      Great job!!! Impressive 4in and really cool pivoting, now you just need to fade the target! Too cute crosses too, great balance on that ball and really cool tight cik&cap! Let me know which video you want for graduation. See you in Foundations!

    Here’s Gypsy’s graduation video! It’s only a very small bit of what we’ve worked on in class, and I didn’t get many of our tricks on video. But we LOVED the class and will continue to perfect our tricks, fade targets and keep having a blast together!!! Gypsy is such a keen shaper now, thanks to this class. Thank you, Silvia!!!!

        Oh wow, I didn’t know we got a video!!! I already have Foundations and Cik/Cap so far, so maybe Tricks for Balance, Strength and Coordination. Sounds like it will help us really keep going with our trick training. Thanks!

    Dear Silvia,

    We do not have a graduation video. But what we gained from this class cannot be captured on video — it is a greater love, respect and compassion for each other. And a greater joy in just being and playing. I am sincerely grateful.

    Thank you,
    Jodi, Shahka, Yuri (and Sammy too).

    • LoLaBu December 3, 2013 at 10:14 Log in to Reply

      That’s what it should be all about!!! You can still make a video too, there is no time limit!

    Hi Silvia,
    I didnt include all the tricks we learnt because I wanted the video to fit in with the music and it was so short ! And some other tricks we don’t master yet…

    Your class is GREAT because one trick leads to another and makes it all a logical evolution for the dog. You are an AMAZING teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of dogs with us, thank you for giving us advice when we struggle, for being patient and dedicated, for coping with our sometimes silly questions !

    I hope you will enjoy this video. Inouk and I had a lot of FUN all along !

    I will be back !

    Hi!
    Here is our graduation video.
    I dreamed to make something awesome, to film our tricks goodly, but my little Vega became ill with kennel cough and we must to cure actively and do not go out to be in the form for RC class.
    Thank you very much, Silvia, for such informative, interesting and fun class!
    Vega grew up with this class. Her older sister Bonny helped a little with one object into another trick, because Vega wants nothing to do with the toy next to the food.

    Silvia Trkman puppy class graduation, Vega

    • LoLaBu December 4, 2013 at 13:17 Log in to Reply

      Vega is so cute!!! Great job with the tricks -- great 2on2off and figure 8s backwards already! Let me know which video you want for graduation!

      • Irina Milanovich December 4, 2013 at 14:19 Log in to Reply

        Thank you!
        I’d like to have better a discount for RC class, but if it isn’t possible, I choose a video about weaves, because I already have all others )))

    Our graduation video. We have really enjoyed the class, and to make a final video became sort of a memory of her puppyhood -- I´m so glad this was our assignment, I would never have put this video together otherwise.

    We would love “tricks for better thinking skills”.

    • LoLaBu December 5, 2013 at 14:56 Log in to Reply

      Cool, really well mastered tricks already!!! Love her slams and heeling! 🙂 Great job!

    Breeze and I were auditors in this class, but wanted to share a graduation video too as we had SO much fun learning all of these new tricks!!

    Breeze is 8.5 months old now in the video and the tricks are still a work in progress, but we are having a great time together! We didn’t quite make it to trying all of the tricks yet, but we will keep working on them 🙂

    Thank you Silvia for such a fun puppy class!

      Such a beautiful video of little Sam growing up in a really well trained boy! Loved the skateboarding clips and stays and slams -- and his frog is so cool! Let me know which video you want for graduation!

        Thanks, Sylvia! I’d like to get the Weaves video.

    I’ve been working with my two Vizsla puppies and enjoying every minute of it. Here is my graduation video.

      I’m interested in the heeling video. Thanks!

    • Steffi Trott December 7, 2013 at 18:13 Log in to Reply

      Awesome, and my greatest respect for training two puppies at once!!! 🙂

      • Sheryl Hohle December 7, 2013 at 19:17 Log in to Reply

        Thank you -- it has been quite a challenge having two puppies. I have enough experience, I can do it. Still, I need to make a video for people who think they want two puppies just so ‘the puppies can keep each other company”. The reality of managing two high energy 40+ pound hunting dog puppies is way beyond the average person’s skill set. The girl, Zeta, was planned, but the boy’s home fell through (for a good reason) and my husband fell in love with him. Fate has intervened. I would not recommend two puppies at once, but so far it is working well for us. Working on these tricks has helped keep the two in line and manageable. This has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me.

        • LoLaBu December 8, 2013 at 12:01 Log in to Reply

          Yes, really great job with both! I normally take 4 years between two puppies as already raising just one is quite a job! 🙂

    • LoLaBu December 8, 2013 at 11:44 Log in to Reply

      So cool to finally meet Zeta&Higgs! Great job with the tricks! Loved the enthusiasm for targeting, so cute!!! Great skateboarding too and no problems with distractions -- definitely off to a great start!!! Video sent!
