One New Trick A Month - March - Jumping Rope

Hi! It's Cinnamon.

I am sorry I have been away from blogging so long!! Mum has been super busy lately, so she couldn't help me post on the blog for the last three weeks. But, she has agreed to help me today because we hadn't done a post for our One New Trick A Month Challenge 2012 this month yet.

Well, this month it's Mint again. It seems that Mint has been learning many new tricks. Although I have been learning some new tricks too, we just didn't have a chance to film it! Actually the video I am going to show you today was filmed two weeks ago. Our original plan was to practise it a little more and film it again later. But, we didn't have a chance to do that either.

The new trick Mint learned this month is Jumping Rope!! As some of you may know, he loves jumping, so he has lots of jumping moves in his dance routines. However, when Mum first tried to practise jumping rope with Mint, he was so scared of the rope flying over him that he couldn't get close to it. But, once he overcame the fear after practising jumping through a hula-hoop, he started jumping with Mum easily.

Here is a video of Mint's new Jumping Rope trick for March in the One New Trick A Month Challenge!

  4. That is so awesome!! That's better than every trick I learned last year. :D Mom says she can barely jump rope by herself so she probably won't try it with me. Oh well!

    1. Thanks Jackal! Well, this particular trick was just simple for me who loves to do lots of vertical jumps. But, I have been struggling to learn the crossed paws trick that you learned last year :-)

    2. Actually I never did figure out the paw crosses!! I still can't do them. :( I need to try working on it again. Mom is finally figuring out that if she gives me a break sometimes things will click for me bol! I'm looking forward to seeing what your next trick is! Did you see the video of all of my tricks? http://myfarmerlife.blogspot.com/2012/04/jackal-40-tricks-video.html :D

    3. Oh, I am sorry it seems I was confused between the paw crosses trick and the shy trick!! However, your trick video is so inspiring! I must ask Mum to help me make one for myself!

  6. We saw this trick on your human FB page, we were super impressed!!! :)

    Unfortunately if we wanted to learn this trick we would probably need a larger human and a larger rope *Hee! Hee!*

    Licks and lots of slobber,
