Date: Thursday, December 18th, 2025
Time: 3pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
Have you ever wanted to understand what is, and is not good form? Or wanted to get better at recognising the different ways that your dog can move? Perhaps what is normal, and what is not? This webinar will outline the essential signs of correct posture and form in different positions, the different gait patterns, and discuss the potential biomechanics behind form in different stances and gaits. We will practice recognising good, and poor form, and then look at some practical solutions to improve these in a fitness context. This webinar would suit anyone who wants to get better at recognising form, and wants to use fitness to address issues in form.

Hélène Lawler - Put Your Oxygen Mask On First: Living with and Loving Dogs with Big Feelings
Date: Thursday, December 18th, 2025
Time: 6pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
When our dogs have big feelings about the world, they behave in ways that can make competing, training, and even daily life a challenge. Thankfully, there are now countless resources to help our dogs: Behaviourists, training specialists, medications, on-line training and competing options, gut-rebuilding protocols, supplements, massage and other body work, and so much more! But… What about YOU? What are you doing to support YOU? To help you with the anxiety, stress, grief, disappointment, fear, or frustration that is also so often part of this picture? Because, what’s the point of moving heaven and earth to help Spot walk calmly down the street, or up to a start line, if you’re a miserable, anxious mess at the other end of the leash? We have dogs in our lives to bring us joy, love, and companionship. We do dog sports to have fun and find fulfilment through the process of taking that relationship to the next level. When our dogs struggle, WE struggle. But it doesn’t have to be this way! It is possible to train yourself to feel calm and confident, even when your dog does not. And when you feel good? You make better decisions, have better response time, and can even send some of that confidence down the leash to your dog. Join me in this webinar to learn my unique, step-by-step self-coaching process designed to help YOU help yourself feel peaceful, calm and confident so that you can reclaim the joy of training. Even if your dog’s big feelings about the world never change (although, quite often, when we feel better, so do they!)

Denise Fenzi - Staged to Engage: Pre-Engagement Strategies
Date: Thursday, January 1st, 2026
Time: 3pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
Do you have a puppy or a “new to you” dog that you hope to train for competition? Want to make future engagement training simpler, cleaner, and more reliable?
This webinar focuses on the early decisions that can fundamentally shape engagement long before formal engagement training ever begins. We’ll look at everyday “life” training choices and the trade-offs they create in areas like manners, impulse control, socialization, play, and shaping. Small choices add up, and understanding them now can prevent common engagement challenges later.
We’ll also consider how and where you train. How your dog experiences shaping, problem-solving, and interaction can influence whether they naturally seek you out when uncertain and value personal engagement as information, not pressure.
Finally, we’ll look at temperament and pre-engagement interaction. Different dogs come with different risk points, and understanding how temperament influences engagement helps you make smarter, more individualized choices from the very beginning.
This webinar is about raising and training your dog with intention… so that when it’s time for formal engagement work, the foundation is already there.

Denise Fenzi - Acclimation and Engagement 2.0: From Training to Competition
Date: Thursday, January 1st, 2026
Time: 6pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
Do you feel like you’re working hard to make training exciting, while your dog gives very little back? Do you struggle to hold your dog’s attention unless you’re holding a cookie or dangling a toy? Have you been told you just need to be “more exciting”?
If this sounds familiar, your team likely needs Engagement training… a process that shifts responsibility for starting work from the human to the dog. Instead of persuading your dog to train, your dog learns to actively choose the work and demand that you join, without visible food or toys.
The solution to distraction is not becoming louder, faster, or more entertaining. It’s changing the power dynamic so the dog understands that work itself is valuable, and that access to it is a privilege. Once you experience training with a fully engaged dog, bribing and cajoling quickly become things of the past.
This webinar builds on Denise’s previous Engagement webinar and class, introducing additional steps and concepts for dogs that need more structure, as well as a clear plan for advanced engagement. The goal is a trial-ready partner who can enter a competition environment calmly and confidently, without needing to explore the space before being invited to work.
