Hoop, Please, and Make It A Double - VIDEO
Posted on October 21, 2009 by freshwater
Clem is still at 73% success with his double hoop trick. But at this point his errors are about technique, not about whether he'll go through the two hoops.
He sometimes decides to squeeze between the hoops instead of swimming through. No reward for that maneuver, Clemmie! He also likes to do an about-face at the end of a hoops pass and go back through the opposite direction. That's fine, and in fact I taught him to do this with a single hoop. But sometimes he turns around before he has cleared the hoop completely. That doesn't look good, so from now on I'll click as his tail clears the last hoop.
