- minimal equipment: a mat to start with (and then access to dog-walk later on) and RC DVD
- minimal space: 15 m
- all levels welcomeRunning Contacts class is now following the new, Esaiest way to Running Contacts DVD of course! The major difference the new program brings is that most work is done with no equipment and just a mat: working on turns, soft turns, straight exits and various handling before any DW work. The rest all stays pretty much the same, just that it goes much faster that way as the dog knows how to hit at full speed in all possible exit scenarios already before adding the dog-walk into the picture.
Here are some graduation videos of dogs from the previous classes. I chose different sizes and only those who started from zero so you can see how far they got in less than 4 months:
The class is appropriate for total beginners (from 7 months old on), retrains from 2on2off and all who have running contacts already (even if not trained with a mat), but want to work on various exits or any other aspect of RC - all the feedback is completely individual, so all levels are welcome. I will also publish all the lessons right at the start of the class, so you can continue from wherever you currently are.
Minimum age for this class is 7 months and the minimum equipment is now just the new DVD + a mat - like a towel or a doormat (and later on occasional access to a dog-walk, ideally one that can be lowered) and enough room (living room is enough for very first steps, but then you will have to take that mat to a yard or park and work there).
This class is 13 weeks long (+2 weeks of a catch up break in between) and starts on January 26, but you can register already now and then enter the classroom HERE.
Please note that only those who took this class with the SAME dog before qualify as repeaters!

Hi Silvia,
Can I just get the download link instead of the DVD? Where do I click for Paypal?
Laura
Yes of course. This is RC class page, but you can buy a download here: http://www.lolabuland.com/training-videos/running-contacts/ -- select 2nd payment option (blue button, saying “purchase now”).
Is there a way we can sign up to get notice when registration opens for the RC class in Mid-January?
If you follow me on Facebook or join Lolabuland Graduation page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/2136800446575530/ you will certainly see it there!
I’ve just finished the payment because I really came to like your approach. It really works! This time, not Jake but Lino and I’ll aim high! I’m ready! Whe can I download the video?
Yeah -- more fun ahead!!! I’ve just sent you a confirmation mail with all the links. See you in class!
I don’t get paid for 1 more week. Is it OK to start this 1 week late?

Hi Silvia, I did something super silly. I did not login before I registered for running contacts. Is it possible that this class can be added to my account. So sorry for the inconvenience. Taryn
