      Just want to say I’m not sure I have ever seen a cuter puppy picture than the one of Ta up there. Love it!

        Yes, her breeder did that, it sure is a brilliant idea!

      Hi Silvia,
      I participated with my Aussie in the RC class 3 years ago. After much work he just wasn’t getting it, so I went to 2o2o. He is now 6 and finally seems to have matured and gotten more focus. I think this new method of RC training would work better for him, and was wondering if it would be unfair to again change his criteria. He frequently will not stop in trials, clearly he prefers to run, but I’m sure he hits the yellow purely by accident, not because he understands. Also, if I decide to try again, would he be considered a repeater?

        I see no problem in trying again -- I don’t see it as changing criteria, it’s just teaching a new behavior/trick -- nothing wrong with that! And yes, you’re a repeater.

      HI Silvia
      your puppy class that started november 1st- can you tell me when lesson 2 will start and when the break will be?
      it’s nov 21st-so is it a bit late to enter now? I am away for 1 week in early december at a conference. I’m guessing the 2 week break will be during Xmas

      will puppy class be offered again in the winter? ie when does it start new in 2019? I’m just trying to figure out when to take it
      thanks
      mary DeCarolis and Mulder

        Lesson 2 started 1 week ago. It’s still possible to join -- we always have some puppies joining a bit later, when coming from their breeders, so it’s no problem. The break will be during Xmas yes. The class is on till Feb 6, so the whole winter… And then next one will start in May.

      Hi Silvia, my name is Erika and I recently signed up to your site. I have a puppy of almost three months and I would like to start a journey with you.
      I would like to register for the puppy class on June 1st and I wanted to ask you, can I already buy the DVD and register as soon as possible? Thanks so much

        For other students videos, go to the class and see them there. For class program videos, check your computer, you must have downloaded them to your computer.

      I would like t enroll Nina in the RC class as a repeater. I have not done much with her other than conditioning for the last year because she has been off and on lame because of Lyme disease and her joints have been sore. I have started back this Summer with sequencing and now would like to start RC again and think it would be really good for her to start again and do your class. What do you think?

      Hi Silvia, sorry for doubling questions, but i have trouble with sending out my email -- they look undelivered. Yesterday, i paid for online classes RC, but unfortunately i have not received the link for downloading the RV video. Is there a chance to send me the link again? Thank you for your response. Iva

        I sent it earlier today, I guess you have it now?
