Oh my word this is now serious stuff. Can i ask please how long we have to get the video in please? Thanks so much we have loved every minute of this course so much.
Well, make it long enough to fit everything you want to in it 🙂 There is so min. or max. length, its’ up to you.
I’m a bit behind… it’s raining a lot here and I’m sick. I should leave for a week the day after tomorrow (if I’m ok…). So I don’t think I will be able to make the video before next week. It’s been a great experience, we loved your class.

O.k., no problem! Get well soon!
Just spent a rainy day working on the first half of the graduation video. It took all day because all the cute little puppy videos were so distracting and I had to watch them all again. Nero loved reviewing things he had learned long ago and was pretty good through multiple filming sessions. I’m trying to learn I-movie so that I can have fancier titles, but find the simplicity of the Flip software to be much easier in the short term. Good luck to everyone else on this process.

How long will we have access to this puppy classroom to watch all these videos and read the comments?
I think it will stay on for a while, till July for sure.
That’s nice! I’m training these things with 3 dogs and it takes time… need to get back to some old videos and tips from time to time 🙂
Sure! I think it’s hard enough to follow even with one dog! 🙂 So yes, it definitely stays on till end of July, I’m actually thinking to just leave it up for ever, it’s good to sometimes review some old videos and it would be also nice to hear from participants here and there how they’re doing and see those dogs all grown up -- despite looks like I’ll be seeing many of them in Foundation class too 🙂
Oh, that’s great, I have been watching and rereading tips and advice from earlier lessons on some tricks that we still need to improve on.
I realized a couple of days ago that sit up and hug/hold I have been doing it wrong this entire time. No wonder it didn’t work. 🙂
I gave up on frog, it just wasn’t happening at all, he does a nice backstretch though on his back 🙂
We will do some more practice for about another week and then make our final video, I definitely would like to have it done before AF class starts because then I will be busy with that.
So it’s ok to mix earlier footage with new?
Yes, of course, you should of course use the early footage too, we’re basically trying to make a sum up of everything we did in the class, I think it will be a nice souvenir for everybody, the one making it, other participants and me! I love reviewing old videos, I think this was one of my very first videos I did, I just saw it recently:
I remember watching this video and having no idea how to train all these behaviors!
Yes, keep it up forever!
Here’s the graduation video for Nero. What a pile of tricks we learned (or not). This has been so much fun and has really “opened up my mind”.
Nancy and Nero
Cool, you see little Nero and big Nero 🙂 So you mixed your footage a bit, but you have a lot of new stuff! Did you do that all in one day?!
Great job, Nancy! I love it!
Jen
oh, Nancy, I almost forgot…We are looking at flights to come out to Montana at the end of July. Yeah!
What was your email again? Maybe we can meet up in Bozeman 🙂
Thanks Jennifer, I’ve got some old footage, but mostly new. Nero had so much fun reviewing everything that we kept going and going. It’s been raining like mad for a week so that’s why the grass is so green. It took two full days to put that together, but I had lot’s of fights with Imovie on the Mac. Hopefully we’ve dried out by July. My email is nmcreel@bresnan.net. It would be a blast to meet up!
Nancy
Fantastic Nancy!! Looks like you and nero had a great time making your vid 🙂 He has grown up into such a beautiful young man 🙂 Hard to believe that he was such a little baby when we met him.
PS you were v brave to go first. Well done 🙂
Very cool! Looks like we’ve got the first graduate!!! What a nice video! Let me know which of the training videos you would like you receive!
Hi Sylvia, Whew--I was as nervous as my kids after an exam on this one! I think I’d like cip/cak given that I need it for agility foundations. I’m excited to see this video. Should keep me going till foundations starts.
Nancy
It’s in your mail! Certificate coming soon too!
Well done Nancy and Nero! Looking forward to see your videos again from our next class Agility Foundations! 😀
Great video; well done Nancy and Nero! I’m looking forward to see your videos in Agility foundation class!

It Has been an amazing experience. Darwin and myself are really grateful for the opportunity we have been given through these classes… and we enjoyed very much sharing this trip with all of you. We hope to see you all in AF.
Way to go Eva and Darwin! Loved your editing and story. Darwin was such a cute little baby. Now he’s grown into such a handsome dog that must be a joy to be around. So glad you are both doing foundations.
Nancy and Nero
Thank you very much Nancy..!!! Glad to hear you two are in AF too!!! It seems to me we are going to have a few quite challenges there…!!!
Cool!! He’s got the cutest little face! Great job, Eva! See you in AF class!
Jen and Buddy
