The Power of Play with Legendary Dog Guru Ivan Balabanov
Ivan AKA @trainlikeivan (https://www.instagram.com/trainlikeivan/) is a 2 Time IGP World Champion, 14 time National Champion, and leader in the dog world. If this man is competing in dog sport, he's winning! Ivan is a household name in the industry and has dedicated 40 years to training, breeding, and advancing how we communicate with dogs. Today Ivan walks us through the art and vast array of benefits of play.
Ivan uses play as the foundation for his training as the very act is genetically encoded into all mammal’s chemical makeup. There is a biological need to play. You can get any dog to play. Some may take more effort than others.
In this live Ivan discusses:
- Art of Play
- Play in Mammals
- Energy from owner on to dog
- Personal stories
- Possession Games
- IGP
- IGP tips
- Consequences in Game
Always a pleasure, Ivan! Thank you for making time 🙏

Decoying & Discipline ~ the art of training with Jared Wolf | Wolfpack Canine
Jared Wolf is a PSA K9 Decoy, professional dog trainer & owner of @wolfpackcanine (https://www.instagram.com/wolfpackcanine/) in New Hampshire, and a certified badass handler to his 2 year old Malinois @akuma_the_mali (https://www.instagram.com/akuma_the_mali/).
Jared was inspired to go into PSA by his pitbull Thai, a true Unicorn who possessed all the qualities needed for a successful PSA dog. He had the temperament, drive, strength, etc. & checked all the boxes. Jared worked hard to pull those qualities out of him which lit his passion for dog training.
Unfortunately, Thai passed in a house fire - but his spirit lives on through Jared and his new Malinois, Akuma (who Jared says owes everything to Thai).
The duo is one of our favorite teams to watch. The training is like art with precise heel work and speed coupled with inspiring music that moves you.
Jared opens up about his experience as a decoy, how he got started and learned the ropes, how to improve a focused heel & speed, his goals for Akuma, and more.
Sadly, he did not do the #orbitchallenge (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/orbitchallenge/) PART 2 dance... but we will look forward to him and Akuma’s *drop dead* rendition.
Cheers to you, Jared! Thank you for sharing so much with us. Keep inspiring us all 🙏

HOW TO CALM THE ANXIOUS DOG | YOLO PUP x Ring and Run Dog Walkers
Amanda Anderson launched her Staten Island dog training business, Ring and Run Dog Walkers, in 2014. Dogs had always been an important part of her life... despite getting bit a few times. Today, she’s head honcho at Ring and Run Dog walkers, a company that takes care of the community’s dogs. “We never felt comfortable with anyone handling our dog and realized we couldn’t be the only ones!” Amanda says after working our dog through some issues we realized dogs needed more than just a stroll around the block. Out of that mindset, the biz was born. The passion and purpose has always been to help owners live more fulfilled, enriched, and meaningful relationships with their dogs. In this live we discuss: - Clear communication - Importance of a balanced mind - Dog Training schedule - How to calm an over excited dog - How to greet visitors Thank you so much for joining us, Amanda! Keep those videos coming 🙌🙌
