More About Denise
Denise Fenzi isn't just a name synonymous with high-achieving dogs; she's a lifelong learner whose journey in the dog world has been marked by constant evolution and a deep commitment to understanding both canine and human behavior. From her early days navigating the intricacies of various dog sports like obedience (AKC & UKC), tracking (AKC & schutzhund), schutzhund (USA), herding (AKC), conformation (AKC), and agility (AKC), Denise has seen firsthand the power of connection and the impact of our approaches on the dogs in our lives. Achieving multiple obedience championships and perfect scores in demanding disciplines like schutzhund and Mondio ringsport obedience wasn't just about training techniques; it was about a continuous process of learning, adapting, and refining her understanding of what truly motivates and engages dogs.
The power of No-Force training
For Denise, the real passion has always been in the daily interaction, the problem-solving, and the constant quest to build a better relationship with her own dogs and the dogs of her students. Her journey has taught her invaluable lessons about drive, motivation, and focus, not as abstract concepts, but as tangible elements of the human-dog partnership. She's learned the power of no-force training not just as a methodology, but as a philosophy that fosters trust and collaboration. Through her own experiences, Denise has come to deeply understand the barriers that can prevent people from experiencing the joy of a truly interactive and mutually enjoyable relationship with their dogs.
