[...] Any of you that do decide to go, let me know and maybe we can all hook up for a meal before the event (trust me there will be little time to do it during the event). To find out more about UPW check out my blog post about it from earlier this year [...]

I begrudgingly attended at Tony Robbins semiar for work about 18 yrs ago…and ended up NOT wanting to leave the auditorium…and when I did, I wanted to set the world on fire! He has always been very motivating, and inspiring.

Susan,
This was quite insightful. It never occurred to go and see a motivational speaker. What a neat idea!

Yup…ditto on what Andrea said

I found my model
I’m pretty much immersed in it as far as I can get at this point
I return to Say Yes to learn everything I can, jam my brain chock full of new ideas & training solutions to take it all home & work on it until my next Say Yes Camp!

I’m grateful for you, Susan. For your inspiration that you share with us on a daily basis via your blog, newsletters, emails, twitter posts, etc.

I love this its just great! But, number 2 is Total Immersion and im only 16 so i dont have a chance to go to as manny classes as i want or to go to or all the seminars or camps that i want or to move near my models to be close to get “Total Immersion”. So does this mean that I dont have a chance of even starting to be very successful untill another 3 to 5 years? Agility is my whole life, and my dream is to someday be as great as you. This post is just great and probably true but #2 does make me feel a little down. I do love everything you say though! Always! I would love to hear if you had any tips on how to get more “Immersion” closer to home. Things like why’s to make do it youself tools or how manny days a week you should practice or websites to watch for helpful stuff. Love you Susan your just great!

I’m a big fan of both you and Tony Robbins! I’ve watched your “Bad Dog Trainers” YouTube many many times. It lifts me up big time! Thank you. Along with that one, your other YouTubes are also incredible. That “Afternoon Outing” is another favorite of mine. So I guess I can say you have become a big time agility/dog training model for me, and I’m immersing myself as much as I can in watching and learning from your techniques on-line, and have on my “to buy list” your videos and books.

Stepping away from the YouTubes to try what I’ve watched and coming back for more is a cycle I’ve been drawn into already. It’s addicting – both agility and the youtube/websites of those outstanding agility teachers/performers. It supplements what I learn in classes as our local classes are put on by volunteers from clubs. I’ve yet to attend an agility workshop, and wonder if you ever make your way to the Fort Lauderdale area? I would be first to sign up!

Eight feet of hot coals in bare feet? I’ve seen that on one of Mr. Robbins’ videos. He really knows how to get people psyched and in the right frame of mind to do mind boggling feats. Take out “people” and replace it with “dogs” and we have you!

Love the blog, and will be visiting it regularly. Thanks for reaching out to those of us who are out of your geographical vicinity. The Internet has opened up a lot of options and every little bit helps us eager learners.

I would love your thoughts on what Chris posted about working on full range of equipment.

Sadly, certain life/financial circumstances have gotten in my way of weekly classes – let alone taking any workshops.

But I definitely agree – anytime I’ve taken a workshop it’s been an amazing experience to be immersed in knowledge and practice…versus the weekly class.

My agility may be on pause right now – but I continue to do small things/foundation training with my dog with the home-made jump and 2×2′s I have…so when we are back full swing he hopefully hasn’t lost much.

This sounds like a great approach. I also find my progress at weekly classes is slower than I’d hope, and, although I haven’t made a seminar yet (you are coming back to Vancouver next year I hope!), I do find my greatest progress comes from using your DVDs, especially in days after I get a new one and “immerse” myself in some new learning.

I have a question though. I don’t have a full set of equipment – just jumps, weaves, and a kids tunnel. So I use classes as a way of getting on equipment regularly.

How often would you say it’s essential to get on a full range of equipment to keep performance solid for your dog?

Thanks,

And I love the new blog! It looks wonderful.

And your journey Andrea is a perfect example of how this works. The difference in your relationship with your dogs and your mastery of the skills from last summer to this one is like nighttime compared to daylight.

Find a model – Done

Total Immersion – hmmm, in process, but moving to Say Yes DOES sound like fun!!!!

Spaced Repetition – well I keep coming back so I guess I’ve got that covered too.

Yay!!! Thanks for posting, I can’t wait to hear more about what you learned.
