Thank you for the class, Silvia! I wasn’t an active commenter, but my puppy Tanqueray and I learned a lot. Can I have the agility foundations video?
Sure, but I send the links after graduation video is posted.
Ack, there is a reason I only audit: self-consciousness! We are still working on some tricks, and I don’t have video of others. Here is what I have--is that ok?
Here’s Madde’s graduation video, Veera and Väinö got to star in the video too 🙂 I included cik&cap as multiwrap, first time on 60cm, and “go-go” as running DW 🙂 It’s been really fun with all the tricks, still lots of work to finish them all though. Thank you Silvia! See you in other classes 🙂
And oh, I do have all your DVDs, so I want the next one, what ever it’ll be 🙂
They are sooo cute at the opening and ending clip!!! 🙂 Great job with both tricks and the video! The coin in the piggy bank is sure impressive -- and so are her RC!!! O.k. for the next DVD then, just send me a reminder mail then!
Wow, this is SO cute!!! Great job! Congrats!
So many amazing graduation videos already. I just can’t wait to show mine! Its almost done, just need the weather to behave so I can film the last outside bit 🙂
Glad to hear Muffin is o.k. now!!!
yes it took a bit of time but he is all back to his happy lively self again 🙂
That’s great! 🙂
Thank you Silvia for your amazing class… so much fun !!
Here is Puppy-Smoke graduation videos… not very formal, but we learnt much more than “just” a list of tricks !! 😉
Smoke is so cool!!! Great figure 8s backwards and heeling! Let me know which video you want for graduations!
I’ve got almost all your DVDs… 😉 The last one about slalom would be great 😉
O.k., sent!
Thank you !! 🙂
Here it is: our graduation video. 🙂
This class was so much fun and I learnt a lot about my new little one! Thank you Silvia for your advices and ideas and thank you all classmates for your great videos- I sure learnt a lot from you, too!
We didn’t manage to work on all tricks so there is still enough work for us to do…perfect for long and dark winter evenings. 😉
And as we want to do RC class, I would love to get a RC DVD.
So cool!!! Beautiful heeling and wow -- impressive speed on cik&cap!!! Great job with all the other tricks as well, Florine is such a cool little dog! I think you said she is out of Anor -- and who is her mother? See you in RC class -- video sent!
Thank you, yeah it’s so much fun to work with her and in our training hall (where we can train agility once a week in winter) she even ads more speed. I’m looking forward how she will develop. 🙂
Her mother is “Elli” Elisée Chuken sakura no kuni. You can see her here: http://www.bassia.de/unsere-hunde/elli/
Beautiful Ellil!!! ‘Chuken sakura no kuni’ is Japanese name, meaning ‘royal dog of cherry blossom country.’ I would love to have a Pyr Sheps someday, but there aren’t many in Japan maybe only 5-6 Pyr Sheps… 🙁
Thank you for the translation! I always wondered what language this is. And now I’m wondering why a breeder in Germany chose a japanese kennel name for a french breed. 🙂
Pyrsheps are so cool but it was really hard to find a face rase breeder- even in Germany…
I’m sure she will do great!!! Thanks for the link!
Sie ist voooool cool 🙂 und ich liebe ihre Farbe! 🙂
Dankeschön! Ja, das fauve-gestromt kommt bei ihr ganz toll raus, das gefällt mir auch sehr!
Thank you! Yeah, her colour is really cool because the fauve parts are that strong. I love it, too. 😉
Thank you so much Silvia for your fantastic classes. I am so pleased with Bing, he has come on from being a screaming naughty puppy, to becoming a very smart, bright and affectionate pal 🙂 We have a shorter and longer graduation video, the longer one contains video right from all stages so you will have seen some of it, while the shorter one is just some of his most recent games.
Here is the long version!
So cute -- looks like little Bing did some growing! Great sit ups and heeling position! Let me know which video you want for graduation!
It took a very long time to get the sit ups! I’m just sorry I didn’t have time to capture all the things he has done, thank you so much for your great courses and feedback. I have most your videos except for the weaves, I would love to have that one please! Thanks again.
O.k., all sent! Hope to see more of Bing in other classes!
Here is Hynynen’s graduation video 🙂
H did have a little accident (a deep cut in a hind leg) last weekend, so some tricks i supposed to shoot, couldn’t be done. but so cool bandage he has 😉
We’ll see on foundation class in april and i’m thinking RC too. Thank you Silvia 🙂
Great job! Really cool figure 8 backwards and leg lifts -- and too cute on that skateboard!!! 🙂 Let me know which video you want for graduation! Hope to see you in other classes -- Foundations won7t be in April this time though, but a bit later, not sure yet when.
Ou nou! Lucky me that i’m on this foundation october class too, so i can do those things already by myself 🙂 I’ll send you some email this evening cause i need some other videos too…
O.k., great, then just follow that program, I’m sure he will do great! O.k. for the mail too! 🙂
Hienot pääkallot <3
Here is our video. I’m not too good with editing and making videos so there is no music, that was over my skills… We didn’t probably finish any behaviors with Hurja but I am very happy that I had the opportunity to work with her during this class. She was over 10 years old when we started and I think the class has made her younger, so much fun we have had! Thank you Silvia!
And we’d like to have the Tricks Video, we are all looking forward doing some more training 😉
Always fun to watch Hurja work -- she always looks so enthusiastic! And young! 🙂 Great hind feet awareness in all the tricks and really cool figure 8 backwards! Let me know which video you want for graduation!
Finally!!!
I managed it 😀
Thank you for the class, it was sooo much fun and we learned so much! 🙂
I would want the Foundation Video so we can do something till the next Foundation class!
Greets
Great!!! Loved the skateboarding, side legs and that free handstand!!! 🙂 -- And above all, her enthusiasm and intensity! -- Such a cool little dog! Video sent, see you in next class!
I love your video, Lisa! Great job!
