We tend to think we need to be confident before we do something, but itâs just the opposite. We become confident as we hone our skills and gain experience. We can accelerate our confidence by picking up and applying some simple skills, and perhaps by embodying someone really cool. Letâs break it down.

Lately, itâs a theme with my coaching clients - they are focused on their process goals when they walk into the ring, but they are measuring their success by the outcome when they walk out of the ring. Whoops! When we do that we negate the progress we are making and can cut down our own confidence - yikes! Letâs fix that!

Many of us run multiple dogs at shows and itâs not the easiest thing to switch our mindsets when we trade-out dogs. Sometimes we carry over what just happened in the ring to the next dog which doesnât always work. Or sometimes we are just really thrown by how different the dogs are. You know I like to unpack things, so letâs get started!

We talk about sooo many topics related to developing a strong mindset, yet most can be sorted into these 5 buckets. A strong mindset is the sum of very learnable skills, all of which can improve your confidence and consistency over time. Mindset is a handling skill - time to treat it as such!

I talk a LOT about the importance of rituals, and within those are your âcrate-to-gateâ routines. Who better than Cara Armour of Startline Pod to break down the components to help you create the ultimate routine?

When we make other things, events, people, dogs ⊠better than ourselves, we make ourselves less-than. Obviously, thatâs not good for our confidence, imposter syndrome, or ring nerves (just to name a few!). I get it, big events ARE big deals - but we deserve to be there. And yes, there are other better handlers out there, but theyâre not judging your journey. Letâs knock down some pedestals!

Recently I entered a conformation show which also hosted CGC and Trick evaluations. While we came home with all the right ribbons, my day could not have felt more disconnected from my young dog. I was so in my head and worried about my own handling that I completely ditched her (energetically that is). Learn from my mistakes!!

We joke about our personal patience, yet we know we need patience when it comes to dog training and even our own mindset development - it takes time. Contrast that with our ambition - all the goals, hopes, and dreams we have for ourselves and our dogs. We want what we want and we want it now! How do we balance patience and ambition? And is patience the key to getting everything we want?

If youâre hungry to learn and level up your handling, youâre likely seeking out various instructors and experts to learn from. Seminars, online courses, group classes, private lessons, and even podcasts could be helping you OR making your brain swim in overwhelm. Being a total nerd myself, I will always advocate for the opportunity to learn, but there is such a thing as too much input especially if you arenât putting it to use.

Letâs face it, things rarely go as we plan them. In these moments we can either have a complete meltdown or shrug it off and move to plan B (or C). While our responses are likely somewhere in the middle, we could all use to be a little more adaptable and accepting of the many variables in our trial environments. Here are five ways to get you started being more adaptable.

While so much of our performance mindset can be practiced without our dogs, sometimes we need the real thing - or as close as we can get. Finding ways to mimic the trial environment not only helps us, it also helps our dogs, AND it helps us understand how to respond to our dogs. In this episode Iâll share several ways you can mimic the trial environment or any environment that triggers you so you can gain confidence.

It turns out that going after a feeling is more powerful than pursuing an outcome (blame the researchers). We want a new van not because the seats fold flat but because of how it makes us feel - secure and safe, for example. This is true for our outcome goals, too - we want the title because of how we will feel when we get it. Thereâs also a âpredictability factorâ that plays a role. Letâs unpack all of this!

I love watching elite athletes be elite. Regardless of the sport, watching people be amazing will never get old for me. The Olympic trials have been playing out across multiple sports and in addition to terrific performances, I am obsessed with their mindset habits. So obsessed, that Iâve made a list of seven habits Iâve observed that we can all adopt!
