Deb Jones, PhD - Let’s Talk Tools (for shorter dog nails)
Date: Thursday, June 11th
Time: 3pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
Over the years I’ve experimented with ALL the tools out there to shorten dog nails. They often promise miraculous results, but we all know that’s not really possible. There’s no one tool that’s a magic solution. The tool itself is only part of the process, but it’s definitely a very important part. How do you choose the right tool for the job of shortening your dog’s nails?
This webinar will explore the different types of tools that you might use. In this presentation we’ll consider the advantages and disadvantages of different tools, and when & why you might choose one over the others, along with some pro tips for success, and some pitfalls to avoid.
We will discuss trimmers, rotary tools, and files. Scratch boards will get their own special expanded section! This will include detailed training videos & steps. Owners often find that scratch boards are a great way to accomplish shorter nails with a hands-off approach. Their use can be a good initial step while you work on more long-term hands-on training.
This webinar will give you a clear overview of your different options for nail shortening tools, and help you make an educated decision about your choices.

Sarah Owen - The Reinforcement System: Your Foundation for Training!
Date: Thursday, June 11th
Time: 6pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
This Webinar has been approved for 1.5 CEUs through CCPDT
Imagine a training session with a dog who doesn't snatch treats or toys from your hands, mug your treat pouch, or scream at you to hurry up, already! A dog who doesn't repeatedly get distracted, stop responding, or opt out of the session. That picture represents a dog who understands exactly what to do to get the reinforcer – a dog who understands the reinforcement system.
Often, we start training before we have taught our dogs a reinforcement system. We assume they will pick it up as we go, or that they will adjust to whatever we are doing. And, they often do! But it is sometimes a painful and slow process for both the dog and the trainer. If, instead, we systematically teach the dog where and how to collect the reinforcer, how to predict when a reinforcer is available, and what to do to earn a reinforcer, we can create harmonious training sessions in which the dog isn't anxious or frustrated.
By building a reinforcement system as the foundation for our training sessions, we create an interconnected chain of behavior between the dog and the trainer, in which each team member takes their turn behaving, and waits politely for the other team member to take their turn. Training sessions become a conversation, and true communication flows easily between two partners.
In this webinar, we'll discuss the components that make up a reinforcement system, as well as how to chain the components together to create a strong foundation for training sessions. We'll also analyze several examples of different types of reinforcement systems.

Denise Fenzi - The Fenzi Method: Cutting Corners to Loose Leash Walking!
Date: Thursday, June 18th
Time: 3pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
Is your dog is a chronic leash puller? If leash walking is a misery, then this webinar is for you!
The Fenzi “cutting corners” method can even work for dogs where other approaches have failed. It requires no food, no highly controlled environments, and allows for reasonably inexperienced handlers. This method is equally suited to a young puppy on dog directed socialization outings as it is for strong adult dogs with years of practice pulling on walks. And the best part? It works fast and without compulsive techniques by reducing frustration in both the puller and the pullee! If you are tired of being dragged around, or are a trainer who simply wants more options for helping your clients, then join Denise and hear what she has to say about this approach!

Denise Fenzi - Denise Fenzi’s Circle Method for Basic Reactivity and Over Arousal
Date: Thursday, June 18th
Time: 6pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
This webinar is intended to provide advice, interventions, and skills for individuals working with reactive or overexcited dogs. “The circle method of Loose Leash Walking” will be used to help the behavior and emotional state of reactive and over-aroused dogs by allowing them to adjust to their environment, reconnect with their handlers, and become more emotionally comfortable in the presence of specific triggers. The method can be used regardless of food interest and does not require elaborate set-ups.
The information presented in this webinar will build upon the foundation webinar, "The Fenzi Method: Cutting Corners to Loose Leash Walking" (often called the Circle method of loose leash walking), and will assume prerequisite knowledge of that material.
This webinar assumes professional or amateur trainers who can assimilate the information with a preexisting basic working knowledge of dog behavior, reactivity and over-aroused behavior.

Petra Ford - Oh No! A Show! Prepping Your Dog For Success
Date: Thursday, June 25th
Time: 3pm Pacific Time (Click here for time at FDSA (Pacific Time).
Fee: $19.95 USD
You did it—you entered a trial. And suddenly it feels very real. As the date gets closer, training starts to change. We’ve all been there. You test instead of teach. You focus on errors. The pressure builds—and your dog feels it too.
In this webinar, we’ll look at how to approach trial prep in a way that builds confidence—for both you and your dog—so you can walk into the ring feeling ready and confident.
We’ll cover:
- How to structure your training as a trial approaches
- Strategies to balance skills, motivation and confidence in your prep
- The role of handler mindset—and how it directly impacts your dog’s performance
- Simple, effective ways to reduce pressure on you and your dog
- How to create process-driven goals that support success in and out of the ring
Whether this is your first trial or your fiftieth, having a clear, thoughtful plan makes all the difference.
This webinar will help you organize your training, refine your approach, and step into the ring with a dog who feels prepared—and a handler who feels confident. Because great trial experiences aren’t created by last-minute fixes… they’re built through intentional preparation.
