New little trick.... I don't even know what to call it, but it's cute.
Basically, Jackson 'mirrors' what I'm doing. He's sitting, facing me, I lift up my right foot and he lifts up his left foot, I lift my left foot and he lifts right foot at the same time (as if I'm looking in a mirror... of course, when I really look in a mirror, it's not as cute as Jackson
) but anyways, I've just been saying "foot" and then "other foot." I don't know if I explained that right -- but I'll make a video soon.
I thought it was cute and he picked up on it within 5 mins. I've been using the clicker more than ever before and he really does learn sooo much faster!
Our next trick mission: OK, I don't know if this is going to be possible, but I really wanna get Jackson to skateboard. Or atleast semi-skateboard. I think, once he got the hang of it, he'd actually enjoy it... I have a skateboard in my garage buried somewhere and I might go dig it out tomorrow! I just think that'd be pretty cool. Or maybe I just have no life, ha. Either way - i'm gonna try it!
I came across a nice little tutorial that inspired me,
