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

July Running Contacts class, starting on July 25, 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 July 25, 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) - 320 EUR / cca 350 USD

in case you already have the DVD, choose this participant option - 280 EUR / cca 306 USD

auditor/repeater/2nd dog - 240 EUR / cca  260 USD (DVD is not required for auditors, but is highly recommended)

      Hm, no, I don’t see your topic… Make sure you are on this page: https://www.lolabuland.com/forums/forum/running-contacts-class-january-2015/students/ and then scroll down, write toni&etc. as a topic title and then your introduction in next box and click “submit” -- that’s all!

    Hi, I have registered as an auditor in RC-class, is it possible to upgrade to participant?
    When trouble arrive I see the advantage of posting videos 🙂

    best regards Frøydis and Totiki

    Hi, my puppy will be 6 months Next weekend 8th of February, could I join to running contact classes? Or it’s too late for us. Thanks

    • LoLaBu January 31, 2015 at 16:41 Log in to Reply

      Yes, you can still join. You missed some weeks of feedback, but the class is on till May, so still plenty of time.

    Hi Silvia!
    I would really like to learn RC with my sheltie puppy but he is to young now. Do you also have a online class in summer? Or is this one the last for this year?
    Thanks!

    • LoLaBu February 8, 2015 at 10:30 Log in to Reply

  8. Judith Fenkart February 8, 2015 at 10:45 Log in to Reply

    HI,
    I just joined as auditor ( having got your dvd and realised i really need to see as much as possible to get my eye in).
    I know I am totally late, but could I upgrade ( will get carpet tomorrow!) as feedback to ensure my striding is so useful.
    Torrin just did your foundations -- he is a whippet, and loves to run!

    • LoLaBu July 1, 2015 at 16:33 Log in to Reply
