Contacts Made Easy
DVD by Rachel Sanders ©2012
Are you unhappy with your dog's 2-on/2-off contact performance or are you starting to train a new dog for agility? Rachel Sanders has developed a clever method of teaching a 2-on/2-off contact that does not rely on teaching a nose touch. Instead, it uses simple garden fencing and a travel plank to help teach the dog his end position. The foundation for the methodology begins away from the agility equipment and can be started with a puppy as early as 12-14 weeks of age. The program also addresses teaching the dog proper weight shift and body mechanics to ensure his is performing the 2-on/2-off position efficiently and with little stress on his body as possible. The chapter on problem solving Rachel covers a number of problems, such as coming off the side of the plank, stalking at the bottom of the plank, lack of speed and failure to stop in the competition ring. 1 hr 51 minutes.
