Workshop Details

Has your dog had faults for dislodging hides, pawing containers, or otherwise aggressive alerts? Do you want to retrain their alert behavior so that you can stop stressing and start enjoying the process? This workshop is for you!

The problem of box smashing and hide mouthing is complex and often highly reinforced, making it hard to figure out how to stop it! This workshop is focused on helping you diagnose your issue as well as walking through the steps of how you can retrain your dog’s alert behavior. We will look at different causes, and some easy fixes, and dive into the deep end to figure out how to retrain a really aggressive paw or mouthing alert.

With a little work, thoughtful training, and patience (retraining a behavior isn’t always easy!), my goal is that you can get to your next trial and call ALERT! with confidence and no stress!

Our testimonials

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

Since I am generally a hands-on learner, I was skeptical how much I would like learning through an on-line course. I have to say that the method used by Fenzi Academy is very effective. The videos are very helpful, both the instructor and student videos. And all questions were timely answered with professionalism and sensitivity. I couldn't have been more pleased with the courses I have taken!

Love the Fenzi Academy! It's great that finally there is a place where force free trainers can get good, detailed instruction, support and be part of a community. The material covered is up to date and fully relevant - no 'hocus pocus' just good, solid science and understanding of dog behviour. Also love the online FB groups; everyone is so supportive!
