Hi,
This is our graduation video.
Silvia thank you very much for your always available help…for your patience and for helping us to improve every day. I love the online classes I would be lost without them :). Can we have the video tricks of tricks for balance strengh and coordination?
Very cool! Great job with all the tricks! -- And the distractions! 🙂 Video sent!
p.s. -- Don’t forget to NOT reward not wanting a toy with food (2on2off part)!
Thank you for the remainder.. I have already forgotten! :)… You see, always helping out..!! 🙂

Thank you Silvia for all your help during puppy tricks, I really enjoyed it. Here is my graduation video of what Kanzi and I have learned. " rel="nofollow ugc">
We have a few more of the tricks to learn but I hope we have done a enough to graduate 🙂 We will keep working on them and looking forward to getting going with foundations now.
Thanks for all your help -- I would love the Cik and Cap video download please,
Well done to all my classmates -- it was really helpful to see the videos from others and to learn from them,
Thanks
Yvonne and Kanzi
my link seemed to disappear from my last comment -- hope it appears now
Very cool! Kanzi is so cute with all his tricks! Great heeling position! Sending you the Cik&cap video!
Thank you so much Silvia -- can’t wait to see the cik and cap download 🙂
Hi Silvia,
Here is Badger’s Graduation video, we had such fun making it this weekend that it made me realise we did actually learn a LOT of tricks! Most of these were shot this weekend, sometimes the first time Badger had done them outside of the house. I couldn’t believe how sucessuful he was. The class has been really, really good for me and great for Badger. It was more than I hoped for. Seriously, the time you put into these classes and then give us a free video at the end, we are very lucky to have you online 🙂
Love to all my class mates who I learnt so much from too. I hope all the broken dogs recover and all the dogs go on to be great performance dogs.
Penny & Badger
P.S. Video I would like is running contacts please thanks. It feels like Christmas 🙂
I love your stunt double ! Great inspiration 😉 well done 😉
Oh oh, i’ve just understood why i was very fond of your puppy, he’s a son of Stig, Stig is a full brother to my dog 😉 So “double like” 😉
No way!? That is amazing. The Stig family makes great puppies! I love them. But surely the puppy we see on the videos in this class is not Stigs brother? Or is this from one of the newer RedxWill litters? I love the name Ready to go fast. hehehe.
Yes, he is from the last redxwill litter, not from stig’s one.
Born 5th of december 2012.
Thanks for the name 😉 great idea of the breeder from mine, wanted to call him Go Fast.
gah, I LOVE this and I adore Badger. Well done Penny Pants!
Nice job, love The Badger. 🙂 Your creative licence cracked me up and I adore his enthusiasm!
What a cool video!!! And what a cool pup -- and trainer! Great job, lots of fun to watch! RC video sent.
This was just wonderful to watch! 🙂
This is so much fun to watch! And I love the fast happy rhythm of Badger and of the video 🙂
Hey everybody!
I know I haven’t been as good as most of you with posting our progress of learning, but this technology stuff was driving me crazy :). So thanks’ to all of you for posting and sharing your videos and of course to Silvia for all her advice and directions! I learned a lot from all of you 🙂
So here is our graduation video, I hope you enjoy it.
The DVD that I would like is Ready-Steady-GO!
Very cool!!! Dee sure mastered many tricks! Too cute sit up and very cool position transitions! And wow, great free handstand already and great figure 8 backwards!!!
Beautiful video and gorgeous puppy and such beautiful tricks!
🙂 thanks Penny! You and Badger did grate too!!
Gorgious! 🙂
Ok here is graduation video. It’s longer than I wanted, but not only first online class but first time used I-pad was this course. I’m very proud of Zapp and all he has learned! Thanks so much, Silvia.

Oh yeah, I think we could use the Ready, Set , Go video!
Sorry, missed the link for video above.
Great job! Loved the handstand and hugging the end sign -- too cute!!! You both did great! Video sent!
Got the video! Took a couple of tries. Thank you very much. Also I so enjoy watching your competition runs that you post.
Sue
Oh great! And yeah, the only problem with trial videos is to find somebody who has time to video it, with that many dogs…
Finally done! Thanks so much for everything -- this has been a great learning experience!
I would love to get my boyfriend to train our ‘distraction dog’ using the heeling video please!
Oh! I forgot so many tricks -- hugs and cik/cap and picking up objects! Well… we sure had fun anyway!
Great job! Sit ups and handstands are certainly much harder with big dogs -- but he doesn’t seem to know that 🙂 -- He can sure do it all! Beautiful heeling as well! Video sent -- happy heeling!
Hi Silvia! It’s not only puppy class tricks I have tried to learn during those months, it’s also to make videos!! My graduation video is not fantastic and it’s not a lot of tricks but more of “having fun” 😉 Thanks you so much for your comments and hard work to give us all good feedback! I think this long distance class was much much better than I thought it could be. Gasa and I will continue with all the tricks you gave us to do until we make them ok 😉
I bought your foundation video and enjoy it very much! For graduation gift I want speed and conditioning 🙂
Thanks for this time!!
A-L& Gasa
Great job!!! Love her enthusiasm -- and she sure has the cutest sit up!!! -- And beautiful heeling position! Always fun to watch Gasa, I hope to see you in another class! Video sent.
Thanks!! Yes she is sure a happy dog and I will struggle to keep that 😉 Hopefully I will join a foundation class after summer if you start one.
Have a nice summer with your dogs Silvia!
Oh, great! She will make a great agility dog!
Gasa is so lovely! She really makes me want to have a pyrenean shepherd as my next dog. 🙂
Thanks Sofia! Yes pyrenean shep’s is a lovely breed but not as “easy” as they might show 😉
Hi Silvia and classmates. Here is our graduation video. Still lots of room for improvement (for us both), but I am really happy with her effort and enthusiasm. A special thanks to everyone for their videos and comments throughout the class. As an auditor, they were very helpful in showing us the best way to do things!
Thanks for your excellent instruction and fun class, Silvia. I’m sure we will see you online again very soon. We would love to have the Ready, Steady, Go video.
Karole and Tag
So cool to meet Tag -- she is doing great!!! Love the dramatic effect she adds to her tricks -- dead dog and one object to another are just hilarious! 🙂 It sure shows she is having fun! 🙂 Hope to see more of Tag in another class! Video sent!
