Train the dog in front of you: Heeling

by Denise Fenzi | Sep 30, 2016 | Musings | 6 comments

I recently discovered "Facebook live".  So fun!!!! Anyway, I asked for something to talk about, and the most popular topic was "Train the Dog in Front of You"  and how that might apply to Heeling.  I spoke for a while and then answered questions as they came in. Here's that video live feed.  It's about 38 minutes long and addresses the topic of tailoring training to the individual dog. I'll be teaching heeling games at Fenzi Dog Sports Academy starting October 1st so if you're interested, go ahead and get registered.  It will cost you $65, and you'll probably learn quite a bit. If you "follow" me on Facebook you'll be able to catch live feeds here and there, and submit questions if you have any.  I have also done a large number of live feeds on the Fenzi Dog Sports Academy Alumni Group on Facebook, so if you're a student of FDSA make sure you ask to join the alumni group! Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnwRVX219SM

    Thank you, Denise!! I always seem to miss the live feeds (out playing with dogs), but I came home today to find 37 plus minutes of you! Talking to me! Like it’s just us:-). This is like winning the lottery (something that never happens to me), only this is way better! Your generosity amazes me. You actually put this out to anyone who wants to learn- for free!! This is something that never happens, as far as I know. I feel lucky to be part of this new concept. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making it available to the people like me, who really need to keep dog sports happy and in perspective.

      You’re welcome. It only cost me 30 minutes of my time, and the response of people who appreciate it is more than enough compensation.

Don’t worry – I’m fine!

I haven't written on my blog in many months.  What happened?! All is well! I stopped running day-to-day operations at FDSA, and that freed up time to do what I am seriously passionate about - education.  Free education, for the most part, because I spend a very high...
