Columbia, MO- November 16, 2009- Canine Training Systems, the leading provider of broadcast quality instructional training titles for sport, service and companion dogs, today announced that The DV Awards has selected their most recent offering, Obedience without Conflict with Ivan Balabanov 3: The Retrieve as a 2009 DV Award Winner. This title is the third in The Obedience without Conflict series.

The DV Awards are graded on various items including creativity, technical merit and execution of ideas. A nominating committee views and recommends entries to quality as Finalists. From there they are viewed by a panel of judges that are seasoned professionals in the industry with an average of 20 years experience. They have a diverse background representing all areas of production including cinematography, art direction, editing, sound, scriptwriting, animation and visual effects.

Obedience without Conflict 3 is the third in the Award-Winning series with Ivan Balabanov, a Bulgarian dog sport competitor and coach that has risen to prominence since his move to the United States. In 2007, Ivan won the FCI All Breeds World Championship with Quenny ot Vitosha as well as the 2007 FMBB (Belgian Shepherd) World Championships with a 98 point Obedience routine! With Quenny, Ivan also won the 2005, 2006 and 2007 American Working Dog Federation Championships! In addition to his success with Quenny, Ivan earned a fourth place with Vice World Champion Django ot Vitosha.

Four “Ot Vitosha” dogs, all bred by Ivan, made the USA team!

“The Balabanov Method involves giving as much information to the dog as possible. In this way, the dog will solve the problem at hand more easily and with less frustration,” states Mark Plonsky, PhD. “Ivan places great emphasis on a relationship between the dog and handler that is based on trust.”

Product Highlights

Once these objectives are achieved, then the student detector dog will have achieved the special attributes of the Hare-trained detector dog: The dog will possess a crystal-clear understanding of his task, and he will display the kind of obedience to odor that makes it virtually impossible to disturb or distract him during search or indication.  He will also exhibit an extraordinary degree of independence and self-belief while searching. Finally, the dog will display pronounced and obvious changes of behavior when he encounters target odor, accompanied by prolonged and intensive efforts to pinpoint the odor source prior to making a final indication.
