However, Rachel herself doesn't recommend it and doesn't feel that it would be reliable. Nonetheless, she is keeping in touch with some people who are trying it out. One of the reasons she doesn't feel it will be effective is because her method promotes a certain striding which assures the dog hits the contact on an A-frame, but dogwalk performances have much more variation in striding so the consistency won't be there. Rachel's box is not a foot target in the same way as Ali Roukas' method. Personally, for a dogwalk I would choose either the Trkman or Roukas-Canova method.
