  • Mindset matters a lot!

    This podcast considers what we tend to overlook, our mindset. If we are not in the right place mentally, that can affect what we worked so hard to achieve with our dogs. We are half the equation, and our dogs not only need our head in the right place to get us into the right events, but they need us to be strong mentally for them. They know when we’re off and that can make the team suffer.

    Julie gives insightful, practical, and actionable advice on how to get our heads where they need to be fo... more

  • Exactly What I Needed

    I discovered this podcast at just the right time. When I listen, it’s as if Julie is speaking right to me. She breaks things down in a very digestible, actionable manner. I walk away with ideas to implement from each episode. I love the humor Julie brings - a little levity to something that I can get a tad too serious about. Thank you Julie!

    Just love everything Julie talks about. Many people think agility is just about teaching the obstacles but then you get sucked into the game and realize how much mental management is required.
