I'm on learning overload between competition obedience and agility, but Chili seems to catch on very nicely in spite of me!
Hehehe I just got click and play agility and was reading about the elephand trick...LOVE it! A reverse of that (turn on hind end) would be good for carting where they have to be able to pivot the cart without bending their bodies...hmmmm

I too am on information overload but you know, I find that the more Bear learns, the easier it is for him to learn MORE!!! many "new" tricks build on behaviours we've been working on and I LOVE love love watching the wheels turn in his big 'ol head before the "lightbulb moment".
