Coping With Nerves


 Share

Recommended Posts

gsdog2 - a bit of perspective for you:1. Your not playing for sheep stations;2. Win or Lose you still take the best dog home again with you at the end of the trial; 3. Its about having fun and making the most of an activity you enjoy; AND 4. You ever know when for whatever reason the time you step in the ring might be your last so go and enjoy every second of it and cherish the moment. Its my new motto and really does help with the nerve factor. Pass or fail your dog will still wake up the next day and all it will remember is that it had a great day out with mum and got to play the game and anything else is a bonus.

Great post! Im particularly fond of Point two :)

I'm thinking I need to make myself a list (from this thread) and read it on the day of Indi's first trial - and yes, I'll be highlighting point no. 2 :)
