Xtreme Foundations
To keep Foundations class graduates busy and to be able to follow them further, we'll be starting with Xtreme Foundations class on January 16! Foundations class is not a requirement though - anybody with a dog with basic foundations is welcome to join! Please note I only hold this class once a year, so it's now or in 2026... Mastering foundations first is not needed though.
Inspired by courses getting harder&harder year after year, allowing only either the fastest handlers - or those with best-trained dogs!!! - to survive - and motivated by all my students who are real Foundations pros already and just can't get enough of classes... 🙂 - here comes a great class for you!
We'll be following Xtreme Foundations DVD program:
It's especially appropriate for:
- teams competing or aspiring to compete at the highest levels
- slower handlers with fast dogs who need independence even more
- anybody enjoying training dogs, looking for even more fun challenges
The class requires minimal equipment and space - you can do most of the exercises with just 2 jumps and 2 tunnels, but of course, you will need weaves for weaves lesson and at least one contact obstacle for obstacle discrimination lesson.
This class has 5 lessons and is 10 weeks long - each lesson is 2 weeks and we'll also have a 2 week catch up break in between. We're starting on January 16, but you can register and then enter the classroom already now.

Hi Silvia, do you think Kenya ( just did running contacts and in foundations) can do this class next?
Oh yes! I have no doubts she will do great also in this class! 🙂
Thanks Silvia, see you there…
Hi Silvia, will there be also an repeater option for this class? Think Cube and I (ok, especially I 😉 ) could need some more “kicks in our asses” for all the stuff we couldn’t manage until now 🙂
Yes, of course, there will be repeater option for next class. You will be a real Xtreme pro then! 🙂
Yeah, perfect! 🙂
Hi! Oh no, I think I managed to sign up for this class without being logged in… Used PayPal in my husband’s name -- Daniel Nyberg. That’s me if you find the payment
Hello Silvia,
on which date will be the break begin?
Xtreme will have a late break, starting end of September.
Oh damn … i hoped the break would be in my vacation, but now it seems that it is directly after it.
So I would loose two weeks 🙁
The classes are really long, so most people lose some weeks from that or another reason, but that’s o.k., that’s why we have catch up breaks.
Hi Silvia,
Is there an Auditor + Video Download price option ?
Thanks !
No, but you can get it for the same price -- just mail me for money request after registering as an auditor.
Hi Silvia:
I would like to audit…if I sign up for that, do I get access to the Extreme foundation DVD? Thanks,
Anne
No, the video is not included in auditing price. But you can get it separately for the same price as participants.
Ok…is it too late to get a working spot for Extreme Foundations?
No, you can actually still join! It will close in a couple of days though.
I know it’s not time yet for the Extreme Foundations class and we will be doing Beyond Foundations first anyway, but I was thinking I might go ahead and get the DVD at the special rate. Anyway, my question is, does EVERY lesson or set-up require a contact obstacle or just one of them. I can sometimes do facility rental, but I often practice in my yard which is a tighter space. I am trying to figure out if I will be able to do some parts of extreme foundation in my yard without a contact obstacle. Thanks!
No, most Xtreme set ups don’t require contacts. Only 1 chapter does.
