Mentally & Physically Prepare Yourself

to Show Your Dog

Learn how your own mental and physical preparedness can influence your performance in the ring.

Live Webinar: Wednesday, September 17th at 4pm PT / 7pm ET

Showing your dog is more than just how you prepare your dog. You also need to mentally and physically prepare yourself - the handler! - to enter the show ring.

This includes knowing how to deal with your own nervousness, perfect your posture, demeanour and confidence, have an awareness of what's going on around you (at all times), how you adjust your presence and gait to match your dog's - and so much more.

Topics will include:

  • How to stay calm in the ring
  • Dealing with nerves before and in the ring
  • Confidence in the ring
  • Your overall presence in the ring
  • Having a different presence or demeanour with your different dogs
  • The importance of posture
  • Your attire in the ring and what this portrays
  • Your attire in the ring and how it can affect your dog
  • How to overcome mistakes and problems in the ring
  • Always have an awareness of everything around you in the ring
  • Mentally prepare yourself before you enter the ring by watching every aspect of the ring procedure
  • Your persona - what you wear, how you act - outside the ring can influence how you're perceived inside the ring
  • How you act towards your dog outside the ring and inside the ring
  • How to evaluate and make changes to your own gait
  • How to adjust what you are capable of to match what your dog is capable of
  • and more!
