Running Contacts class open for registration!
August Running Contacts class, starting on August 13, 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 aspects 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 August 13, 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) - 330 EUR / cca 350 USD |
in case you already have the DVD, choose this participant option - 290 EUR / cca 310 USD |
auditor/repeater/2nd dog - 240 EUR / cca 260 USD (DVD is not required for auditors, but is highly recommended) |

Dear Silvia,
I would like to register my dog and me in the online RC course. Hope it still possible. Before i do that i have one question -- he is an almost three years old dog who has a pretty nice straight RC but has trouble with turns / outs. Eg when out jump follows after the DW he is struggling to hit the zone. Thats why I am looking for advice and would like to join the course. The question is: it is still possible to do DW with him during the common agility classes, or do you recommend just working on the mat/target only during the course and after the course starts slowly returning again on full DW?
Thank you for your reply.
Sure, you can still join! You can keep using DW normally in classes and trials, just try to avoid situations that make him miss -- and focus on working on those scenarios in the class.
