Here’s what some of his clients and colleagues are
saying about him.

“I have been fortunate to train with Ivan for many years now and consider him a mentor and true friend. Without question, he has been a huge influence and inspiration to me as he has forever changed the way I think and train. I guess the ultimate compliment is that I work with him whenever I get the chance. Ivan is truly the best at what he does.”

“I only can recommend a seminar with Ivan Balabanov. It was really amazing, Ivan never looses concentration, gets tired or becomes inpatient. I have never seen somebody holding a seminar and working with each individual for so long one on one. It was really great! And also when Ivan explains something he likes to compare it with examples, so even the theory was colorful!”

“I started training with Ivan in 2004 with my Malinois Eli vom Teufelhund, who was one year old at the time. Under Ivan’s program we built an excellent foundation on Eli’s protection phase. Ivan was very instrumental in mine and Eli’s performances. Since I’ve been training with Ivan he has influenced my way of thinking on how dogs learn in the sport of schutzhund.”
