Mia and her "rollover" trick

[giselechow]

yesterday I started to intensely train both mia and jake again. Since i have been really focused on teaching jake new tricks I have neglected mia by ceasing to teach her new tricks and reviewing her old tricks. So far rollover is jake's best trick. he doesn't have to take a few steps before kneeling down to rollover. he basically lays down on his side immediately and rolls over. it's amazing, almost like something out of a shalin soccer movie. mia on the other hand has always struggled with this. she would spin and spin and spin around in circles while she's sitting down and not figure out what i want her to do. at the very end before i got jake, she almost got the hang of it. But since I have stopped training her, she keeps forgeting. I keep having to remind her to lay down first and then roll over. jake usually sits there to watch me train mia and last night when mai was trying to figure out how to rollover, he just looked so bored to death like he was almost about to fall asleep.
