Struggles with Spins!
I *finally* found a few minutes to check our foundations for spins/wraps. What I've learned;
1) Kid has way too much energy at 6am
2) I've focused on one direction much more than the other
3) im inadvertently cueing to my front instead of to my side (hand/reward placement)
4) He does actually understand my distance cue "Go" (if there are two things to go around- "around" means the closest, "go around" means the farthest)
5) I need to slow everything down and work on precision
6) I need to work on adding distance to his spins
If you watch closely, when im trying to get him to spin clockwise, he gets super frustrated and mouths my arm. He learned that from me. Its his way of telling me to just "stop moving for a sec and think". Its the same thing I did to him just before, when he was all over the place and I ask/tell him to just stop. We need to pause and regroup. I find it interesting that he recognizes when I ask to stop and regroup and that hes figured out a way to mirror the same thing and ask me to stop and breath too. Teamwork/Relationship at its finest. 😀❤️
