DVD - Contacts 360 - Amanda Shyne
Amanda Shyne's Contact 360 Seminar was broadcast live on June 26th,
2009. This is the resulting 2 Disc Set DVD with approximately 4 hours of content from the 5 hour seminar. Also available as VOD, see the related links. Click on the video thumbnail below to see the trailer.
I (Eric Larson) personally was very
impressed with Amanda Shyne, she was great presenter and a ton of
original ideas that I had never seen before and if I was still actively
doing agility would implement them in my contact training. The greatest
value was how she separates the individual portions of a contact
behavior and strengthens them. Resulting in wicked fast contacts. And I hope to work on more projects with her in the future.
Amanda
Shyne is the '07 and '09 USDAA Northeast Regional Grand Prix winner
from the 22" class. She was a 2008 USDAA Nationals Grand Prix and
Steeplechase finalist, placing 3rd in Grand Prix finals.
In this
seminar Amanda showed how she trained the consistent and lightning fast
two-on-two-off contacts with her dog "Dilly" -- and showed how these
contact skills can be used to improve ANY kind of contact behavior, such
as the running contact of her young dog "Gimme." Along with training
two-on-two-off contacts, this seminar covered:
* Teaching contact entries and exits
* Speed over the board
* Training a fast, happy, and reliable teeter
* Proofing your contacts
* Contact problem-solving
This
video is great for anyone who wants some tips on how to speed up a dog
on contacts -- as well as for those people who have fast dogs and need
to add some control and reliability!
Here's what a few participants and live seminar viewers had to say:
"I
have a student with four-on-the-floor contacts and have trained my
young dog to do confident and independent running contacts. I will be
using the types of skills Amanda presented to further my training
program and improve all of my students' contact training skills." --
Katie Trachte
"I got so many cool ideas and have lots to work on! Amanda was truly terrific!" -- Tara Baggerman
"Love
it. One of my agility students is there...they are on their way to
being a really great team. I've picked up a couple of exercises which
is great! This is a bargain for sure." -- Debra Kiley
