This podcast is a little different!
In just a few days, we are heading to one of the year's most important Canadian Agility Championships. So, the time has come to think about the mindset and mental game needed to set ourselves up for the best chance at success!
In their last class before the trip, the McCann Clan asked me for a pre-competition pep talk! So, late last night "After Class", I did a brain dump of all my thoughts! With this quick turnaround, I decided to jump into the studio to share this pep talk with all of you! I thought it might be helpful to listen to on the way to a competition. 
I HOPE YOU ENJOY & Remember, YOU GOT THIS!

Most nights after teaching classes, they will spend HOURS talking about training, different trends, future goals, current challenges and how they plan to conquer them! These talks are often accompanied by some red wine and lots of laughs! So, whether you're new to Agility or competing at a World Class level, they are excited to have you join their conversation!

I’ve always dreamed of competing at the FCI AWC (Agility World Championships) with a dog. Dogs age, health and team requirements have always prevented me from getting the chance. Finally with my greatest agility dog to date, I was chosen to represent Canada at this event.  


I trained and prepared intensely for the toughest competition I'd ever experience.  I flew all the way across the world to the Czech Republic with my dog.  Unfortunately, before the event, I learned that I would not be allowed to run due to Bee-Line not making the height requirements.


I wanted a chance to speak about exactly what happened. 


Huge thanks to the Agility community for all your support during a very difficult time.
