For those that do not know Ivan Balabanov Ivan Balabanov & Ot Vitosha Malinois - 2 x World Champions!
he lives 1.5 hours from me. I made an appointment for an one on one private lesson. I needed help with Dax's recall. Today I meet with his wife Natalia who actually was the instructor. I did meet Ivan as he introduced himself. Wow he is tall. :). As with all cases I(handler) was the problem. Dax did not understand the expectation of the recall. Within 3 attempts Dax was giving me a recall that I wanted. We worked inside a closed barn and then went out to their working field. Even with all the distractions of the dog smells and different sites Dax still was coming in for a recall. I was very happy. We have homework to do and in two weeks I will return for another lesson. This time Natalia will be bringing her male Malinois in the field as a distraction. Very proud of me in learning how to get what I wanted from Dax. :)
