Dear Silvia, the most inspiring person in the world 🙂
Thank you for the opportunity to join the fun, your course;) Thanks for incredible coaching style you naturally have. How people like you can exist? Just kidding 😀 Here is JESS’s graduation video. We love tricks we have learnt, some are Jess’s (and mine :)) favourite ones which can be simply seen from the video. Thank you, our classmates and your amazing dogs for letting us share your journey. The most important thing I would love to learn is to do things in my own, special, way… Well, sounds a bit nostalgic 🙂 So…. just want to add: HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY and exceptional 2014!!!!!!! Pavla & JESS
Thanks, but well, you sure did a great job yourself! 🙂 Really great team work! I just loved the side legs and a hug, so cool!!! Great handstand too! Let me know which video you want for graduation!
🙂 Thanks for a present after graduation! Well, I have already all your videos 😀 so maybe the next one? 🙂 Enjoy your perfect puppy To! 🙂
Sure! Just send me an e-mail when the next one is out! 🙂
I hope it will be soon 😉 Thanks
Hi Silvia, I have a question, I have trouble getting my dog to pivot on an object past me, so she doesnt do full circles around me. Im unsure what to do to resolve this. I have tried treating over the top of her when her back is too me, but that doesnt seem to get her past. What would you suggest to help?
You can also try tossing treats like Ann did with Bender -- go through the comments some as the class is actually over now.
Trying to post…
Here is my and Wikis graduation video! I did all the filming in one day because I had someone helping me, so she is a little tiered in some tricks, but I think she has a lot of will to work! Thank you Siliva for all your inspiration! I have been following you for almost 20 years and hope to follow you at least that many years in the future! 🙂 I would love to have the speed and conditioning video!
Here it is… rel="nofollow ugc">
By some reason it doesn´t work to put it in the frame!
So cool! Love her intensity! Great backing up, handstand and ring sorting and jumping up was just too cute! Figure 8 backwards, try so that she is backing up the whole time too. Great job! Video sent!
Hi Silvia,
I wanted to include more tricks on this video but inadvertently deleted my project in progress after having some memory issues. I’m glad I at least got this portion downloaded to youtube. I really enjoyed the class and appreciate your generous graduation gift? I’d love to have your agility foundations DVD. Thanks so much, and Happy New Year!

Great job with all the tricks!!! Great side legs and one object to another! Loved the crosses too! Video sent!
Thanks Silvia and congratulations on your new pup To!
Thank you for a really great course. We had lots of fun and learned heaps. We haven’t mastered all the tricks yet but will continue to work on them. Here is our graduation video.
I would love to have the foundations agility video. Thank you so much.
Dante sure mastered many tricks! Great video and great job with tricks! Really cool 2on2off, hug and ball rolling! Video sent!
Dear Silvia,

Can’t wait to see it! The rule is I send the links after graduation video is posted though, sorry…
Dear Silvia,
I am really late with posting. I wanted to make a systematic video with all of the exercises of this class, well, systematic didn’t work for me…some of the tricks are from this class, some aren’t, but all are Silvia-inspired.
I learned so much from your instructions on how to shape, and I had so much fun. Now I wake up every morning thinking “What can I do with my dog today?” 😀 Thank you, your class should be mandatory for every puppy owner! However, this would leave really little time for little To…;)
(first time I used music…hope it works)
Beautiful video and great job with all the tricks! And what a great attitude -- loved it! Let me know which video you want for graduation!
I would like to have Tricks for Balance, Strength and Coordination 🙂
O.k., sent! 🙂
