What is Superstitious Learning? And What is Single...

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/06/20

In my last live, some people misunderstood the realities of single incident learning and superstitious learning. You don’t control these realities…the learner does. You want to know what they are so that you can minimize harm to your training when they show up. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

Lessons from Electric Fencing

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/06/13

All three of my dogs learned about electric fencing - the hard way.

Beyond Reinforcement and Punishment

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/06/06

Learning may well be a function of reinforcers and punishers. But behavior over time? Reliability? Habit and relationship should be the end goal. That’s what I talk about here. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

Dog Training Jargon

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/05/04

About those words… Punishment, consequence, choice, structure, reinforce, strengthen… All of these words have different meanings depending on your background, training, and where you’re coming from. Just because a word has a scientifically defined meaning doesn’t mean that it is the “right” definition; it depends who you’re talking to. A lay person definition is equally valid! look words up in the dictionary… That should clarify things for you. Words have multiple meanings. The goal of language is

Training Outcomes in the Dog World

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/04/25

Do balanced trainers train (fix) dogs and positive reinforcement based trainers manage them? No. Not not at all. That’s a problem with words and definitions, not actual outcomes. Do balanced trainers show their work and positive reinforcement trainers not? No. You don’t know where to look. If you want to see really good positive reinforcement trainers doing cool things, you have to look in their circles. That’s what I talk about here. Follow my training!

Balancing Priorities in the Dog World

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/04/13

Time. Priorities. Dog welfare. Human welfare. Guilt. Dog trainers on social media seem out of touch with real world people and their priorities. Are we even doing our job if we don’t prioritize our human clients as much as their animals? Those are things I covered here. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training!

Understand What Motivates Your Dog

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/04/06

No fetch? Chase but no return? No tug? Tugs but doesn’t let go? Understand what motivates your dog makes training and problem-solving a lot easier. Taken further, it will set how you train each individual dog, which may be radically different than how you approached similar issues with the last dog. By comparing my Border Collie Ice and my Belgian Xen, both showing similar issues but with very different resolutions, I hope to illustrate these points in this live. Follow my training! Instagram

Reactive or bored?

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/02/07

About that reactivity… is a given dog reactive, or simply bored? Lacking structure? Doesn’t know what to do in a given circumstance? There are foundation skills that all dogs should have, and they are particularly valuable if the dog should exhibit reactive tendencies here and there. The ability to get your dog’s attention is a critical foundation skill. If you can’t get your dog’s attention in a given environment, you probably should not be there. Follow my training!

Safe Walks

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/01/20

A safe walk with a dog is a function of the equipment on the dog, the leash that attaches the equipment to the handler, the size, strength, and temperament of the dog, and the environment. All of these things should be discussed with dog training clients to ensure the comfort and safety of all. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training!
