Running Contacts

duration
6 lessons, 12 weeks of feedback + 2 weeks of a break in between
requirements
- minimal age: 7 months
- minimal equipment: a mat to start with (and then access to dog-walk later on) and RC DVD
- minimal space: 15 m
- all levels welcome

January Running Contacts class, starting on January 10, is now open for registration! 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, so you don't need much room to start off.

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 DVD + a mat - like a towel or a doormat - and later on occasional access to a dog-walk, ideally one that can be lowered.

This class is 12 weeks long (+2 weeks of a catch up break in between) and starts on January 10, 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!

Please make sure your are registered and logged in before you proceed to paying with paypal - this will ensure you will get your correct access automatically.
participant (includes a RC video download link) - 310 EUR / cca 330 USD

in case you already have the DVD, choose this participant option - 270 EUR / cca 280 USD

auditor/repeater/2nd dog - 230 EUR / cca  240 USD (DVD is not required for auditors, but is highly recommended)

    Hi Silvia,

    Is it still possible to join as a repeater and “advanced” student? I think Jin and me needs still to work on different exits and I would be glad to get some comments or advices from you.

    Greetings Cindy

    Hi Silvia, If you wanted both a running contact and 2o2o, which is better to train first? and at what point would it be okay to start training the other one without threatening to lose or change the first one in the process? :s

      You can start with both, but only do 2on2off on a box/small platform and RC on carpet and then plank. You can add 2on2off to a plank/DW as well once you are working on RC on low DW. So RC first on DW as such and then add a stop as well.

      Oh, yes, she should understand by now, so we will see what to do to help her -- you will just post what you have at the moment and then we’ll decide how to proceed.

    Hi Silvia,

    from May on I have 10weeks holiday, so time to train yeah 😀 I will probably be able to arrange 3x DW training a week. Do you think it would be enough time, 10weeks 3x a week, to get from where we left to complete RC on DW? And then after june once a week AF, hopefully get AF in a couple weeks done?
    (I am thinking about doing handling foundations at the end of April, and then graduates to have your coaching on our RC in may/june)
    Thanks!

      Well, you know it’s hard to predict things, but normally it should be enough yes. Especially if you can do some work on a mat till then.
