Who is this course for?
You’re a good fit for this course if:
Â
âś…Â You prioritize being the teammate your dog deserves.
You are ready to stop "winging it" at the start line and start showing up with the same presence your dog brings to the field.
âś…Â You understand that "scaling the scary" is a process.
You are willing to confront uncomfortable situations, knowing we will break them down into manageable, non-scary steps.
âś…Â You are done with "band-aid" solutions.
You have tried the YouTube videos and breathing exercises, and you are now ready for a structured, 6-week scientific approach to emotional rewiring.
âś…Â You value progress over perfection.
You know that "showing up every day" with patience is the only way to transform your cognitive response to the judge’s whistle.
âś…Â You want a repeatable routine, not a "lucky run."
You are ready to build a pre-run ritual that centers you, regardless of how chaotic the trial environment feels.
Â
You’re not a good fit for this course if:
Â
❌ You are looking for a "magic maneuver" to fix a mindset problem. This is a mental performance course, not a technical manual for handling front crosses or teeters.
❌ You equate "buying the course" with "fixing the freeze." If you aren't willing to do the weekly mental rehearsals and "Mental Movie" practices, you won't see the ring-side results.
❌ You expect your nerves to simply vanish overnight.
We don't eliminate nerves; we give you the skills to lead through them. If you aren't willing to sit with a little discomfort, this isn't for you.
❌ You want a "quick fix" for a 5-year habit.
Rewiring 4–6 years of competition anxiety takes 6 weeks of intentional practice, not a single weekend of "positive thinking".
❌ You prefer the "Safety of the Fog."
If you’d rather stay in the cycle of "I'm just a mess in the ring" than do the "unsexy" work of mental training, this course will feel too demanding.
