Played inside online, just the circling game with changes of direction. Realized how bad and undependable my position is for changes of direction - can't be politely and passively persistent if I'm in the improper position! The latter negates the former.
Also noticed that Z keeps throwing her left eye to me, rather than giving the right eye, which makes changes impossible to do with savvy. So played with moving backwards and having her following me, but keeping straight-on and contact with right eye. Very difficult for her, but slowly improved. Then, she was able to trot happily toward me as I ran backwards!!!!!
Felt more in harmony after today's playtime than the last couple. It did feel better to just focus on one task, less pressure on her, and I could now focus on improving my savvy instead of learning/teaching the tasks. Also, realized that I had been forgetting to think about what her needs were before starting to play, rather than focusing on my goals. Tiny steps.
