On line classes proved to give GREAT results, better as any seminar, as I can provide feedback on the whole training process - and give you immediate feedback on a training session you just did, so you have all the answers before next session.

Hi Silvia. I am trying to figure out which class would be best for Fizz. He took the running contact, puppy tricks, and foundation classes and is now 18 months old but is not ready to compete. I have not put it all together. I don’t think I have done enough course work. Which class do you think I should enroll him in? Redo of foundations or running contacts? Or beyond foundations or graduates? I feel like I have so much to train still! Thank you for your help. I think he is getting close to be ready to compete but there is still a lot he needs to learn…
If his contacts are good, then I see no need for another RC class. You could do Xtreme though? Or another Foundations yes and just focus on putting it all together. Beyond would be good too -- but it doesn’t include any contacts, in case you want sequencing with contacts included… Looking forward to more of Fizz, he is just amazing!!!
Thanks, no his contacts are not completely trained I need to train all exits, and entries. But I guess I know what needs to be done. I just need to do it. Let me look at X-treme. It sounds too difficult, but maybe I can just try to break it down into what he can do. I will enter either X-treme or foundations again…Thanks again 🙂
Sounds like a good plan as you can do some RC in Foundations as well. And there are really never too much of foundations!
Hi Silvia,
I just wanted to tell you that Kip and I entered our first competition last week and Kip’s contacts were great! Also his focus and enthusiasm continues to improve and he didn’t lose focus once at the trial! I’m so pleased! Super Kip

Yay, so happy to hear the good news! Go Kip!!!
Hi Silvia,
Like Victoria Jones and Fizz. Bug is about 16 months. We have taken Puppy Tricks, Foundations, and RDW.
Bug is at full height DW (and A-Frame) and her hits are great with straight on and straight off (and decent with soft turns).
We haven’t mastered all entries and exits. Discriminations at the end are not good at all, she takes whatever is straight ahead.
Would you recommend another RDW class, or Extreme Foundations?
Thanks,
Ruth Thompson
I would recommend Xtreme to first master discriminations away from DW -- the transition is easy then. Looking forward to more of Bug -- she is sooo cool!!!
