First, I report-out on how my weekend went when I made FUN my process goal. Next, I share that I was glad I paused and chose my response to someone who inadvertently pushed my insecure button (yup, I have one!). I was super happy I had the “pause” tool in my kit!

One of the clear things that separates elite handlers from struggling ones is mindset, of course. Specifically, they have a growth mindset and believe that with effort, they can improve. Let’s all be more like elite handlers and adopt a growth mindset - I’ll show you how.

We can gain a LOT of confidence and clarity by looking backward in the *right* way. This week I challenge you to give yourself a little credit for how far you’ve come and create a framework from which to improve in the next 90 days!

The book I reference: The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. Several formats are available, and there’s a workbook too.

In business, one of the most common cliches I hear is, “What does success look like?” It’s a fair question when approaching a project and it made me wonder about how that question applies to dog sports. Let’s try to answer that question for you, your dogs, your upcoming trial, and the year ahead.

Performance anxiety. Ring nerves. Butterflies on steroids. No matter what you call it - or to what degree it happens to you - we all get a little nervous when we step to the line. But why? And how can we manage our nerves so they don’t get in the way? Glad you asked ;)

It seems appropriate that we spend a little time talking about the power of gratitude in honor of Thanksgiving weekend. Gratitude is one of my favorite ways to lift myself out of a funk and science says it works so, there’s that! Plus I am super-grateful for all of you!!!

Having trouble focusing, or remembering courses, or just generally staying present is a pretty common challenge among my clients. With so many things vying for our attention in any given minute, it’s no wonder we remember to bring our dog to the trial! Thankfully focus is a skill we build.

Sometimes we put too much pressure on a single run. Sound familiar? I call these runs “the precious” after the precious ring in the famous tome. Sometimes runs become precious because we don’t play that sport very often. Other times it’s because we only have a couple trials left to get a title. It comes down to the pressure we put on any given run and why. Let’s have a chat about it!

We rely on our reward systems a whole bunch (treats, toys, etc.). Yet when we walk into the ring, it’s just us and our dogs. Is your relationship strong enough to see you through a tough moment in the ring? We tend to repeat our relationship style because it’s what we know - makes sense. Meanwhile we know that every relationship is unique. Let’s dive in!

Do you remember the first time you walked into a ring to compete? Were you doing it for fun? Were you carefree or completely afraid? The thing is, we no longer feel that exact same way - we have a lot more experiences under us. What once terrified us, now is no big deal, yet we have new fears each time we level-up. Stress has it’s own evolution, but the good news is you’ve made a LOT of progress!
