I'm just sooo proud of this Foundation student who actually listened when I told her to step back and go back to step zero - many people find it too hard to do that and want to rush to fancy stuff instead... But she did it!!! And look at them now!!! It's not the fancy stuff that is hard. THIS was hard. But oh, so well worth it!

Excellent work!
Wow! Thanks for showing the “before”. All 3 of you -- teacher, student and pup -- should be very proud indeed!
Very cool to watch, what a difference!
Compliments for the handler to go back and make it fun again for the dog, great!
That is also why I love your methods Silvia, they are focused on motivation (/speed) and fun right from the start. I see so many dogs not having fun or making mistake after mistake in the beginning of training, which is sooo demotivating for them.. It definitly should be fun right from the start if you ask me 🙂
Yes, sooo important!!!
