Default Speaking of Contacts

I am in love with Rums.

She isn't doing full height yet. but her understanding of her job on the
contants is fabulous. She has 2o/2o on all.

I used a combo of Linda Mecklenburg (free-shape the 2o/2o - Rum has never
seen a target, and would have no idea what to do with a lid) and Wendy Pape.
Wendy is fabulous for contacts, if you want to hit a seminar.

I used a board and just trained Rum to run to the end of the board and stop
in 2o/2o. We worked with me in different places (I usually toss her
reinforcer out in front of her after her verbal release). And with me
sending her from greater and greater distances. I am very very pleased with
the transition to the actually equipment. The behavior is incredibly strong
by this point as she had done so many board reps and goten reinforced for
it.

I actually did have to stop working contacts as she has a BAD case of
contact suck - we are starting short (2 to 3 obstacle) sequences - jump jump
tunnel for instance.

I know most people won't go to the trouble, but ever dog I want 2o/2o is
going to be taught this way.
