Loving the Midlands!

Well I'm just back from Nottingham which was a GREAT experience! I'll be back again in December too, so if you missed out this time and want to join in next month, get in touch! And if there's nothing public in your area soon, why not gather a few friends and organise a weekend of your own?

If you want to improve your Mind to Win, then I'l do my best to help you! Email me at mindtowin@gmail.com today!

New clients, new venues...

Sooo what's new in the world of Mind to Win?

Well, new people are coming on board to work on their Mind to Win and the interest is from folks in different places and with differing levels of technical expertise and experience- VERY exciting stuff!

A group of rock stars in N. Ireland just finished a series of Clinics and what blew me away at the last [video] Clinic we had, was how different they all sounded from when we'd started out. As a therapist, I think there are few things more satisfying than when clients not only start getting where they want to go, but- even better- can see how far they've come and celebrate that! Fantastic work and a ton of credit to the trusty band of handlers who've been determined to improve their competitive mental strength for their dogs' sake, never mind their own!

As we hurtle ever closer to winter, it looks like I'll be doing more Clinics in Nottinghamshire so if you're within travelling distance and want to jump in on any that are being organised (and, duh, have free spaces), then please "follow me" to hear about it there first.

As for N. Ireland, there'll be another video night/Clinic coming up in the next couple of months and a "For your Dog's Sake" Clinic at The Patch (Ballyrainey Rd, Comber) so I'll get the dates of those up here as soon as they're finalised.

Follow me to stay in the loop!

Mini Confidence Clinic for new competitors

In N. Ireland, the All Ireland Winter League is fast approaching and no doubt there's a fresh crop of new handlers getting ready to make their competitive debut at it. If you're one of them (or if you train people who are), here's an opportunity to practice under competition conditions whilst getting some help with any areas of nervousness or stress, PRIOR to competing.

We all know that "prevention is better than cure", so take this chance to make sure that your first competitive experiences are really good ones (even if they include spectacular eliminations- perhaps even because they do!)

Saturday October 15th 2011 from 2-4pm at The Patch, Ballyrainey Rd, Comber is where the Winter League is held. Come and take part in a fun competition (with gorgeous rosettes, of course), gain hints and tips and get a feel for what it's like to compete against other starter handlers like yourself.

Cost for this mini Confidence Clinic is just
£15 so sign up today by calling 02895 811402 or email mindtowin@gmail.com
