Senshi's Running Contacts (ENGLISH)
Senshi's road to running contacts op de the DW using a frame
In this online course, I'd like to show you how I taught Senshi the RC using the frame.
I've taught several dogs the RC in the past, but using different methods. However, I always ran into problems, forcing them to make adjustments due to circumstances during the learning process. Each time, we ended up switching to the frame, which seemed to be clearer for the dog each time.
This is the first dog I've fully trained using this method, and I wouldn't use any other method after this. It's a simple way of working with a high success rate for the dog. Senshi is naturally sensitive, so I was looking for a method with plenty of rewards, little pressure, and building trust. And yes, it worked without months of constant training and repetition!
