FE345 You Can Do It

Are you ready for the next step in your journey with your dog? Are you ready to communicate in a way few have explored? You’ve heard of it! You know you want to do it! You can! And so can your dog! Teaching dogs the concept of mimicry has come to the attention of many dog trainers through the work of Claudia Fugazza and Ken Ramirez. In this course, you’ll explore the cognitive abilities of your dog and how they view your behavior in relation to their own. You’ll learn a step-by-step protocol to teach your dog to mimic your behavior and then transfer that understanding in the teaching of new, unknown behaviors. In teaching your dog to imitate and mimic the behaviors you demonstrate, you'll achieve a unique way to connect and communicate to your dog, and I can’t wait to share that with you!

N120S Intro to NW Search Elements

Did you know that the MOST important time in a dog's early career in Nosework happens AFTER they learn target odor (as in NW101) and BEFORE they start their general searching? Making mistakes now are costly. In this transition time, the dog (and handler) learns searching habits, passive indication, precision, consistency, and the ability to work in new and novel locations. THIS class forms the initial foundation to get you off onto the right track. Without these skills, a team may suffer from missed hides and false alerts and their ability to move up the levels successfully may be hampered.

OB800 Mondioring Obedience

Mondioring Obedience is a fun new obedience venue catered to all breeds! Based on real-life challenges and working under distraction, Mondioring takes familiar obedience exercises to a new level. With the development of the United States Mondioring Association's Obedience-only program, now any dog can participate and earn titles.

This class will cover each of the exercises in the obedience-only program. Working spots will progress at their own pace, students can work on training the behavior or if the behavior is already known, distractions will be introduced under the guidance of the instructor.

Even if competition isn't your goal, this class will help your dog generalize their obedience behaviors to the extreme!

The exercises in the Mondioring Obedience program include:
Heeling
Down stay with distraction
Position changes
Food refusal
Retrieve
Send away

Our testimonials

Don't just take our word for it — see what our clients say about their experience working with us.

As a newbie to dog sports I find the Fenzi academy an incredible way to get the best instruction from a wealth of knowledgable instructors with no intimidation or sense that I can't participate in a class alongside excellent seasoned trainers.

This is the first online class I have taken. Although I took it at the bronze level, I was amazed at how much I got out of it and couldn't wait to try the exercises and share them with my training partners. As an inexperienced handler with little competition experience, I was nervous. There was no need to worry. Denise accepts her students, canine and human, right where they are. She is very clear that you don’t have to keep up, make comparisons or master it all in the 6 week session. Her feedback is prompt, frequent and right to the point. As she discusses areas that need work, she is encouraging and reinforcing. I always felt like wagging my tail and working harder after every interchange. Getting to know and watch the other students is fun and instructive. I am looking forward to taking classes regularly through the Fenzi Academy. And I highly recommend that you go for the gold!

I am continually amazed at how much I learn with each class. Watching both the teacher's video's and the student's videos gives me lots of opportunity to think through the elements and break it down for myself and my dog.
