Seeing Teagan doing it has inspired me! I'm gonna try and give it a go with one or both of these two here. It would be good to give them a bit of a challenge. (And me too.)

Any tips greatly appreciated!!
Keep the toy in your hand but reward him from a different place.

I use a feeding station with my guys , so even if I have a reward in my hand (toys or food) I go back and reward them from that station.

Mine all do twirls and Spins on a verbal cue, but I'm not sure Siren will do them behind me without the eye contact.

I might try it lying on the floor as well..If it stops raining I might try today

Bryan will do both clockwise and anticlockwise spin with a hand signal, but I've never got him to do it with a verbal command.

I'll try teaching it to Boo, and I'll try getting Bryan doing it with a verbal command.

Oooo and I might try getting both to do it at the same time

Lonnie already does this one in both directions, so we will try it with Cin.

She hasn't forgiven me for having her spayed last week yet though so she isnt overly keen on working with me at the moment

This is going to be a challenge.
Oscar follows treat in hand, turns head round as far as possible then swings it back the other way without so much as moving his feet
I'm going to have to do bigger circles lol!

Go slower and have your hand lower, click and treat for any movement in the right direction to begin with.
