Greetings, Silvia!
Well, it’s a darn good thing you gave us some time to get the graduation videos done. First I had to replace my video camera, then it didn’t work with my computer. So I got a new computer. And THEN I head to learn a new movie program. Well… at last… I got Hootie’s graduation video done. We just loved this class and can’t wait to learn more tricks!
Here’s the link to Hootie’s YouTube video:
Thanks so much. We loved it!

Great job!!! You two sure mastered those tricks! What a cool hug and what a fluent figure 8 backwards! Sorry to hear about all the trouble with a video, teaching the tricks sure sounds much easier! Let me know which video you want for graduation!
Thank you, Silvia, for your kind compliments. We have more to do on all of the tricks to get them mastered, so that’ll be fun, too. I’m excited to get another of your videos — thank you so much for offering that still! I have all of your non-tricks videos. So which of the tricks videos would you suggest since we’ve already done the Puppy Tricks class. I’m tempted to join the Advanced Tricks Class, too! So… you tell me which video would be best and I’ll be thrilled!
Thank you, thank you. I’m telling everyone I know to visit Lolabuland.com!

O.k., then I’m sending you Thinking Tricks, my favourite one from the three tricks videos 🙂 Thanks for spreading the word, Hootie is sure doing a great commercial with all his tricks! 🙂
I’ve got Thinking Tricks now, thank you so very much! Can’t wait to get started with those. In the meantime, I’m getting so very many wonderful comments about Hootie’s graduation video. They just keep on coming and coming! And I know a lot of those folks are now headed to your website -- -- who wouldn’t want to do this with their dog?!
Thank you again, Silvia! You’re awesome.
It sure is a great video! Great job with teaching him all those tricks and with editing!
WOW!!! That was incredible! Great job with all the tricks & video editing! So great to finally meet Hootie! He is so handsome & smart! And Zephyr says HELLO to his fellow redhead! 🙂
Thank you, Kathy & Zephyr! Hootie sends High Fives your way! Boy, was that a fun class, or what? Have you considered the Advanced Tricks class, too?
Yes, I plan on doing the Advanced Tricks class with Zephyr once we master more tricks from this class. Zephyr still can’t balance in “sit up” yet. 🙂 I’ve been doing Adv. Tricks with my other dog, Elsa. It’s a great class & we’ve learned so much! And it’s an open class so there’s no deadline to finish which is wonderful! I think you & Hootie would love it! Hope to see you there! 🙂
I know we’ve already done our graduation video but I just had to post this cool picture of Sammy doing his sit-up. It was taken by my friend Melissa Wilson
Cool, what a great sit up AND crossed paws! 🙂 Too cute! He looks ready for Advanced Tricks! 🙂
HELLO,
I am glad to send you herewith my graduation video.
I am sorry for the delay, but I have been working on some tricks that I couldn`t fully master….
I want to thank you all for all these months of hard work and shearing experiences.
For my “graduation present” I would very much like the “Speed and coordination” video (that is if I don´t fail!!! 🙂 )
Oh, Trono looks all grown up now! And he was such a little puppy when you started! Great job with the tricks, loved the door slamming and side legs look really cool already too -- loved those side legs try in between the heeling! 🙂 Great progress with heeling too! And he sure loves his box trick, that was too cute! Sending the video right now!
Juli, que nieto tan divino y tan listo tengo!!!! felicitaciones. Me encanto el detalle del trabajador ayudando a tener el palo 🙂
thank you very much!!! I really appreciate having receivd your coaching while he was growing up. I think he not only grew phisically but also intelectually. Its amazing who quickly he grasps new tricks now a days. I’m sure we’ll see you again shortly in Agility Foundation once I get to master the rest of the tricks of this course.
Thank you for the video!!!
Great, looking forward to see him in Foundations!
Hi Silvia,
Congratulations on your win at the EO!!! Your run with Bu was amazing! I think I’ve watched it at least a dozen times 🙂 watching for all the things you teach us in AF class lessons! So cool to see it all together with a GREAT handler & dog! I can’t wait to start your next AF class with Zephyr!
And speaking of the little red head…he just turned one year old & I made this video to celebrate his first year. It’s sort of a Puppy Class “post graduation” video. 🙂 I can’t thank you enough for your wonderful online classes!!! Zephyr certainly wouldn’t be the dog he is today without all your help &guidance! THANK YOU!!!
Kathy
Yes, every course is just a string of foundation exercises… -- And Bu sure knows them well, so it’s extra easy to run with her!
Very cool video! Loved the shots from the boat! -- And his heeling and all his tricks, of course! 🙂
