Are you wanting her to be on your arms or on the table? I couldn't tell if you were using your arm to get her on the table, (which seemed less likely since you didn't reward her when she was just on the table) or if you were trying to use the table to get her on your arm. Which if the latter was the case I really do'nt think you need that step. While Tibby was confused about whether to rise onto your arm or try to sniff your closed fists, I think getting rid of the table would make more sense to her. With either trick I would first focus on getting a solid paws up, and then from a sitting/beg position, before I lure the head down. No lumping!
Independent, curious, highly intelligent,clever, mischievous, precocious, strong-minded, playful. Collected from various sources:
1 -Stubbornness. Tibetan Terriers have an independent mind of their own and can be stubborn and manipulative. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say.
2-Suspiciousness or timidity when not socialized enough.
3-"Separation anxiety" (destructiveness and barking) when left alone too much.
4-Lively and playful at times, yet also calm and low-key.
5-Makes a good watchdog but is not aggressive with people.
6-Most are amiable with other animals, though perhaps a bit bossy.
7- The Tibetan Terrier is very stubborn in general and must be shown from Day One that you are in control.
8-An athletic and agile sure-footed climber, and a clever problem-solver who often uses his paws with great adeptness to open doors and hold toys.
9- 1/3 Dog + 1/3 Cat + 1/3 Teenager = 1 Tibetan Terrier
10-Tibetan Terriers are family-oriented: they love to play games and participate in activities with their people.
Patience and a sense of humor are musts for the people of a Tibetan Terrier.

Good work, Tibby! You're getting there! I hope you got lots of treats after this!
Doing good there Tibby - mom taught me this trick but she just called it "arm" instead of praying :)
Great job Tibby! Keep it up and I bet you have it in no time.
Great job Tibby! :)
