I can’t tell you how much fun I had doing this one line course. My biggest challenge was finding someone to video me and getting OCD making the videos. It was the perfect course to take with a puppy! It forces you to stay focused and play with your puppy and make them think! I LOVED IT! I thought you had a running contacts DVD, didn’t see it. So I would love the Cik Cap video since that was what we need to work on the most. Can I still audit the running contacts course?
Here it is! Hope you laugh & enjoy Lexus’s video! I sure do!" rel="nofollow ugc">
Sarah—I can’t see your video--it’s just a blank space. 🙁 It seems like all the video links with “http:/” instead of “httpv:/” at the beginning of the address do not show up on this website anymore. If you copy & paste the link from YouTube into the comment, then add a “v” after “http”, it should work.
Looking forward to seeing your graduation video!
Wow, AMAZING! That was lots of fun to watch, lots of great ideas (loved the rocky chair, a bowl on a wobbly board and those cavaletties are still too cute, loved the version with upside down bowls too, what a coordination!) and of course an amazing performance by little Lexus. Very very cool! And what a handstand!
Cik&cap is in your mail. And of course, you can audit the RC class!
Oh…WOW! What a great video! I can see it now--think it was my computer, not your link. 🙂
GREAT tricks & wonderful video editing--so much fun to watch! You’ve definitely “raised the bar” for the rest of us making our graduation videos! 🙂
I still say this is the cutest dog in the world! GREAT video and great job training her!!!! Wonderful!!
Sarah, what a great, amazing video!
Fantastic! Great job with everything. You’re a great team!!!
Lexus is super cute. Her 2o2o is amazing! Love the cavaletti, too!
What a lovely video! I loved watching Lexus and all the tricks. You two really did master so many of them. Great job.
Hi Silvia, even when we have time to hang up the videos graduation??
Would be good to do it in a week or two, but actually, it doesn’t really matter when you post it.
Tricks for better thinking skills please. Thanks again! Tammy
Hi Silvia,
Here’s Harley’s graduation video shot in one epic session plus a short one to add the finishing touches! We had a lot of fun, I would be sad that it is over but there’s agility foundation and RC..! Look forward to the advanced tricks class but will do it after the other 2 classes.
Thanks for a great class!
I have all your dvds although where they are right now I don’t know as we have just moved! At this stage I don’t need a duplicate but if I have lost one, can I let you know then?
Great job!!! So nice to see Harley’s tricks too and the Siberians were just too cute, what an enthusiasm! And sure, you can get duplicates and also the next video when it’s out! See you in Foundation and Running Contacts!
How lovely to see the cameos by a “non-traditional” (for obedience/tricks) breed! The huskies are gorgeous! 🙂
Here is my video for Puppy 2 with my BCs Breeze and Cricket. I tried to keep it as short as I could ;=). We had a GREAT time with this class and we still have a lot we are working on. I am very excited to be continueing in the Agility Foundations. I have bought all the DVDs so it would be FANTASTIC if I could get the next one you release when it comes out. Thanks for such a great class!
Great job! Great tricks and they sure seem to enjoy their tricks a lot!!! No problem getting the next one, just send me a mail when it’s out.
Ah, border collies — so enthusiastic! 😀
So fun to see how much Cricket and Breeze learned throughout this class!
No video for us -- because of the music….
Well done all three of you! I sure will miss this class and all the classmates…
Here is my video. Like all of my classmates I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY enjoyed this class! You are an amazing teacher!
Thank you,
Mara
I LOVE IT! 😀
Very very nice! Beautiful, beautiful video, well mastered tricks and it sure looks like you’re having lots of fun! Let me know which video you want to get!
Thank you Silvia.
I also have all of your videos to date but would be happy to wait for the next one!
Mara—What a beautiful video! I actually saw your video a couple of days ago when a BC breeder that I have been corresponding with about a puppy sent me an email with the title, “LOVELY!!!”. I clicked on the link & there you & Leia were! I agree, it is “lovely” with a wonderful message at the end.
Great job training too!!!
Thanks Kathy! How funny that someone outside of class sent you my video.
Haha, what a tiny bowl for 4-in! And what amazing distance on backing up!
PS I want to go to the beach with you!
