    Ivan has it all when it comes to his understanding of dogs. Truly one of a kind & I appreciate his work & passion to contribute to the division within dog training. He is an expert & has my upmost respect. Can’t believe I listen to his 3 hour episodes, but I do! 🤓🤭

  • Please let your interviewees speak!!

    He’s got some really great guests but he insists on instead of asking questions, giving great long sermons and then the interviewee has little space to answer. I find his own opinions fairly uninteresting so it’s a shame he doesn’t give his interviewees more time. Have stopped listening for this reason, it’s too boring fast forwarding all Ivan’s long opinion pieces.
