This I like

In my opinion...every dog is different and trying to show someone that just one way should or have to work for all dogs is bad idea completely. I agree with using all tools but no for all dogs. If someone have great results with just positive, so fine. But my dog didn't just positive great. But I don't feel okay to give my dog on e collar or training with prong collar. If others people feel good about it and it's positive effect on dog, so what is problem? I know dogs using e collar fine and I know dogs which were spoiled by using e collar. There play role multiple circumstances. Like a situation, mentality and temperament of dog and timing of using.

I have been training IGP for over 30 years and this is the most intelligent method I have seen. I highly recommend the course to all IGP people, especially if you never really liked tracking that much. Obedience and protection are far more interesting for me, but with this method this might change in the future. Thank you, Ivan! We love it! 🙏 🙂

Please tell me where a pinch collar should be placed. I just need to settle an argument. Thank you.

Same with dog kennels

I think if I had seven Malinois, I'd need an E-Collar or two to control them! Seven!

It depends on the dog probably because some dogs are very sensitive to punishment. Doing that to a greyhound would cause more issues than good most likley. Belgian dogs aren't the same as others. I do think based on my reaserch that it is only a good idea with specific kinds of dogs and if done correctly. Ofcourse shocks can cause emotional stress long term if done the wrong way. There are many studies also showing the opposite of what you say, just because you disagree does not equal them to be entirely false. Victoria was being extreme, I see that.

Something about how these dogs are running with toys in mouth but not playing or making any noise seems very strange to me.

Some spooks, which obviously these working dogs are not in that category, can be damaged by having too high a level of shock, and improper use. If you confuse the dog, that's already spooky and nervous, due to poor genetics, yes you can harm the dog. This guy may not use one on those type of dogs. Also, the day would come that he would have to let some dogs out individually as I had to. I owned very large, very dangerous, very dominant male Rottweilers. You cannot have a little nip to let them sort it out. The males I had like Codo V Walkenbruckentor would not play with another male, even if I shocked him with a shock collar. In fact a shock collar would actually cause him to fight even more! I also owned a Belgian Sheepdog (Groenendale) who hated Rottweilers. After shocking him several times, and letting him play with a male dominant Rottweiler that I owned, which I did not attempt, I would not trust it at all! Any other behaviours, like breaking him from killing my cats, or chasing bikes, I did without e-colars. I only used a remote collar twice and bark colar twice in my 40 year career.

I just got 2 rescue Malinois and they’re both not trained yet, and adults. Please keep me in your prayers 😂😅

Just discovered Ivan....

At the end she talks down on dominance training while trying to dominate her fellow human 😆 🤣 😂

I’m a dog walker and one of the owners use an e collar for their dog, I don’t really care cuz I don’t think they’re evil tools or anything. I do think like anything else u can use it wrong or abuse it, the dogs has changed so much in only a month and it’s a the point here I’m worried about her. I just feel like the owners are shocking the dog anytime they get irritated by barking or anything and it’s evident from the way the dog looks at the remote that it’s not a good thing.

Thank you Ivan. If so-called trainers like "Victoria Stilwell" choose not to use ecollars in their training programs, great, but don't purposely set out to sabotage others with misinformation and negativity based on their own personal bias. At the end of your video, Victoria gets upset about the things she is saying are ridiculous yet here she is making a video about ecollars which are truly ridiculous. I'm all for advocating for the dog but doing so in a responsible way without throwing an exceptional tool under the bus.

She has no idea what the hell she is talking about.

2X world champion has harmony in a pack of off leash working dogs... true some people abuse the collars and many others have no business using an e-collar, but to say people who use these communication tools have no idea what they’re doing to the dog? Come on.

Ivan how many youtube channels do you have. You are all over the youtube but can't tell which one is your actual channel

Shocked dogs are more stressed during training than non-shocked dogs

She’s insulting herself by saying she’s the “god of dog training”

At what age should you consider having their ears taped?

Lol

This electric shock collar lover is desgusting

I'm sorry but the way most people treat their dogs, either never exercising them or never giving them any direction or leadership is what does the most psychological damage on them

She is party right, IF we are talking about people who use a shock collar for the sole purpose of stopping barking without the training behind it. If a person thinks that the collar in and of itself will solve a problem without addressing the root reason for the barking, and uses it to silence it for no other reason than a bark is annoying... then it is a problematic device. Barking is a normal thing, it is communication and how a dog expresses a variety of things, and punishing a dog for being a dog because you lack the ability to teach commands and such is no more than abuse on a dog. As with most everything, it depends on the context of why it is being used, and by whom and their intent. Yes, barking is annoying, but if you do not train the dog with proper commands and such, and think this is the only way to stop the problem, it is pointless. Used as a training tool alongside the steps to get a dog to not bark, it can be a tool that works. But using one just to silence a dogs bark at any time, without knowing why the dog is barking.. that is a different case. No one is denying they dont have their place in the training world, but that there are people out there who use them as punishment for a normal behavior without addressing the reason for that beheavior.

