Centered at the Start
By Holly Newman

Insist on a “centered” start-line performance, whether at home or at a trial, for both you and your dog. Visualize and center your positive energy near your core. At trials, you’ll notice your energy level may rise into, or even above, your head with nerves. For a more focused run, try to move the nerves into your core before you start — visualize moving the nerves below your heart, to your stomach, channeling your energy through your feet. For your dog, remember that if you reward a break at the start by continuing

on course at a trial (even if you don’t reward the behavior at home), your dog will learn he can behave di erently at home and at trials. At the very least, stop all movement for 3 seconds and turn away from your dog—the best option would be to leave the course altogether. And recognize that young dogs may not have the con dence to allow for as long a lead-out at an unfamiliar trial site as they can handle at home, and adjust accordingly. D
