"Forever fear"

This guy is just one in a million. There are plenty more just like him abusing our dogs.

*Do not let these abusers have your business? Do not board and train. Stay with your dog while they are being trained.
*Don't trust what anyone says until you verify it.
*Do not be impressed with fancy logos, websites and testimonials.
*Do not pay in advance of classes.
*Choose a Dog Trainer Like Your Dog's Life Depends On It.

"During last year’s investigation, the Miamisburg PD found that 65 different people had been charged a combined total of $200,000.. After Jones’s charges became public, more people came forward, and authorities identified a total of 133 different victims. Altogether, Jones is accused of taking $370,000."

The Dayton Dog Trainer, a trainer in Ohio, has pled guilty to charges of theft and animal cruelty after years of neglecting dogs trusted to his care.

I spent six days last week working from a beach house in Los Angeles, California. Hermosa Beach to be exact. It was an unbelievable week for many reasons. A big part of it was the people who were there with me. I have belonged to a small mastermind group for six years now. We get together in person

Attention Birmingham, England
January 17-19

Harmful dog training practices will no longer go unchallenged, and that includes taking a stand against Ivan Balabanov’s upcoming workshop in the UK. Balabanov is a vocal proponent of using pain, fear, and shock in dog training. He is unashamed and openly admits this. 

Balabanov’s ego is as shocking as his methods, as he openly refers to himself as “the best dog trainer in the world.” Yet, his methods have been debunked in scientific studies. In one recent study in which HE HIMSELF participated, 25% of the dogs subjected to his training methods failed to learn the desired behaviors. Worse, EVERY SINGLE dog in the shock collar group yelped in pain. These are not the hallmarks of a world-class trainer, but rather a glaring example of why these techniques have lost credibility worldwide.

The people of Birmingham and the broader UK deserve better. Ivan Balabanov does not represent the values or standards of modern, humane dog training. His upcoming workshop mirrors the tactics of his 2023 podcast guest, Augusto DeOliveira, by keeping the location secret likely to evade public accountability and protests.

When dog trainers willingly put themselves in a position of trust only to deny modern science and ethics, we in the public have the right to express concern and discontent lawfully and peacefully.

The RSPCA has been alerted and remains on standby as we all are actively working to locate the venue for Balabanov’s workshop out of concern for animal welfare and public health and safety. 

If you have any information about the location of this seminar, we urge you to reach out to us.

Civil discourse and public accountability are crucial to confronting these outdated and harmful practices.

Once upon a time we took our dog to a dog trainer and the dog trainer said ‘this dog is too much to handle’
so we found another trainer and the trainer said ‘this dog is too much to handle’
so we found another trainer and the trainer said ‘this dog is too much to handle’
so we found another trainer and the trainer said ‘this dog is too much to handle’
so we found another trainer and the trainer said ‘this dog is too much to handle’
so we found another trainer and the trainer said ‘this dog is too much to handle’
so we found another trainer and the trainer said ‘this dog is too much to handle’
so we found Dog Dangler and lived happily ever after.
