MENTAL PREP

December 11, 1 to 5pm.

Dawn Fougere, a talented psychologist and agility enthusiast, will take us through the ins and outs of mental preparation techniques, including relaxation, breathing, visualization, how to respond under pressure and be in the moment, and more. We'll also have a chance to run a few sequences to practice these techniques. Here's a message from Dawn ... Hi, I am Dawn Fougere, an aspiring agility student who enjoys playing the game with my dog Hunter. In my non-dog life, I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist who works with children, adolescents and their families. I specialize in anxiety disorders. My mental game has helped me when trialing with Hunter and keeping my focus when otherwise I could have become discouraged. I would like to share these techniques with you to help keep you focused and smiling through your trialing and training experience." " These are powerful tools for anyone interested in the sport of agility. Join us for "Relax, Breathe Through It", followed by a pot-luck Christmas get-together. $48 plus tax ($55).
