Seminar Feedback

So much good stuff happened but I guess what I am most proud of is that I took what I learned last weekend into training this week and into the ring today.  It paid off in huge dividends.  I was calm, breathing and having f.u.n. !   Thank you for everything last week.  I believe!!! (Carolyn)

Fantastic Seminar!!! Thank you Brenda for coming east and sharing your knowledge with us!! Hopefully we will be better, more focused and less anxious, partners for our dogs . (Bonnie Burman)

I learned so much at your seminar about the role stress is playing on my ability to be a good leader and coach for my dog in training and competition. I now understand that working on my mental skills is as important as training my dog. I came home motivated to practice my mental skills every time I trained.  (2018 Attendee)

If you want a fun, engaged, competition obedience focused mental skills seminar - THIS IS IT. I loved attending with my students and have been working to incorporate these skills into not only my own mental management strategies, but teaching them to my new students. If Brenda is there - GO! If she isn't, BRING HER IN!  (Matthew Twitty)

Brenda's awesome!  (Linda Koutsky)

It was a very good seminar, well organized and Brenda i svery knowledgeable .  Participants who had a working sport had their eyes opened up and realized how they feel affects the dog. (2018)

Brenda really helped me find problems I was causing by being nervous..I was not even aware of them. (2018)

I just wanted to let you know, I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from folks who were at your seminar.
I've been practicing the skills I've learned. I can already tell a difference in my visualization.
I can't wait to try it in the real world!

I really enjoyed Brenda Riemer's Mental Skills Seminar "Conquering Ring Nerves". When I walked into the seminar I was quite surprised at the number of handlers attending.  I couldn’t believe there were so many others affected by nerves just like me.  The atmosphere was very relaxed, casual, and I felt completely comfortable.  What I love most about the seminar is Brenda gives a very organized (and yes at times comical!) look at a variety of techniques for you to explore to see what works best for you and calming your ring nerves.  I also love that she encourages you to think about your goals and helps in getting you to unclutter your mind so to set yourself on a path towards achieving them. Best of all… she is there for you should you have questions, or need support in the future.  Great fun and highly recommended!

 I am still in awe of the feelings and sense of accomplishment I felt two years ago sitting in the chair as you talked me through my preparation for the day of show and then the Novice run with Rupert that had me in tears!  That confidence I felt with my eyes closed was just amazing and I carry that feeling with me at the shows.

The seminar was fantastic!  You presented valuable material in a clear and organized way, and had a great way of doing it.  Everyone in dog sports should try to get to this seminar if you can - you just can't deny the importance of the mental part of the human half of the team.  The coached run throughs were my favorite part.  Brenda, thanks so much for coming to PA!!! (A. Paul, 2016)

The material presented was clear and concise.  The presenter was very knowledgeable on the subject matter - was extremely professional and addressed questions and individuals needs. (2016)

Appreciated the perspective to think about the positive things that happen in the ring instead of dwelling on what went wrong. (2016)
