Dog Training of Tampa Bay, Inc. Dog Training of Tampa Bay- Unparalleled Expertise, Credentials & Accomplishments are only some of th No two dogs are the same! They prefer a social lifestyle.

Over ninety percent of all behavior problems are related to the ability to effectively communicate with your dog. Research shows that every dog possesses a unique personality. According to Ivan’s observation and experience, behavioral characteristics of dogs differ to the same degree as they do in humans. Indeed, much of what is known about human personality types is also applicable to the study

of dog behavior. Every dog owner is well aware of the fact that Dogs are pack animals. However, these packs are structurally dynamic, different dogs also possess different drives. Breeds that are generally more responsive to human command, also usually manifest higher levels of socialized behavior in pack situations. This tendency leads many to conclude that dogs that are more socialized also possess a higher level of intelligence, than dogs that are more autonomous in their behavior. Ivan and Natalia Balabanov point out, however, that the distinguishing factor lies in the trainer’s ability to motivate, rather than the intelligence of the dog itself. Breeds with lower pack drives require less attention and companionship than more social dogs. At Dog Training of Tampa Bay, inc. we are proud to say that for us there no hard to train dogs! Ivan’s revolutionary system Obedience Without Conflict is based on the ability to clearly communicate with dogs! His patient style of teaching has made him the most popular coach of trainers in U.S.A.

Worked as an Animal Behaviorist for 5 years at The San Francisco SPCA ( the first non kill animal shelter in the world) his job was to evaluate and successfully rehabilitate dogs, who were referred by other professional dog trainers as hopeless cases.
