This training session gave me a good chuckle. I taught Frida "watch me" which to me meant: find my eyes and hold eye contact. For the last 5 years Frida seemed to be doing it just fine...until I asked for it while sitting next to her, instead of from directly in front. To my surprise, all this time it seems Frida thought "watch me" meant just to raise her head straight up. In doing that she happened to be finding my eyes, but she had a totally different idea of what I was asking for! This is why generalization and training in different places and with different setups is so important! Luckily for us, we fixed this misunderstanding in a few minutes and have been regularly practicing this skill from different angles. 🤣
