A little over 11 months. I would have started sooner, but I didn't know anything about running contacts until my instructor came back from a private lesson with Syliva Trkman.
I just say "ah ohhh" in a sad voice and she knows that she doesn't get the reward (throwing the disc) and walk slowly to her. She eventually learned not to bother picking up the disc. Thanks for the compliment!
I love your videos. They are very helpful. I will start training like this with my BC puppies (13 months). They are very high drive dogs and I am curious to see whether it works.

Your running contact videos are really useful, thanks! I'm training my dog's moving contacts by backchaining.
