Running Contacts
Here we go again! Since it works so well that all the enthusiastic RC students can continue working on their RC without waiting for the next class, we are continuing with "Repeaters only" RC class - the next one will start on June 9, right after the February class closes. I run this class after every "normal" RC class (typically running twice a year) for continued feedback and support throughout the process.
Repeaters-Only RC class will start on June 9 and run for 12 weeks (no catch-up break), until August 31, so there is no gap before the next "normal" RC class that starts on September 3rd.
The only requirement for this class is that you took my RC class before (not necessarily the last class) and have access to all the lessons there. There are two different prices, based on whether you took the class with the same or another dog. There is no additional material in this class, its purpose is solely to offer continued feedback and support throughout the whole process.
You can register below and then enter the classroom HERE.
| Repeater with a new dog - 330 EUR (cca 380 USD)

| Repeater with the same dog - 280 EUR (cca 325 USD)

Hi Silvia -- Happy New Year to you. I am planning to take the Running Contacts class in February. There is one place it says that registration is open now, and one place it says Jan 20, so I wasn’t sure if I can sign up now, or should wait until Jan 20. Also, concerning the dvd, the new dvd is the one titled “Easiest Way To Running Contacts,” yes? A friend took the summer class and mentioned you had changed the matwork slightly from the video. So I want to make sure that is still the new video. Thank you!
Happy New Year!!! Registration for RC class opens on Jan 20. And yes, that’s the right DVD for it, the changes have been pretty minor. See you in class!
Hi again Silvia. I took the Running Contacts class in 2012 with Icarus. I have the new DVD and a new puppy. I want to register for the new session and wondered if I am eligible for the repeater price? Thank you!
REpaeters are only those taking the class again with the same dog, sorry…
Hi! I’m Elisa.
It’s my fisrt time, can I register without taking the DvD?
If you have the DVD already, then yes. If not, then no -- you need it to follow the class.
Silvia -- Seeker has a very good RDW with straight and soft turn exit, but we haven’t started the AF yet. Would that be something we could do in this class?
Sure, we can do that. But very likely, you won’t need the whole class for that as AF should be easy if DW is good… So if he can do the rest already, then you probably don’t really need the class…
Hi again,
When is the latest I can register for the RC class? Kip hurt his toe, and although it is almost 100%, I think we would probably miss at least the first 2 weeks of class.
Thanks
Oh no for the toe! I hope it’s o.k. soon… I leave the entries open for at least 3 weeks after we start, so you can just wait and see.
i have the dvd, how do i know if its old or new
If it’s Running Contacts that make you smile, it’s the old one. If it’s The easiest way to Running Contacts, it’s the new one.
Hi Silvia,
Just a short question, I already did the RC classe of January. Do I register as repeater for the July one?
Thanks for your answer.
Yes of course, you are a repeater.
Hi, when will start the next RC class?
Hi! Next RC class starts end of July/beginning of August.
Hi! Can I sign-up for the RC class that is starting in early Aug already? The webpage is still showing January so I wasn’t sure if it’s open for registration for the August class yet? Thanks!
Registration for that class is not open yet, no… -- it opens about 2 weeks before the class starts, so it’s best to check back then! See you soon in class!
Hi Sylvia. I was about to purchase running contacts. My pup will be 7 months next week. However, I’m wondering if I should wait until your next intake when she will be a bit older and have a better idea of directional commands etc. When would the next class be?
Next RC class will start in July. So I would actually start now to get the basics down -- I don’t worry about directionals until much later on…
