CAMP 1: SPORTY BRAINS 2023

Live On December 1-2, 2023

Recordings posted no later than Sunday, December 10th, 2023

Optimal performance depends on learning, memory, physical fitness, control of arousal, focus and engagement. Understanding what’s happening in the brain, and therefore how to optimize these abilities, while supporting the dog’s well-being, is the key to success.

Sporty Brains 2023 is perfect for dog & handler teams who are new to Brain Camp, alums who have a new canine teammate, or alums who want to join us again to learn MORE!

In this unique camp you will be able to take what you learn about achieving optimum performance for your individual dog, and go from theory to practical application over the course of the weekend. We will provide a fresh context for you to be able to learn training games to help address arousal issues, build focus, engagement, and teamwork, and build that all-important resilience to environmental sensitivities.

Brain Camp 2023 offers 3 working tracks:

***Puppy Track (geared towards future careers in agility, flyball, rally, obedience)

10 weeks to 12 months

**Competition Track (for dogs training/competing in agility, flyball, rally, obedience)

13 months and beyond

** Scentwork Track

10 weeks and beyond

AUDITORS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE LIVE STREAM AND RECORDINGS OF ALL TRACKS!

Sporty Brains Camp will have multiple lecture/panel and practical working sessions each day! The practical sessions will be covering how to apply our understanding of the neuroscience to the sport-specific skills required for agility, flyball, and scentwork! Topics will include:

Creating training plans
Confidence building
Arousal management and optimization
Attentional processing
Reinforcement strategies
