A question of enthusiasm

running contacts, students' videos

For everybody, asking how much room they need for that or another class... Here are Andreja and Ruby, my students through puppy, foundations and handling class. They live in an apartment in Ljubljana, the capital - see where they practised running contacts! 🙂 Everything can be done if there is enough enthusiasm 🙂 And yes, we do see other breeds as sheepdogs too - occasionally 🙂

Ruby - 2 years (swapped music)

Happy birthday to my favourite Whippet!

    I can’t see the video. Can you remove the music, please? Content of UMG is included, and therefore its not possible to watch in Germany 🙁

      I’ll let her know and ask if she can change the music.

        Yes, after the complaints, I asked Andreja for a video with another music and changed the links 🙂

          Weird — I can’t see it at all (in USA). It’s just black, and then goes back to reset. 🙁

            Yes, I had another report on that problem… You can try the other link,

            Ruby -- 2 years

            Happy 2nd birthday, Ruby! We had a fun and also challenging year. Let's hope the next one will be just as fun, but a little less challenging :)"/>

            -- that one is blocked in some countries because of the music, but maybe you can see it? Let me know!

                  Interesting… I changed this link with another as people couldn’t see it 🙂 Well, good to hear the problem is solved!

    What a great video! They are doing so many wonderful things with their training! And Ruby seems to be having so much fun, especially when she can play frisbee after a trick! That is a great lesson to learn -- make sure to keep all training as fun and part of a game -- I will try to remember this always as Cosi and I keep going forward with our training… A very inspiring video! Thanks so much for sharing it with us :-))

      Yeap, non-herding breeds definitely teach us a lot about the importance of keeping it FUN, short, intense and all about the playing! 🙂

    No way!!! I have a 5 month old whippet who looks a lot like Ruby and we are starting to learn some tricks, obedience and agility, I hope we’ll have as much fun together!

      Oh yes, whippets are so cool! I have several in my long-distance classes and they’re doing GREAT!
