The Confidence Game: Getting "Superbetter"* at Living with Reactivity
“It's one of the most inventive ideas I've ever come across on line.” CM
* The Confidence Game is based on the concept of the book SuperBetter: The Power of Living Gamefully by Jane McGonigal, available on Amazon.com. The online SuperBetter tool is available at superbetter.com. The Confidence Game and the Reactivity Adventures were created by Janet Finlay and are exclusively available from Canine Confidence.
The Confidence Game is a unique 6-week course that harnesses the power of gamefulness to help you shift from a threat to a challenge mindset and learn how to work effectively with your dog's reactivity. Based on the concepts in the amazing book Superbetter: The Power of Living Gamefully, it includes six original adventures specifically designed to help with reactivity, meaning you can apply the game directly to your situation.
You will fulfil quests, battle baddies, activate power-ups and ultimately achieve your epic wins. You will seek out lasting support from like-minded allies and you will have a lot of fun along the way!
The Adventures will teach you to look after your own needs and your dog's needs so you are both up for the challenge. They will teach you how to handle people you meet along the way, both those who help and those who hinder. They will show you how to stay safe and how to deal with the unexpected. And ultimately they will teach you how to become a master in helping your reactive dog!
The Reactivity Adventures
The Confidence Game is based around six Reactivity Adventures to help you navigate your reactivity journey with your dog. Each one contains at least a week's worth of daily quests plus suggested power-ups and baddies to watch out for.
We can’t help our dog if we are not caring for ourselves. This adventure helps us look after our own physical, mental, emotional and social needs.
Our dog is our companion on the journey. This adventure helps us understand them as much as possible and to make sure their needs are met.
On the journey we meet many fellow travellers, some of whom can make our lives difficult. This adventure helps us to deal with them and their dogs effectively.
Travelling safely is essential: both we and our dog need to feel safe. So this Adventure is all about preparing well, understanding hazards and staying safe.
No matter how well we prepare, we will meet challenges we weren't expecting. This Adventure is all about how to take the sting out of the unexpected.
In this last adventure we are looking forward: how do we make sure that we continue to make progress and not get stuck at whatever stage we are.
