Obedience without Conflict Tape 2: The Game
This award winner is packed with detailed instructional information. This production details:

• "The Game" detailed as the motivational engine behind Ivan's obedience system
• Utilizing prey motivation while eliminating the negative side effects encountered in other systems
• teaching the out command as an instrumental exercise
• creating immediate response to sit and down commands by voice command alone
• teaching static attention; both two-way and one-way attention
• teaching the major passive skill of heeling by 'finding the leg'
• the gymnastic skills of correct left, right and about turns
• teaching the stand in motion
• the integration of active and passive exercises into the obedience routine

A strong emphasis is placed on teaching the dog self control to minimize correction,achieve precision through motivation and signaled non-reward as well as how to respond to cues in an instant which have been isolated to verbal cues alone. Distraction training is taught in this production using Clear Communication as the basis for guiding the dog through obedience training. When to raise criterion and achieving fluency with behaviors is discussed so that each trainer knows when to progress to the next level with their dog. An emphasis is placed on comprehension of skills rather than simply training behaviors.

Obedience without Conflict Video 3: The Retrieve
Ivan's innovative approach to the divide between inducive and compulsive methods is bridged in this, the third, in the Obedience without Conflict series. Through the use of tension and minimum force, Ivan demonstrates this innovative technique for creating a world class retrieve through the isolation of the "hold" behavior. The distinction between holding and gripping is made clear and the topography of the retrieve is discussed and taught step by step.

This title covers the most challenging aspect of the retrieve exercise- speed and solid gripping under stimulus control. Through discrimination exercises the dog is also taught the cues for jumping and climbing through distraction while building a foundation for fast retrieving through unconflicted play. This title focuses on isolating speed while teaching correct holding through the use of a Retrieve Dowel, jumping and climbing behaviors under distraction and then combining the behaviors once taught and conditioned under independent stimulus control.

Broadcast Quality- 72 minutes. This title is heavily reliant upon the communication techniques and methods taught in Obedience without Conflict: Clear Communication and requires a Retrieve Dowel.
