Course Details
Make no mistake about it, ALL dogs experience pressure when competing. They feel pressure from barriers, the environment, humans and even from us! When dogs feel pressure, they do not feel safe. The key to confidence is teaching your dog the skill of pushing through while in a positive emotional state. In this workshop I will introduce you to a variety of games and techniques that will help your dog overcome challenges that make them nervous. These games are empowering! The games will build confidence and resilience when working around a variety of challenges. Whether your dog is nervous and insecure or your dog can use a boost of confidence when under pressure, this workshop is for you.

I have been training and competing for several decades in a variety of sports including Hunt Tests, Field Trials, Nosework, Agility and Rally. My first love has always been competition obedience. I have been fortunate to win the AKC National Obedience Championship four times with three different dogs. (Click here for full bio and to view Petra's upcoming courses)
