Dog trainer extraordinaire. Period.

[@tedalexander1093]

This guy was the first video I ever watched - his leerburg series - nailed the interview of one of the Greats

[@felixneher]

Anyway, the reality is that Michael Ellis has an incredible natural talent for teaching and reading people's concerns.

[@Hogdawg1911]

Doc Stewart hilliard said Michael is without peer, and that is a strong statement for the head of the USA military breeding program

[@brandyb51]

One of the best, most instructive interview I've ever seen! Thank you both! For me ,as a beginner brazilian trainer, it's gold! 👏👏👏👏👏✊✊

[@lizmillertraining]

REALLY enjoyed this interview, Nick! A couple of my favorite books on teaching are The Talent Code by Coyle, and What the Best College Teachers Do by Bain. A lot of the teaching discussion reminded me of these books.

AWESOME podcast, THANK YOU, guys!!!

[@joeray5394]

Great interview thank you.......fyi the interviewer is only in the left ear and Ellis is on the right side. I could only hear the answers because i can only wear the earbud in the right ear.

[@Hogdawg1911]

Any one interested in breeding and genetic look up Kenny troiano and the breeders academy Back crossing, linebreeding, inbreeding all very useful techniques when u have the knowledge and understanding

[@spiderjoes]

Michael Ellis is amazing. Definitely one of my favourite trainers to listen to. His view on in breeding is the first time Ive listened to something he says that he seems wrong about. Some of the recessive genes could be there and the dog could be bred before the a disease shows up later in life. Realistically one person is not going to control a whole breeding program either. Continuous close in breeding is shown to have a negative effect on the health and resilience of animals.

A question: what's happening to Michael 's school? I can't contact them or find the details of their courses... Does anyone knows?

Show me a finished dog?!! Everyone has to train and keep training 👀don't they call that refreshing 😂in the sport world 🌎🌍 Sport is not personal protection, no reason why sport trainers would advertise that other than money goal 🤔 If you're not a personal protection/ defense trainer you don't know personal protection. If you say you do your teaching are backed by police, military, and sports. A sport dog can't be reactive and a defense/personal protection dogs should be based on space/approximatey. Most books and his teachings are breed based as well (gsd/mals).

[@Hogdawg1911]

Pretty sure this guys trained police dogs and personal protection dogs he's probably trained his dog to wash the dishes and cook, he's a legend

[@al-bone1396]

@@Hogdawg1911 all his information came from books based on police, military and shutzhund/sport. The dogs gsd, mals and herders. Personal protection is based on what?
