FromDaisy: When I heard that rubber contacts were being used at the 2006 World Championships, I was keen to learn more about them. I couldn’t find any place in the USA that sold such a product. Finally, I was put in touch with Lyn Sayers, who had designed and was selling a product in New Zealand.
I ordered a kit for my seesaw, and through that exchange, began the process of becoming the sole distributor of Contactacoat in the USA. I am proud to sell this product, as I believe it greatly increases the safety of the dogs while travelling at high speeds across the contacts, sometimes with not so great approaches.
I am happy to report that Contactacoat now meets the requirements for obstacle specifications for multiple agility organizations. I am looking forward to seeing more and more rubberized contacts!
