Audio Ring Nerve Program for All Dog Sports
CD: Relaxation & Concentration

The first in the series based on our popular Seminars & Workshops consists of a 62 minute audio cassette and a 40 page Training Manual.

This program is designed to help competitive dog handlers ease performance anxiety, enabling them to achieve success and enjoy the passion they have for competing.

The audio is comprised of mind/body exercises and techniques that will train handlers to lessen muscle tension, relax, concentrate, focus, and stay in the present. Also included is a Stress-Buster and Guided Imagery which teaches handlers how to mentally rehearse from pre-show preparations to the actual event.

The manual consists of four parts:

• Part I, Reminders and Training Tips, and all the exercises except Guided Imagery.
• Part II contains a Goal Setting section.
• Part III contains a Personalized Training Program.
• Part IV has a Diary for analyzing the mental and physical aspects of competing.
