"There is no better or faster way to give a scared dog confidence than by playing tug-of-war."
Those are the words of dog genius Ivan Balabanov.
They might not be the exact words... but they are pretty damn close to what he said on a Facebook live a few months ago when he was talking about working with scared shelter dogs.
And let's be crystal clear...
Ivan is NOT talking about the generic tug-of-war most trainers and owners know.
He talking about a very unique version Ivan invented and developed called: The Possession Games.
And after personally having so much success... with so many dogs... using what Ivan has taught me... I agree 100%.
Dog training is not just reinforcing and punishing behaviors.
Working with dogs is so much bigger than that.
It's about...
Tapping into their genetics... bringing them out... unlocking their innate potential... giving them a purpose... and...
Making them somebody.
That's the #1 goal.
The rest is easy once you can do that.
Luca... the dog in this video... is 1.5 years old.
He is very insecure and afraid of the world.
But he has a very strong, confident and brave beast inside him.
It's all there in his genes just waiting to be woken up.
Waiting to grow and be released.
And when that happens... it's like you have a totally different dog... almost overnight.
Then those wonderful qualities are controlled and guided into the purpose you give him.
If you are astute... I don't have to tell you.. this is NOT suppression.
It's incredible expression... of who and what they were meant to be.
And it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen... and been able to do in my life.
I give the dogs a purpose... and they give me one, too.
