For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕

shut up :D

[@donb2527]

So true, dog training is all about patience and controlling your emotions.

[@SomeMinorDogTraining]

@@donb2527 yes! It's a marathon, not a sprint. ❤️💕

[@felixneher]

Those who go to the workshop are very lucky. I am located in Melbourne Australia, so it is very expensive for just 3 days. But if I had the chance to buy it online I would do it without thinking twice!!! 🙌Enjoy this wonderful event!👏

[@shepherds.pie.youtube]

I'm NSW, Australia. Same!

[@quinncolby]

Love watching you working puppies

[@natehinkson2313]

Ivan 🙌🏼 thank you

[@tuffy2242]

I like the cooperation + competition idea very much. My non-protection companion dog loves this and I’ve stuck with the give and take and creatively expanding, that you’ve shown in your videos. I’m using it as a relationship developer rather than as a protection and bitework building game. Thank you 🙏

[@felixneher]

Finally new content from Ivan!!! So happy to see it in my emails!!! Thank you sooo much!! :)

[@chrisdalton9849]

Ivan, keep up the good work, top man

[@MackTrainingAcademy]

Lots of interesting and subtle things being done here. Love that you showed how you do this.

[@cappyrackley8824]

Thank you for sharing this!❤

[@IvanBalabanov]

You are so welcome!

[@Facectrl91]

Уникален ... Идол си ми адаш !

[@SamAlderdice]

what a masterclass! 🦊

[@robertkezer3665]

Well done sir

[@cristindsz]

This is great! I’d love to see how you got Tina to play!! With that razor focus

[@katl5683]

Loved the bite on this little one! Curious how you obtained the out, was watching you at jaw sides, was there a verbal command to out?

[@SimpleCountryDogTrainer]

That’s a great looking pup!

[@IvanBalabanov]

I think so too!

[@xToDz]

Would of loved to be there -

[@ProfNomis]

Hi Ivan 👋🏻 Thank you so much for this introduction video, I really appreciate all the advice that you give freely 🙌🏻 I have a question, when first starting the possession game what ratio of wins for the dog should I be aiming for? I really appreciate your time here, thank you so much 👊🏻

[@shepherds.pie.youtube]

Would love to buy an online replay of this event if you are filming it. Can't make it even though it tears me up to be missing out. 😢

[@youngsid919]

What does rubbing the top of the muzzle do?

[@love1614]

is there also an online course for this? I'm having a lot of trouble getting my 4 month old puppy to play. What course would you recomend? live in the Netherlands so could never physically participate

[@user-ee5zx2dw3f]

Cornerstone collection on his website

[@love1614]

Thank you

[@psimmy73]

Super grips on that pup, your breeding Ivan?

[@DC-fb9tt]

Would you bscktie if this were solo?

[@Renegades79]

When applying and if accepted, does a payment need to be paid in full at the time of booking or at a later time or split payments etc? Observer or with dog, either way I would love to attend and $$$ is tight these days. Thanks

[@IvanBalabanov]

Yes to secure your spot you would have to enroll.

[@katerinakhan1328]

How can I do it solo with my dog? Without another person helping me

[@kristineherzog7215]

Trained one of my problem dogs with a TWC trainer and used all these tactics. Worked brilliantly. My older dog, no matter how exciting I try to be, I cannot get him interested in play. How do you motivate uninterested dogs?

[@corymarinan2996]

Have you tried THIS hard? Prior to seeing this I would have said after 5 minutes of trying that the dog just won't play. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enPFZKOompVkg80si=AUYb5a_65_7TI6_G

[@kristineherzog7215]

@@corymarinan2996 Hi! Thanks for your reply. This looks like just working through fear in general. He's too scared to even think about play in that video. My dog is not like that. He's not fearful, he's just not very interested. I can get him to chase the ball a couple times, and then he goes absolutely flat. I feel like he only chases the ball, not because he wants to, but because he loves the praise he gets when he goes after it. It's been tricky.

[@hollissensenig1775]

Excellent introduction to the course. Thank you! ??I echo previous question. How to handle a dog/ pup that snaps at handler who reclaims the toy when game is finished? ?? Any suggestions on motivating a mature dog with no current interest in possession games? ??After reving the dog up with possession game, how do you address impulse control and teaching Calm?

[@IvanBalabanov]

Will be talking about this at the workshop 💪🏼

[@chuckwheeler3923]

Do you play the same with personal protection pups as with competition pups?

[@IvanBalabanov]

Yes

[@AdamFlackDogTraining]

Really enjoyable and will try out letting a bit more possession when playing chase/tug games. Question: do dogs ever become over possessive and snap towards the person trying to take the toy? Almost like resource guarding?

[@joeyglewnston]

Dog will bring the toy to you if he values you and the toy together

[@oooyugi]

Thank you. Why is this ‘The most important game of all’ ?

[@thankmelater1254]

I don't know what Ivan's answer would be, but I'd say it's because that's how dogs play, naturally.

[@carolinapointretrievers8619]

How do we find out how to apply for the weekend course?

[@IvanBalabanov]

application link is in the description

[@Lil_Kumquat]

How many observational spots will there be?

[@IvanBalabanov]

50

[@watchmoivies123]

This dog reminds me a lot of my dog, but my dog actually resource guards do you have a problem with that? Seems like he kind of wanted to resource guard when he used his arms to hold onto it but I could be wrong. What’s your answer?

[@IvanBalabanov]

This is a common problem that I will be talking about at the workshop

[@watchmoivies123]

@@IvanBalabanov great thanks. I have asked a couple of times about Tina and ice. Do you still have Tina and his ice walking better and feeling better thank you.

[@travisblanchard88]

Could you do this on your own with the puppy on a back tie?

[@bandar1982]

How do you end the game?

[@IvanBalabanov]

I talk about this at length in the possession games video

[@oooyugi]

Confidence building ?

[@fallbrkgrl]

I adopted a 5 year old female GSD from the shelter almost 4 months ago. She's very fearful, and doesn't play. She's also not food motivated. I'm completely out of ideas on how to get her to engage, and want to work. Let's just say that she is doing a lot of laying around and sleeping. It's so hard to watch, and it's breaking my heart 🥹 I can't help but feel that she would be better off with a man... just want her to be happy.

[@thankmelater1254]

Did they have her on psych drugs?

[@fallbrkgrl]

@@thankmelater1254 since I got her from the humane society, I would think not. Before that, who knows. They had no history on her.
