I have grouped the Featured Resources according to the method that people are using. It’s a general grouping of the resources. It doesn’t mean that any particular method is being followed precisely by the trainers.
Trkman Method
Silvia Trkman’s Website
Sylvia has a lot of information about her running-contact method on her site be sure to check out her FAQ, an ongoing list of questions posed by people trying her method. Her video page has a number of videos of her running-contacts with La Bu and Bi. One video shows different stages of teaching Bi turns after the dogwalk.
Training Blogs, Diaries Etc.
See the process over time. Watch trainers overcome their problems. See what you might experience yourself if you decide to train Running Contacts for your dog.
Trkman Video Compilations
Some people have compiled clips of their dog at various training stages. These serve as condensed versions of the training diaries. There are lots of examples of different training areas and equipment. There are people with lots of equipment and many with “a plank and some bricks”.
Miscellaneous
Various resources that don’t fit into the categories above.
Roukas-Canova Method
Mountain Freaks Agility
Ali Roukas-Canova has a great DVD covering her method of training running-contacts.
Sanders Method
Fast Forward Dog Sports
Rachel Sanders has a DVD of her method for teaching a running A-Frame. At the moment Rachel is not advocating this method for the dogwalk. However, many people are experimenting with her method on the dogwalk anyway.
