English In this paper, we consider the following problem: given a connected graph G, can we reduce the domination number of G by one by using only one edge contraction? We show that the problem is NP-hard when restricted to {P6, P4 + P2}-free graphs and that it is coNP-hard when restricted to subcubic claw-free graphs and 2P3-free graphs. As a consequence, we are able to establish a complexity dichotomy for the problem on H-free graphs when H is connected.
