It's really hard to comment on this since vid is really short. It's not very clear....

The way I understand there is though of making DVD out of it but for now it is VOD with rough editing which can be obtained from website. I am only aware of Rachel Sanders DVD for running AF so thought of Linda teaching pure shaping with clicker running AF is great idea IMHO
I have stumbled on it because I had difficulty carrying message "run deep into the yellow" and it helped us a lot. Probably not for total noobs but great for "clicking" people and can be used as stand alone or combines with other running AF teaching.
P.S. Special is the name of the dog I understand so Linda playing words

Barb Davis also has a running contact dvd. Someone I have trained with around here got the vod and liked the method. I'm going to buy it and see what I think.

My training partner and I have both used it as a method of training running contacts. We should have made a video!

I'm just so so happy that I have a sheltie w/ perfect natural running contacts on A-frame I've spent zero time on training it and he always touches contact zone, no matter what I'm doing. That is like the only obstacle I don't have to worry about, lol
I'm afraid what I'll do w/ my future dog(s)

I train a running dog walk, my first running DW dog (now 8 yrs old) was consistent but would miss the odd one, probably about 4 times a year. I learnt from him and my next running DW dog is truly 100% - she never, ever misses. The DW training transferred easily for both of them to the AF, never had to teach a running AF it just happened.

Having said all that I put in a lot of training on the DW!
