Saturday, August 5 – Create a Powerful Mind for Peak Performance – Practical strategies to implement immediately and create a difference in 5-10 minutes a day.

Sunday, August 6 – Getting the Same Dog in the ring as in Training

We all know the feeling. Our dog is brilliant in training, wonderful at a match. Warms-up beautifully and then, as soon as we enter the ring, we have a completely different dog! Learn Petra’s formula for overcoming this problem.

Strengthen Your Mental Game, Part 2 (part 1 is not required to benefit from this opportunity)

Improve Your Obedience Training and Ring Performance

Wednesday, June 21, 2017

1:00 – 3:30 pm

Jeannine Rash, multi-OTCH trainer, realized early in her obedience career that it isn’t all about the dog. She routinely relies on mental development opportunities to fine-tune her training and ring performance.

PDTA invites you to a 2.5 hour event for listening (CD) and discussing Brian Tracy’s, The New Psychology of Achievement. He is considered one of the world’s leading experts in the personal development industry.

  • Develop a rock-solid self-concept based on the latest research in Positive Psychology
  • Get on the fast track to achieve your goals faster than you ever dreamed possible
  • Discover how to set “flex” goals which are adaptable
  • Eliminate time and productivity wasters
  • Master a foolproof 12-point formula that quadruples productivity
  • Learn how to nurture your most important relationships

Jeannine will discuss how to utilize these techniques to become a better dog trainer. It’s also going to make for great conversation! This seminar is suited to everyone. If you are disappointed in your progress or lack self-esteem for training and showing, this activity is essential for your future success.

Date/Time: Wednesday, June 21 from 1:00 – 3:30 pm. After the event, you are welcome to use the building to train. Doors will open at 12:30 pm for setting-up as the event will begin promptly at 1 pm.

Dogs: Well-behaved QUIET dogs are allowed to attend. It is critical for all students that dogs are kept quiet.

 Bring a notebook, pen and an open mind. Bottled water and light snacks will be provided. Feel free to bring your own snacks or enough to share.

Fee: Jeannine is asking for a $15 donation towards the building and snacks. If you attended the first session, you owe nothing for this opportunity.

Registration: While drop-ins are welcome, if you plan to attend please register so there are enough chairs and snacks. To save your spot, email Rebecca Elliott at dogsrfun4rae@gmail.com
