Inaccessible hides don't need to be scary! You don't need to avoid training them. In this workshop series, we will explore HOW to train these skills.
This workshop will focus on the Inaccessible Hide Due to Containment. Basically, that is a fancy way of saying that we will train our dogs to find and communicate to us that there is a hide in a contained location like a cabinet or a drawer.
The key to training this skill is in timing of your marker. We will cover the steps to introduce and fine tune this type of hide but will focus our feedback on marker timing. You will find that timing your marker will give your dog a power boost in understanding!
Specific topics of the lecture portion will include:
Understanding the value of marker timing for this type of hide specifically
Discussion about reading the dog's behavior
Identification of that "AH-HA Moment"
Steps to introduce this type of hide
Examples of application of correct marker timing

I wasn't sure if an online format would really be "helpful enough" to learn something new, but I was very pleasantly surprised! Seeing the videos of the Gold level participants and reading the instructor feedback was VERY helpful! I had fun and learned several new things. I highly recommend these online classes!
Read all testimonialsIncredibly informative and helpful class. I am a crossover student, with 35 yrs experience training the "traditional" way. This is a challenge for me! But I have seen significant improvement in my dog's problem areas, so I am now committed to learning these training techniques; I'm starting over with her, having lots of fun and learning new things as fast as I can keep the clicker going! I have high expectations for achieving all of my performance goals using the Fenzi Academy to help me get there. I can't wait for my next class!! Really enjoyed the course! I'm still catching up, but am already looking forward to the next class. So useful, especially if you don't have a really good positive methods trainer where you live!! Helped my dog revive his enthusiasm for working.