What a touching and beautiful video and message. You captured what this class is all about and put it into words. Beautiful 🙂
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this class!! I loved it! Bean loved it! We had so much fun and learned so much from you, Silvia, and from all of our classmates! It was so much fun making this video -- and I was amazed and proud of all the things we did! I would love to continue our tricks with Tricks for Better Thinking Skills. Thank you and I look forward to many more classes!
Diane and Bean
That was AWESOME you two!!!!!
Oh, Bean is just too CUTE!! And so famous for her “Bum’s Up” 🙂 Watching her catch on to it so fast right from the beginning is what inspired me to keep working this trick with Elsa 🙂
GREAT job!!
Wonderful! The famous Bums Up inspired a lot of us!!!!!!
Very very cool! Great job with all the tricks! And it sure shows you are both having lots of fun! Your video and a certificate are in your mail.
Heehee, I laughed at the other dogs trying to join in. What nice frog legs — my do completely forgot how to do that one after we hadn’t practiced it for a month. 😛 And what great control on the handstand!
We LOVED this class! Thank you so much, Silvia. We got so much more than tricks out of your class! 😀
Kristin & Da Vinci
(and Cash & Callie)
Great Job Kristin!
It was fun to see Cash and Callie too.
I LOVE DaVinci’s high legs heeling!! So cute!! Great job!
Kristin, you’ve been busy! Training all 3 of your dogs to do these tricks…WOW! It was fun to finally see Cash & Callie. GREAT job!!!
Great video, great job, really amazing you were able to take all the tricks so far with all three dogs!!! Let me know which video you want to get!
I think it would be fun to continue with his heeling so I’d like that video. Thank you for the graduation gift! That is very generous of you. This class has been such a wonderful experience. Between the tricks, the relationship building with my dogs and the friendships that emerged, I feel blessed :D!!!!!
Thanks! It’s in your mail…
Oh Kristin, I can`t watch your video because of the music. Is it possible for you to post it without music a second time? Thanks Birgit
All your dogs look so happy to be working with you! 😀
Amazing job! (Loved the video effects too) Kristin you did a wonderful job with Da Vinci, Cash and Callie. Da Vinci, Cash and Callie sure do look like they are loving learning all the tricks. See you in the other classes 🙂
Here is our graduation video. This class was the BEST! Elsa & I totally loved it & had so much FUN! Looking forward to the next class!
THANK YOU, Silvia!!!
Kathy & Elsa
You and Elsa did an amazing job.
Love her enthusiasm!
Elsa is a beautiful dog!! Great job!!
Excellent! You two work so well good together!
Always a joy to see Elsa work/play! 🙂 Let me know which video you want to get!
Thanks Silvia! I would like Tricks for better thinking skills, please. Very cool graduation present—Thanks so much!
Elsa looks so grateful and in love with you. You are a nice team
In Germany we can`t watch many of the videos here. Your video too………..
it´s because of the music you used………..
You really completed so many of the tricks! Very flashy. 🙂
I loved your video!!! Elsa has such wonderful speed and enthusiasm for working with you. You can tell how much she just loves it. (Loved the scenery too! I’m jealous as is Maia 🙂 )
Hi Silvia,
here is our graduation video. We totally loved our time in your class and it is very sad that it ends now. Hope there will be another possibility to learn from you in future.
Not all in the video is taped in the final version and there is also a lot of work to do. Unfortunately I became sick a few weeks ago and I have to go to the hospital tomorrow. So I had not so much time to train with Finja. E.g. our skateboard is standing untouched in the corner. But we will catch up the time in 2 or 3 weeks 🙂
Thank you for your great job. I like to have the video “Tricks for a great bond”
Nicole + Finja
Great job!!! Very cool to meet Finja too! I sure hope you’re back from the hospital soon, I’m sure Finja will miss her tricks! 🙂 The video and a certificate are in your mail.
Thank you for your comment 🙂 I am back from hospital today. Unfortunately the download-link you sent does not work. Download time limit expired.
Is it possible to send one link again?
Sure, I’ve just sent another one! Glad to hear you are back!
Thank you 🙂 Now the download works
Not so much time…but all these tricks…whow…….I laughed when she showed the crossed paws -- super cute!!!!
She is really glued to your leg while heeling! Very cute.
