Stand UP!
If you've ever wondered how to deal with negative competitors, bullies, aggressive ring stewards, coaches abusing their authority, gaslighting peers, or even your own inner critic, this course will help.
When you know how to hold your ground, or speak up for yourself, how to set boundaries with class and authority, the world looks at you differently.
To perform at your best, you need to feel confident you can handle anything, not just dog skills, but yourself.

Tired of your confidence being influenced by outside forces?
To be a truly confident performer, you must:
- trust the choices YOU make
- be unaffected by negative remarks
- know your values
- be able to set boundaries with peers and coaches
- stay emotionally neutral
- be able to stand your ground when being gaslighted
- not covet the acceptance of others
- know when to stand and when to walk away
- learn the art of detachment
...otherwise you are always compromising so make others happy, running scared, trying to do things *right*, afraid of making mistakes or making someone unhappy.
I'm not saying you should be looking for a fight or being a selfish jerk. Standing UP for yourself actually makes you stronger, more confident, and more empathetic.
Most importantly, you develop the strength of character to perform for you, instead of for others.
Do you do any of these things?
DO YOU:
Back down when challenged?
Tippy-toe around bullies?
Avoid tough conversations?
Struggle to set and hold boundaries?
Feel conflicted about what you respond to?
Get easily made to feel bad?
Try to stay out of trouble?
Try to keep everyone happy?
Try to get people to like you?

THE LOBBY
MEET YOUR CLASSMATES
In the Lobby, we start out with discussing the things you want to learn from class, and the challenges you want to overcome.

MODULE #1 (Apr 7)
YOUR MISSION, IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT
We develop a picture of the leader you would like to be in your life, and how that leader would act in different situations, the kinds of decisions that leader would make and under what conditions. What are they willing to risk?

MODULE #2
STRATEGY
Making decisions you can trust. Recognizing situations that may require action from you, whether it is internal conflict or external, such as bullying or gaslighting, a risk assessment of engaging, knowing the tools available to you to set boundaries and how and when to use them, based on your avatar. Possible avatar revisions.

MODULE #3
THE TOOLS OF ENGAGEMENT
Learn more about using the tools of engagement, how to be prepared, hold your ground, and how to use your speech, body language, and tone to increase or diffuse energy, diffuse false arguments, and how to disengage when there is nothing to be gained.

MODULE #4
PRACTICE AND APPLICATION TO DOG SPORT
This module is a practical application of different situations. You will get to practice in different contexts and present different situations for discussion.

JOIN NOWDIRECT ACCESS
This course gives you several ways to learn with me.
There are 4 live events (with replays), direct with me to ask questions, so I can personalize the information to your situation in real time.
I answer comments and questions underneath each lesson, which gives you time to process your questions and my answers.
You are always working with me, not an apprentice coach.

SPECIAL COURSE CONTENT
Bonus formats so you can learn anywhere, anytime.
Video Replay and Lifetime Access!
In case you can't make one of the events live. And even if you do, you can continue to reinforce your learning anywhere. Plus, when the live portion of the course is finished, you can still refer back with lifetime access (as long as I'm around!).
Transcripts and Workbook
The transcripts are for readers. Use them for quick reference, note-taking, and additional retention. The workbook is for building your Stand UP plan of action in practical situations you face in trials and in life.
YOUR COACH.
I'm Kathy Keats. I've been around elite sport most of my life as a competitor and coach, won world and national championships in different disciplines (basketball, dog agility, sheepdog trialing)... but I've had to deal with adversity at all levels of my career...
...and had to work hard for all my success.
I've dealt with vicious competitors, tough (even abusive of authority) coaches, nasty officials, naysayers and difficult spectators.
I learned early on that the path to success was very bumpy. And until I was able to stand up for myself, I would never be able to perform at my best consistently.
Now, my calling is to bring my experiences from elite sport into the dog world and pass them on so you can pursue your dream goals and reach levels you never thought possible.
IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR YOU?
I get it. Life is crazy right now, and not everyone has the time to take courses or can afford private coaching.
But if you ARE serious about becoming a stronger, tougher performer, you need to build it inside out. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or world team member.
That's why so many of the great coaches worked on the character of their athletes as much as the skills.
Skills can let you down at times, simply because of the complex nature of good timing. If your confidence is based on that alone, you'll collapse. But, when your confidence comes from within, you know how to stand up for yourself, believe in yourself even when things aren't going your way, if you put in the work.
This course is applicable to all dog sports (and outside of dog sport as well). Many of the dog examples will come from dog agility and herding, with a few other dog sports mixed in. Check out the FAQs below for more details.
