Ring Stressed!
Unleashing the Potential in Stressed Performance Dogs
Are you competing in Agility, Obedience or Rally? This is for:
Dogs that stress up (over-aroused with focus issues)
Dogs that stress down (shutting down, slow)
Dogs doing OK - you want to know how to avoid stress
Dogs not competing yet - you want to stay ahead of the curve
Is stress negatively impacting your dog's performance? It's estimated that 50% of all performance dogs experience too much stress in the ring. This cutting-edge class is for dogs who are sensitive to triggers in the environment. Physiological change occurs causing a stressed up or stressed down reaction.
Signs are: check-out, get worried, sniff, shut down easily, barking, spinning, goes slow, flying all over the course, over-arousal or not performing in the ring as well as in training.
You'll learn how to identify and manage triggers with Threshold Management. You'll learn how to keep your dog in their thinking brain through innovative strategies to increase their comfort level in the ring setting, manage their arousal level and maximize their potential. The goal is to improve and maintain Canine Mental Resilience. We'll also discuss how to minimize your stress levels.
I teach and advocate positive reinforcement methods through Reward Based Training.
