Submitted by Tracy Sklenar on Mon, 01/04/2010 - 17:07
We have added a series of clinics for late January! Check 'em out:
Raise Your Game - Mental Preparation for Competition!
Do you get nervous before going into the ring? Do you have trouble staying
focused while running the course or do you forget the course? You do struggle to
execute your handling plan? Do you worry about being watched by others? Do you
have trouble making a quick adjustment to save a run before it goes wrong? Do
you spend more time running to the bathroom on a trial day than walking the
course? Do you struggle to bounce back after a mistake or a bad run? Do you get
anxious before a "big run"?
Is competing more stressful than fun?
This fun lecture, discussion and Q&A clinic is designed to help you make the
most of your time in the ring as you learn to utilize proven mental preparation
techniques! You will learn how to get rid of butterflies, overcome nerves, stay
focused, execute your handling plan to the best of you abilities... and most of
all, have fun in the ring!! It doesn't matter if you are a weekend warrior in
Novice A, or if you are getting ready for the World Championships... or anywhere
in between - this will be a fun, informative (and non-judgemental!) clinic
filled with very useful information!
This clinic is appropriate for folks who are already competing or are getting
ready to compete - in any dog sport! Agility, Rally, Obedience, Flyball,
Schutzhund - and all the rest!

Under Pressure: Start Lines, Tables and Contacts!
Have you ever said, "But he can do it at home..." about your dog's start lines,
tables and contacts? Is your dog perfect in class or in your yard, but at a
trial she breaks her start line stay, doesn't perform the table or leaps off of
contacts? Does your dog slow down or lose focus at trials or miss criteria?

do in class or at home!
