This is it! The class will be closing soon, 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 May 5 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 the sum ups of your hard work of last 4 months! May your RC keep making you smile!!!
Thank you Silvia for the class, inspiration and advice. I think running contacts from the beginning to managing all kind of different situations on courses are the most challenging thing to train in agility but nothing can make me happier than succesful RC performances. Here is Lin’s running contact journey, we keep training contacts even better. 🙂
Always fun to watch Lin! Great dog, great training! Good luck at the trials!!!
Thanks you Silvia, for this amazing journey!
Was very difficult start zero level for the second time, but was the best choice for us because agility is happyness and now we have a lot of fun!
Thank you for all!
See you soon in agility competitions in Slovenia!!
Gloria and Gas
Gas looks great now!!! It can sure take some time ad patience sometimes, but it’s certainly well worth it! See you around!
Thank you Silvia, for your endless patience! We still have a long ways to go, me and Banksy seem to learn things the hard way. But we sure will have a good time getting there. Laura & Banksy
Her good hits are soooo good!!! Just beautiful to watch -- and definitely worth all the work!!! 🙂
I hope we don’t go through anymore bad hit eras, but if we do I will watch our graduation video to remind me the good hits are there and then figure out a way to undo bad hits! No more bad hits for Banksy!
Sounds like a good plan!!!
Hi!! This is Blue´s graduation video. The beginning of the class was hard for us, harder for me because Blue is a really clever girl 🙂 We learn many things but we still have a lot of work to do. We enjoy learning during the class and we have a lot of fun. Thank you very much Silvia!!! Blue becomes a “happy runner” 😀
You always do such a great job with your beautiful Beardies -- really a joy to watch! Great job to get here in just 4 months, starting from zero with the class!
Hi Silvia and classmates!!!! Here is Bim’s graduation video. Even though he isn’t finished we got much farther than I ever thought we would in this class!!!! I can’t believe how much he can do on his DW already!!!!
Such a super fun class with some super cool students!!!! I think you are just getting better and better at teaching everyone running contacts that make us all smile!!!!! Bim and I are sure smiling every time we go train RCs!!!!!
Thanks SO much!!!!! See you in Foundatins in May!!!! And graduates, of course!
Amy and Bim!
Wow, really fancy exits already -- no problems with handling after, what a good boy!
Looks really awesome Amy! There are some really talented red-merles in this class 😀
Thanks Daniela!!!!! Yes!!!! The REd Merles ROCKED this course, didn’t they???
Loved to follow your process 😀 . What a talented and fast boy and sure one of the super red merles 😉
Thanks Priscilla !!!!!! We sure have a nice red Merle fan club started now!!!!! ❤️
So this is it. It has been a wonderful journey into the unknown for us. Arya is my first dog doing RC and all the fun makes it like it’s no training at all. Just drive, passion and crazyness. Thank you for a great time Silvia. We’ll keep on smiling 🙂
Wow ! You really dead a good work 🙂
Thank you very much.
Sooo cool!!! You two sure came really far in very little time! Should be easy from here on!
We don’t have our graduation video just yet, still working on a few things! Thank you Sylvia for a wonderful class! Your feedback was so helpful. I look forward to seeing you in your next handling class 🙂
Tammy and Wheelie 🙂
Great, looking forward to see more of Whelie!
Dear Silvia, I chose a short but strong video to say you thanks for your incredible patience and advice!
This is the synthesis of our beautiful journey…
You are in our hearts! ❤️
Eleonora & Nikita
Great progress with Nikita! I’m sure she will soon master it all!
I am so sad 🙁 I am still trying to make my graduation film to be able post -- my third attempt is loading on youtube -- they have deleted my first two for ‘violating’ their rules. apparently using two clips that look the same is not permitted -- funny -- about 200 of us have been breaking that rule for the last 4 months! If this film gets rejected, I will be banned from using youtube, which means I won’t be able to participate in any more on-line training. to say I’m worried is an understatement as Natta and I still need a lot of help!
we miss you Silvia for all your help, wisdom and advice.
Oh no, how weird -- have never heard of such problems and rules! Of course, you can always make a new e-mail address and YouTube account or use Vimeo instead, so no worries!
well here it is.. nothing flash, we are still struggling with getting to full height, we just think we’re starting to make progress and then we take a huge step backwards again… we’ll get there one day I’m sure.
Oh no, it says it has been removed for violating their rules… How strange -- maybe just use Vimeo instead? And oh, based on how far you’ve come already, I’m sure you will master those last few cm soon as well!!!
I’m gutted I’m destined not to get enough likes
I can’t transfer my videos from YouTube now to vimeo either!
BUt hopefully you have a file on your computer and can upload it again?
No, I only have a tablet with limited memory. No laptop so cant use vimeo as can’t load straight to it unlike youtube.
I can’t believe my bad luck. To make it worse natta now can’t do a 6 hit DW to save her life. I’ve dropped it right down, 2nd apex is really low, carpet all the way back and she still is insisting on 3 hits on the down plank yet she’s perfect over the second apex.
I give up with the grad video.
Oh no! 🙁 If no other variable was changed that could cause that set back, try with a break first, it might help with getting extension back.
well the good news is youtube has lifted the block, the bad news is she is still not extending. no variables changed at all. we are now back to 6 hits, but miles of getting the contact, so that is a step back in the right direct…
Maybe try if you can get hits in extension with gtcg?
