For those interested, the concepts in Ivans play courses are available here and in Lindsay’s books (though many trainers give things like Premack principal, different trade names) the concepts are the same.

I also purchased the cornerstone collection and really learned alot of the perspectives on play from Ivan. When combined with the framework of knowledge from the FSDT course it helped me a lot. In particular his aproach to the out comand works very well.

Hey.

Happy to see you playing. Some time ago i purchased „Cornerstone collection” from Ivan Balabanov and it was a Game changer about play. Worthy every $ just to see his approach to games. One 3h video i’ve watched like 8times.

I am so impressed with Vetra’s temperament and I love learning about her inclinations as we build her bite and “spar” during play. I have been increasing my physicality with her (petting, patting, squeezing her cheeks, leg bumping) during play to help her prepare for what will happen during protection training. She wins when she comes forward…

Play is so important! This is one of my fav excerpts from SRL’s handbook!

Just another session on just play. This time I was only throwing the ball and enjoying the moment. KJ needs some breaks during that time. All I want to show her is that I like to spent time with her by throwing a ball.

UPDATE

Response from his office:

“Hi Mr. Wallace,

This bill is currently considered “dead,” as there was no movement on it this year beyond being referred to the Agriculture Committee. To move forward, it would need to be reintroduced next year and assigned a new bill number before it can be voted on.

At this time, no action is necessary. However,…

I was hoping that AKC is better but it look like it’s the same like Kennel Club in UK… 😩

Good luck Kenny! I hope they will listen!

I sent my state assemblyman a Email yesterday. He’s very good friends with my town supervisor. who’s been also backing me on this topic. At this point I’m not holding back because I refuse to let this nonsense being pushed by these emotional activists that claim expertise in a topic they know nothing about…

You can write your legislators here. Opposition of legislation is encouraged before voting takes place.

Im one %1000 voicing opposition if this comes up. I will boycott the Conference next year and advise other DCO’s and Law Enforcement attending to do the same.

Member

Glad to hear someone is speaking up! I believe AKC is headquartered in Manhattan, I can’t imagine they would endorse this, especially if some of the national breed clubs started pressuring them with the knowledge that this sort of legislation makes ownership of their dogs difficult if not impossible. AKC has considerable legislative resources,…

I saw a few trainers posting about this yesterday, part of my duties as local PD includes dog control work.

I was at the NYS Dept of Agriculture and Markets ACO/DCO conference in Guilderland NY this past November. There was a so called “behaviorist” pushing the Michael Skikashi nonsense that Mike put a video out about. There was also…

The goal here was to add duration to a frontal approach on the dog, reinforcing that Kat needs to stay between mom and bad guy, and handling with tools that Ana uses when hiking and off leash. At the end you will see that Kat is unsure what to do when mom runs up on her, so she will drill at home during play and cookies with her son and Kat… Read more

I love that you are posting it’s great to learn from you. There are some tips that came make the fit of the collar more comfortable and consistent if needed.

Hey, we have done escape Conditioning on flexi before. At The beggining of this video that was just for gentle reminder. We done it at first with breaking The command. About Fitting The collar – she have to have it really tight, earlier i have a problem with no connection during drills and now i put it really tight. About food- i should…

Has KJ done escape conditioning on the flexi before? She looks great and is so grown up! She is very pretty!

Just a couple notes: It’s hard to tell if she is responding to the noticeable leash pull or the nick on the flexi. Before cutting dogs off leash I like to see them favorably respond to the nick with out the leash pull.

Has she received…

Golden Retriever. You might expect that her biggest drive is food… In the video as food the usual dry food, what if it was sausage? Lvl 127?

Either way. At the beginning a brief reminder of escape codnitioning. We didn’t practice this way before, because I left the food for the hardest tests, before that I used a toy. However, this kind…

Last training session from phase 2. We haven’t uploaded anything in a while. We’ve already started phase 3 and KJ is walking without a leash on footpaths where people pass the bike all the time, other people with dogs walk by, etc. “Heel” is at a really high level. Training quite loose, a little sloppy on my part, we find one mistake in the…

A little background:

Luna was a rescue who came in dangerous to handle. She is a highly emotional girl who dealt with ALL conflict (real or perceived) with combat. If she encountered anything that made her feel uncomfortable she would attempt to stop it by attacking the source of the conflict. If she was on leash, reacting at a trigger, and…
