PROFESSIONAL SPORTING DOGS

Don't let nerves hold you back in competitions. At Animal Bonds, we help prevent the embarrassment of missed cues, disappointing performances, and the stress and anxiety of competing, by focusing on the mindset component of competition.

Mindset is 90% of success and it plays a large role in the joy (or frustration) you and your dog experience when working together. The Winning Handler's Mindset program teaches you what to do before, during, and after a competition so you can perform more confidently under pressure, enjoy the experience and bond with your dog.

Our Client's Experience

What our clients are saying.

Charlene & Burton Murphy

Burton is a finely toned athlete, a law enforcement agent, a highly skilled narcotics detection dog. Rounding out his career Burton has spent quite a bit of time competing west of the Mississippi in nationally sanctioned K9 scent work trials for sport dogs. Despite his box of ribbons, awards, and pins, he began to slip in his game. I tried everything, then I found Jamie. Now, Burton finally has a perfect team and animal meditation is an important part of it. I humbly and respectfully recommend including Jamie as part of any working dog's environment.

Valerie Wolf

Jamie’s workshop was a great discovery. We had been competing in obedience trials for years, when Draggo began missing cues. After Jamie’s workshop, I knew that would never be a problem again. I highly recommend this class for anyone that desires a deeper relationship with their sporting dog.
