Discover effective strategies to help you manage performance nerves, reconnect with your dog, and compete with confidence—so you can step into the ring calm, focused, and ready to thrive.
Join Klaudia Sapieja, Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC)—specialist in sport psychology—for an insightful workshop designed to guide you through managing your pre-performance nerves and performing at your best.
In This Workshop You'll Learn
Expect an empowering, supportive, and practical workshop that equips you with the tools to manage your nerves, connect with your dog, and compete with confidence. It's time to stop the cycle of frustration and perform at your best every time you step into the ring.
Why Attend?
Are ring nerves holding you back?
Dog agility can be exhilarating, but it can also become stressful when ring nerves interfere with your ability to perform. If you're performing better in training than during trials, losing connection with your dog under pressure, or feeling overwhelmed by stress, this workshop is designed for you.
You don’t have to struggle alone or resign yourself to frustration. With the right mindset tools and techniques, you can step into the ring calm, confident, and performing at your best.

Hosted by In-Sync Dog Training -
A Leader in the Edmonton Dogsport Community
I'm so excited to be partnering with Shauna Oliver and In-Sync Dog Training to host the very first Zen Run workshop! In-Sync is one of the largest and most well-respected dogsport training centers in Edmonton — a hub for passionate handlers and dedicated teams who want to grow, compete, and connect.
Shauna brings a wealth of experience to the sport. In 2020, she opened In-Sync Dog Training in Edmonton and has since built it into a thriving facility that attracts handlers from all over. Shauna became a world-level agility competitor in 2016, bringing home her first gold medal for Canada with her dog Splash. Today, she competes internationally with multiple breeds and travels the world teaching agility.
I’ve had the privilege of training with her, and I deeply admire her passion, skill, and the joy she brings to the sport. It’s an honor to launch this workshop at In-Sync — a place that embodies both excellence and heart. Whether you're looking to improve your mental game or rediscover the joy of competing, this is the perfect space to do it.
