I trained Panda how to turn around.
And Scout can tell the difference between yellow and blue (he touches the shapes with his paw)

Cute! I had all sorts of plans for training these girls, maybe I should get on that... "Turn Around" seems simple enough to start with, did you just make him follow the treat in a circle until he'd do it on command, that kind of thing?

yup.
the first few turns were kinda hard, but he picked up on it really fast.
i always had him turn counterclockwise, i think if i switched on him it would be harder to learn.
