This presentation will cover Sara's favorite games to play to help dogs feel confident at home, out and about and during training. Even if your dog already is confident, these games will help build engagement, drive to work and are just flat out fun to play. These games are also adaptable, suitable for a variety of training sports or situations and environments. These games utilize food as a reinforcer, but Sara will also discuss spotting opportunities to use individualized reinforcement.

Are you ready to take your dog’s physical and mental game to the next level?
"Foundation Fitness: Building Strength and Skill with Your Dog" is an amazing way to work on a range of essential body skills in a fun, low-pressure environment that doesn't require a lot of space. Whether you are training for agility and obedience or just looking for a new way to bond, this webinar introduces foundation fitness skills in an easy, engaging way that sets the stage for more complex fitness routines in the future.
This webinar is perfect for handlers and dogs brand new to fitness training, young dogs that need safe and appropriate foundation skills, reactive or stressy dogs that may benefit from focus and rewarding training, and just teams that are newer to training skills with a sports focus, wanting a fun and positive way to work generally on skills and communication.
You will master a variety of static skills, and dynamic movements, including front and back feet targeting, side stepping, reversing, and turning in tight circles. You’ll also learn how to send your dog around cones and perfect their "sit", “stand” and "down" positions with precision. The best part? You can get started with just a few simple items: one longer stable platform, two smaller stable non-slip platforms, some large cones, and a bowl full of your dog's favorite treats.
This webinar is specifically designed for dogs that are sound and healthy. If you’re looking for a way to boost your dog's training with fitness while having a ton of fun, this is the perfect opportunity to build a stronger, more skilled companion.

Denise Fenzi - From Fragile to Functional: Building Confidence in Dogs (Part 1: How Dogs Learn to Feel Capable)
Date: Thursday, April 30th
Time: 6pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
What do you do when your dog is chronically shut down or avoidant… barking at guests, refusing to come out of the crate or go back in, staying stuck at the back of a kennel, avoiding food in your presence, or running off at every opportunity?
This webinar follows how I built confidence and resilience in my severely under-socialized dog Tye over about six months, using those real challenges as the starting point. I’ll walk through the decisions I made as situations came up day to day… when I gave him choice, when I added structure, and when I took options off the table in his best interest.
We’ll look at how I prevented rehearsal of avoidance behaviors and introduced new experiences by building on what he could already tolerate.
A major focus is on identifying what brought him even small amounts of joy, and systematically building from there to increase confidence and resilience over time.
Using Tye as a case study, you’ll see how confidence and resilience develop in real time… through everyday interactions, adjustments, and decisions. The goal is helping dogs become more capable of functioning in the real world by building on what they have, while respecting the genetic realities they bring with them.
