Workshop Details

Build strength, stability, posture, and confidence in your dog with this resistance band training workshop—designed to introduce safe, effective canine conditioning techniques you can use with your dog who already has some experience in canine fitness training.

We’ll also discuss when resistance training is appropriate, how to introduce equipment safely, and how to tailor exercises to your dog’s individual needs. We will discuss how resistance bands can be used to target key muscle groups, functional skills, improve joint stability, and enhance overall movement and position quality.

This workshop will then cover many specific practical exercises such as stability in individual limbs, postural stability, banded weight shifts for core engagement, and different movements with added resistance through the use of bands.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to incorporate band-based exercises into a well-rounded canine fitness routine.

This workshop best suits handlers and dogs that have a range of canine fitness skills, and are looking for more difficult or advanced exercises for their dog. Equipment required to participate in this workshop includes an appropriate well fitted and non restrictive harness, some light to medium flat resistance bands, and some round resistance bands with clips on the end.

Our testimonials

Don't just take our word for it — see what our clients say about their experience working with us.

I live in a remote area several hours away from experienced positive competitive obedience dog trainers, so Fenzi Academy gives me a great opportunity to get instruction from some of the best positive reinforcement trainers in the country. My current dog is getting a much better foundation than my previous dogs due to having access to this great instruction. Thank you! It is amazing to realize that Internet training isn't "second best". The success of training through video and critiques and lectures is nothing short of amazing. Thank you for bringing this quality of instruction to everyone, regardless of their geographical location The class was thoughtfully planned with just enough material each week to keep us busy but not overwhelmed. The lectures and videos were clear and easy to follow. Can't wait for the next class!

Incredibly 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.

As a newbie to dog sports I find the Fenzi academy an incredible way to get the best instruction from a wealth of knowledgable instructors with no intimidation or sense that I can't participate in a class alongside excellent seasoned trainers.
