How R+ Has Evolved Beyond the Training

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/08/02

Being a positive reinforcement extremist has nothing to do with how you train dogs. It’s about how you treat people. This live dives into how R+ has evolved beyond training methods—shaping how we engage, communicate, and show up in the dog training community. Follow my training!

What is Good Training

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/07/26

In this live, I unpack common misconceptions about positive reinforcement training and explain why withholding reinforcement is still a form of clear communication. I share a personal story about my early shaping mistakes and describe how good modern training sets dogs up for success without guessing. This is a call for clarity, accuracy, and respect across all training approaches. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

Stress & Resilience

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/07/18

If developing resilience requires experiencing stress, does that mean humans need to stress their dogs intentionally? Nope. We’re stressing our dogs all the time, whether we mean to or not. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

When There Are Upsides to Training We Don't Like

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/07/04

Do applications of adversive occasionally benefit the dog? It should be obvious that the answer is yes, but if you’re struggling with that… Listen to this one.

Take An Extra Minute

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2025/06/27

If something needs to be said, you can say it without being rude. It just takes an extra minute… that minute makes no difference between simply expressing yourself or having an impact. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

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. This live is about their different reactions… And how that might impact them into the future, especially if I were a trainer who chose to use electric collars. Follow my training!

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
