I may have an opportunity to purchase an almost new Contact Trainer (small A-Frame/Dogwalk combo).
Is that a wise investment for our small backyard practice? I have 6 jumps, a table, weaves and a tunnel that I switch out.
We just completed our first trial in Novice B. In class we’re training stopped contacts but I would prefer running contacts. Thank you
If you want to have stopped contacts, I think this could be a great addition. But I do not think it will be at ALL useful for running contacts. I believe you really need a full dogwalk to teach running contacts because it is so dependent on striding.
I have trained the stopped method and he is overall too slow on the A Frame & DW. He is in the habit of perching for about 4 secs at the top. No momentum at all! Is it possible to retrain him using the running contact? Or will this cause more problems. Thanks!!

I started with a 2o2o, but now I like a 4-on stopped contact. I think it’s easier on their backs and shoulders. But 4-on is definitely harder to maintain criteria than 2o2o. It helps to reward consistently at the bottom board with something sticky like spray cheese or peanut butter that keeps them there thinking about it for a while.
