler sneaking in the leg weave.

Well I totally wasn't planning on recording this today but she picked it up quicker than I thought. We need more enthusiasm though!
Had to add in beg at the end - she kept offering it before I started recording lol so I figured I'd reward her efforts



Also, I need to start putting real clothes on for these things
