Yeah, I agree, it didn't give me much joy to watch; Joey seems so pleased when he has done a trick, like he is so proud of himself. Gracie just doesn't seem very happy.
I did want to say this is not the type of trick I believe a novice should attempt. Most tricks are relatively simple, and as long as you know the appropriate time to reward the desired behavior, not too much bad can happen. However, this might be one of those tricks that take multiple steps in order to learn correctly without harming the dog's neck.

I just saw your post that she was blind, yeah I guess that does explain things. Smart dog.
