Running Contacts
August Running Contacts class, starting on August 21, 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, 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 21, 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: https://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?
I don’t get paid for another week 🙁 Is it OK to start 1 week late?
No problem! See you then! 🙂
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
All fixed now -- see you in class!
