What Did
I Learn?
By Dr. Kathrine McAleese
When something doesn't go to plan, what is your attitude? Be honest-and remember, when we're talking,
there's no shame, and I have zero interest in blame.
I'm asking this question so that you can see where
you've been up until now and to help you do better by
being kinder to yourself and freeing yourself from any
limiting beliefs in the future.
ment. Put another way; you are focused on what you
got out of it, rather than what you put in.
So, what is your attitude when things go wrong, or
your plan goes awry?
Did I do my best with what I had to give in that
moment?
Do you beat yourself up?
You may be tired, fighting illness, or dealing with work
stresses, relationship, or financial worries. You may
be hungry, dehydrated, hormonally challenged-good
grief; there are myriad variables in what you have to
offer at any given moment, let alone how many variables there are when we add your dog into the equation. And, all that is before we consider the dynamics
of your partnership with that particular dog!
Do you look to blame others?
Or
Do you look for what you can learn?
It is all too easy to take your results as proof of how
"good" you are as a person, but how can any result
actually measure your intrinsic worth? You will know
if you are basing your worth on your results if your
thoughts have a flavor of "I am... rubbish / not good
enough / a failure /stupid / too old..." or anything else
that uses "I am" type language.
If you find yourself getting frustrated when you are
not "perfect," or you make a mistake, then I dare you
to question why that is. It is not that you are so ambitious and have such high standards. It is not that you
are not good enough. You are frustrated, at least in
part, because you're focused on the wrong thing.
You are focused on the outcome as a benchmark,
rather than the performance you put in and where that
sits on the scale of what you had to give in that mo-

What does that mean?
It means that rather than asking, "Did we win?" or "Did
we go clear?", you begin to ask yourself a different
question:
So again, ask:
Did you do your best with what you had to give in
that moment?
This pulls you out of the "worth" trap (finding your
value, or lack thereof, in your results), the comparison
trap ("Well, of course, that handler beat me. I can never match up to them."), and it gives the clear round/Q
gremlin a kick too ("I haven't had a clean run in three
years, eight months, and two days!")
It also acknowledges that this competitive journey is
not linear, and no matter how consistent you become
at bringing your excellence to the start line, you remain human, and your dog is still not a machine. And
that is okay.
