Running Contacts


1h long, 50 eur/cca.58usd

Silvia Trkman's new DVD, putting a twist to her previous Running Contacts video - making the process shorter and easier on dogs' bodies and limiting the time on actual equipment to the minimum. It allows you to train anytime, anywhere and master turns, soft turns and straight exits with all possible handling after with just a mat and well before introducing dog-walk and A-frame. It

  • shorts the whole process by focusing on understanding right from the start
  • limits the work on equipment to the minimum by teaching it all on just a mat - meaning very little work on actual dog-walk needed
  • eliminates the tossed toy phase, replacing it with just handing the toy to a dog, so it's much easier on their bodies - but still allows you to work with lots of speed well before adding a dog-walk into the picture

It covers both dog-walk and A-frame and is appropriate for total beginners, retrains and all trying to improve their running contacts.

    I purchased the RC DVD. I don’t know if I’m allowed to ask a question but sometimes I have trouble with your accent and sometimes the background noise when you are giving the instruction.
    I am just beginning the turns on the mat. Do you give a cue for the mat or to go to the mat?

    Thanks!

      I use my general mat cue for the first session or two, but then switch to my left&right cues and use that to send to a turn on the mat. So I soon use exit cues only rather than mat cue as such.

    Hi Silvia,
    Kip’s RC has been good after finishing your classes, but the last 2 months he has started to be inconsistent and losing separation and reach on the last stride so he hits high or misses. I’m sure part of this is that we weren’t able to train as much but now we are training consistently and I’m not sure how to help him. Today he looked like he was striding normally up until the last stride, and then loses separation and reach and launches off. Any thoughts on troubleshooting?

      Lack of training doesn’t cause that no -- he must have hit the edge or slipped or similar to start avoiding the end… I would add a mat again, covering another 0,5m after DW as well to hide the end. Working on hard turns can help too.
