I've spent ages working on roll-over, and finally got it to 'pretty okay' - though it looks super awkward when he does it - I think it's more like a cartwheel actually. It's meant that we've temporarily lost 'play dead', but we'll get that back soon enough.
My favourite trick in this set at the moment is the one-legged hang - which Rory invented, I've just managed to put on cue. I like the idea that he's thought "this flip thing is baby stuff - check this out".
I hope you enjoy his medley - he's only 6 months - and we've worked hard to get here:

Thanks guys!
The Karate kid is a combination of 'eagle' and 'wave' (leg and arms up - a la karate kid), though I'm trying to add a spin at the end, as though he's managed to pull off the bird equivalent of a roundhouse a kick. At the moment that's a lot of cues, so while I'm getting confused with my hands, he's getting confused too.

Thanks!
Yeah - I'm pretty sure he loves it - or at least - loves Sunflower seeds. If I go downstairs in the morning and don't let him out immediately he starts throwing me every trick he's got to remind me that it's training time. Same goes for when I get out of work.
