Life Is Complex

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/07/23

Life is complex. Dogs are one piece of the puzzle of complexity. Be open to the challenge of varied perspectives. Be respectful! And try to make things better. Dog trainers can do that. You’re more than a dog trainer. You can change lives, and I’m not just making that up. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

Words Are Power!

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/07/19

Your words are your power. Do not take someone else’s words to placate them. Choose your words carefully. Explain what you need to explain. And reserve the right to say… It depends. I need more information. Getting a group of people together is easy when you simplify complex topics. Who doesn’t appreciate simplicity? Well. Me. As long as life remains complex, I will explain in as many words as I need to say what I want to say. Don’t give your power away. Choose your words thoughtfully, and

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/07/12

Continuing on with basic principles around force free training. Here I introduce counter conditioning, desensitization and habituation.

What Drives Behavior?

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/07/07

Does reinforcement history or emotion/instinct drive behavior? Both. Emotion drives “behavior” - the general category of things we do. And reinforcement history drives the specific behavior which the learner chooses, from amongst all of the available options. The challenge here is that the word “behavior” means both the general category and a specific choice of a specific behavior. Both are happening. I spend a few extra minutes talking about this during this live. Plus - note how adorable my

Get to the Root of the Problem!

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/07/01

Today, I explored where most force free behaviorists would start looking at a problem behavior… At the root! What matters less than the behavior in front of you is where it’s coming from. What instincts or emotion are fueling it? If you can identify that, and do some thing about it, your behavior problem might simply disappear. Obviously that’s your best case scenario but… It’s still where you want to start. Because more often then you might think that is the solution. Follow my training

Pain, Discomfort, or Something Else?

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/06/22

So appreciate those of you who gave your thoughts about the difference between discomfort and pain in my Instagram stories! In this live, I also explained why I like the word adversive. I like that it centers the experience of the learner and that it recognizes how individual that experience might be. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training!

Showing Up On Social Media

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/06/18

How do you show up on social media? How do you balance your authentic self with the demands of the communities where you participate? Do you have an internal compass to guide you? And…how did FDSA start anyway? If you struggle to find peace of social media, this live might help. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

So Very Random

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/06/15

I decided to show you what a training session looks like today. Just the flow of it in real time. I hadn’t planned to save it, but then I came in the house and we just talked. We talked about all kinds of things. So if you want a random grab bag of conversation, this is your live. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training!

What's The Fastest Training Method?

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/06/07

No simple answer to this one. Depends on the goal, type of training. specificity of what you want, and what you mean by trained. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

Training a Concept Over Precision

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/06/05

How do you teach a highly generalized concept like retrieve - where you might want the dog to retrieve a wide variety of items? In this live, I touch on the difference between how I train behaviors for precision as opposed to more generalized concepts that I might want for life or dog sport. Follow my training!

Response to Zak George

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/05/29

I desperately wish that training dogs was easy. I wish there was a one-size-fits-all solution. I wish all of training could be cookies and toys and general happiness. But life is complicated and it’s not like that. And if I come to a different place someday? If I’m able to find answers to my concerns? I will change my mind, and I will say so publicly.

A Dog-Centric Existence?

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/05/24

Do you prioritize dogs above people? How about other animals? I wonder if that has ever happened at any other time in the history of our species…. Anyway, in this live I ramble along a bit on this topic. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

Do Biting Sports Make Dogs Aggressive?

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/05/18

Do biting sports make dogs more likely to misunderstand in real life, and bite at the wrong time? Maybe. As with many things, it’s not a simple answer. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

Dominance? Pack? Words...Are Hard.

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/05/04

Words are so complicated. If we remember that the purpose of words is to communicate rather than to create division, we’ll get along a lot better. Does dominance exist? Can we talk about dogs in packs? How about hierarchy? Let’s look at it. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

Be kind!

Try to be kind. The dog world seems to discourage that, but you don’t need to follow a negative trend. Be nice to people whenever possible. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

Leashes!

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/04/13

Why do I use leashes in public, if not to direct my dog? To allow society to feel comfortable in my presence. It has nothing to do with my dog’s behavior at all. Follow my training! Instagram The High Drive Dog More online training! Fenzi Dog Sports Academy

Know How Training Works

Fenzi Food For Thought ·

2024/04/05

If you want to be involved in conversations on social media about ethics, tools, how training works, etc., you really need to know the basics. Dogs do more of things they like and that work for them. Dogs do less of things they don’t like or that don’t work for them. Leverage is a thing. Some tools work by leverage, and others work by aversive properties...and various other stuff as well.