Lol stfu woman,my dog doesn’t listen to anything else, she is an angel, and I never have shocked her or hurt her, onlypositive training doesn’t work for some people, I use positive and vibrations/sounds and I will only ever use shock for emergencies.

Lmao that lady has no clue she and people like her are a big problem they are the Karen's of dog training

After educating myself quite thoroughly, I started training my dog with one a week ago. I have tried a lot of training methods but he was aggressive toward people and other dogs. He is a 13 pound pekingese who will attack a pit bull. He is so much happier! My e collar has a range of 1-99 and the most I have used is a 4. I actually enjoy walking him now.

she clearly doesnt know how to use the devise properly. i dont use it myself but in IPO i have seen trainers use it and without "torturing the dog" and produced good results.

Lmao, what a joke. The dog walker who got hired as a TV actor wants to school people on dog training

Once again look at the body of work I will go with Ivan!!! LOL, You have pet people asking a TV personality solving issues or people that have been in real competitions at the world level with nothing but a fur saver! Used correctly is a key phase for people to listen to and learn.

Bullshit vídeo

I normally don't like commenting on other trainers, but Stillwell is so far out in left field it's annoying. She lacks experience, she lacks common sense she is a terrible dog trainer with crazy ideas that are unfounded. Her claim to fame is a pretty face and a TV show that featured her because she was good looking.

i love how she attacks other trainers training methods thinking she queen of dog training news flash Stillwell your not!!!! most trainers are positive first some use prong collars and e collars i find nothing wrong with that using an ecollar to teach your dog to be off leash is a great tool to have i believe it was eaither jay jack or chad mackin say in one of their pod casts its not the tool its the fool they are absolutely right

She is very square minded and has an agenda for her tv show, she has to make things more dramatic, for the ratings, an ecollar is just a tool, could be used properly or could be used in an abusive way, but the abuser is the person not the tool. I've seen more people abuse a dog with a flat collar and leash, well, also with a choke collar. But i also thing not all the tools should be used by all the people, without the knowledge of how to use them properly.

You are a rockstar!!!. Sorry!! but I'm a fan of yours, you should make more videos, longer and more often. You are so knowledgeable!

piece of shit

You need to go to Ellis and Kroyer to really compare who's the best

Very well explained, so everything was done correctly.

Do they use these in schools?

Lmao that girl doesn’t know nothing like usual dog is a man best friend that lady needs to rely on going to the kitchen

well victoria you speaak a load of trash you are a disgrace and so called positive rienforcement only trainers are the problem why there are so many bad dogs out there im a trainer in the uk not an over hyped tv trainer a trainer in the real world with real people with real issues most of my clients come feom your positive only puppy and good citizen classes and are scared stiff of using the word no or a lead correction ffs get real and for you saying youve training with the best there is well thats a lie because you havnt trained with Ivan Balabanov who is arguably one of the best there is .i watched all of his malinois running around happy tails high no stress no owners shouting smacking there dogs just great balanced dogs. you need to get educated and stop conning the public.

I agree with the trainer

My dog get excited to wear the e collar becuase I can let him off leash and not worry about him running away and getting hit by a car :) e collars should be used as a last resort like my dogs. They were OUT OF CONTROL. And I finally had to use and e collar and he is so happy now! No this isn't a joke.

I find this funny cuz people are hating on people it's like a war and everyone wants to win 😂😂😂😂😂😂👌

She needs an e collar

If You wouldn't shock yourself with one Don't put it on your dog

WWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW 😂

Yassss

People who use shock collars need to learn how to train a dog properly because that is just desperate

My four year old rescue working line german shepherd would still be a horror to walk if it wasn't for prong collars. She had no self control and would get far too excited by seeing a dog in the distance to the point where she would scare the other other dog before they got close and then it would be aggressive. Now I can confidently walk past other dogs knowing that most of the time my dog will listen to me and trust my judgment and that when she doesn't or can't i can regain control. She still has a long way to go but her levels of fear and reactivity have been massively reduced. I use praise and reward as much as I can but the truth is what a dog like this who's been abused in the past and has little experience of life it would be impossible through reward alone to keep her calm enough to walk without it being a constant fight. I just wish the people who write the laws in my area had experience of actually using e-collars on the dogs that need them. Because my trainers have all said that to have her properly off lead I will almost 100% need an e collar. Unfortunately putting an e-collar on my dog will now result in a $16,000 dollar fine and a year in jail because of Ideologues like victoria stillwell. I've been working engagement and recall with "positive" methods for months and if theres something shed rather smell or another dog she simply won't come. Sharp jerks on a long line with lots of praise and treats when she returns give some results but I have very little confidence i'll ever be able to have her off lead. My vet and all the staff at the vet constantly compliment me on how much calmer and happier she is and how well trained. They often ask me for tips on how to train their dogs. If the prong collar truly distressed her she would not be as confident as she is today.
