This is it! The class is ending today, but this page will stay open for ever and you can post your graduation videos at any point. But it's best to hurry up since gathering of "like"s starts whenever it's posted. Whoever has the biggest number of likes (only "likes" on this website count - those given directly on YouTube and Facebook don't count to make it easier to track) by August 18th gets a free next class of their choice - And the next three get a free download link to a training video of their choice!
Looking forward to see all those talented pups graduate!!! - And of course, to see them in August RC and October Foundations!!! 🙂

Beautiful video -- and what a great job with both!!! Always a joy to watch your videos!
Here is our graduation video. I had wanted to shoot new footage showing where we are right now with the tricks but, well, that just didn’t happen! 🙂 So I used old clips from class but it’s kind of fun to see Toko as a wee pup too! 🙂 I can’t believe he was ever that small!!!
Thank you, Silvia, for this wonderful class!!! And thank you for making it possible for Toko to come live in Maine!!! I ADORE this amazing boy!!! 🙂
Thank you, classmates!!! It’s been great watching your videos and reading comments! Hope to see you in future classes!
Sooo happy to see Toko sooo happy, so focused and doing so well with all his tricks -- just amazing!!! So smart and so well trained already!
Here’s our graduation video! Enjoy & we hope to see you soon in others classes 🙂
Kirsten & Torvaig
Sooo cool!!! Loved the video -- and all the tricks! Great job!!! I love the umbrella idea, he will look super cool holding it on his own! 🙂 Can’t wait to see more of Torvaig in RC and Foundations!
@ Kathy:
How great is that?! You mastered the piggybank trick with real coins, no need for the fisherprice one… so very, very cool!!
And I love Toko picking up the bottle to hug it. So sweet!
Thanks, Sandra! 🙂 Haha, well both Toko & Zephyr think the Fisher Price piggybank is WAY harder!!! 🙂 I think it’s because they can’t target their nose first to get the larger discs in the slot. Plus, they are very used to putting objects into low containers and the FP piggybank is much bigger/higher than they’re used to. How did you start training this with your Aussie??? Thanks again!
We started putting the coins in a plastik bucket. Then I put a lid on the bucket and cutted a big slot in the lid. Next I minimized the slot and we switched to the piggybank. Peppers biggest challenge was the swelling around the slot. On the lid she could slide the coin, with the swelling around she had to hit the slot directly. That was really difficult and needed a lot of repetitions. Initial I helped a bit and leaded with my hand.
Thanks, Sandra! We’ll try that! Yeah, that green lip around the slot is definitely tough, plus it seems like they have to pick up the ‘coin’ just by the edge so it hangs vertically in order to slide it into the slot! Huge challenge there too! I’m in awe of Pepper’s precision with the pick up and getting it into the slot!!! Amazing!!!
Now I finally finished our graduation video. I´m so proud of my little boy and also a little bit speechless when I see how much he lerned in the last month.
I hope you will enjoy are journey “from zero to (my little) hero”!
And Silvia, many many thanks for your assistence and this fantastic class. We both enjoyed it very much.
He sure is amazing little pup -- simply impressive how many tricks he mastered in so short time! LOVE his heeling!!! And what a speed through that tunnel!
Thank you so much Silvia and classmates.
We learned a lot of tricks in puppy class and we enjoyed very much.
Looking forward to the next class!!
Here is our graduation video.
Great job with Dino!!! You two make such a great team, looking forward to follow you further in next classes!
