Description
Ivan AKA @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:

Always a pleasure, Ivan! Thank you for making time 🙏
