What do you prefer
Ivan Balabanov Video Series "Obedience with out Conflict" from Canine Training Systems

or the Michael Ellis series available from Leerburg

I don't know why I'm not asked for poll questions?
Lets keep it simple. One reply per poster please. Which do you prefer and why

My vote is ME. More user friendly, clearer explanations, more examples/demos

I think we should open some more lines for polling, they must be jammed with all the people trying to vote at the same time.
Oh I don't know it will be close too close to call! ahhahahah
i will vote, but before i do I want everyone to know in advance mine will be better than either of those guys because mine is titled "Best of Ivan Michael and Cesar"...... and i'd like to add it has been superbly done with stunning CG and other added audio and video effects, including some never seen b4 clips of Lady Gaga imitating a J Jackson bra drop ... my only holdup right now are the small problems my legal team is having since a couple of those guys got wind of it and got a hold of a bootlegged copy and are bitching and complaining about copyright infringements and other pissy stuff .... not sure when this will get cleared up, but when it does, any WDF member will get 20% of the online price....at that point any vote will be a no brainer

the legal hassle is going to cost me more than i had budgeted for, but since i also have a nice hefty sum of greenbacks coming my way soon from this confidential Nigerian inheritance that was left in my name to collect, all is good on this end
- so just be patient a little while longer and trust me ... :)

Rick would you say it's going to be more like a compilation, tribute or concept album?
I guess the main difference between the two is that Ivan has proved his training, handling skills at international level where as ME has not really done much in high level competition. Other than that they seem pretty similar.
Peter, I would just call it a super knock off ... isn't that what all us so called trainers are anyway ?

there's only a few great ones ... and it's all genetics :)
very few people know the story about when Ivan was in his crib as a baby ..... when he was waving his hands around his parents looked down at him and were startled ... "look, the little guy is already fading his lures and creating tug misses !!"

re : regarding who has the better videos

one thing fur sure on this forum
no matter how specific your Q's
it's guaranteed you'll get lots of opinions that have nothing to do with em, as well as the best sarcasm i've ever seen on any list ... i was on a harley list for years with some pretty sharp wits, but those guys were not even in the same league compared to WDF :) ROTF

?????comparing videos shows that?????
I am not attracted to either one of them personally...:)
With or without the dew rags...

In the Uncut and Unrated version of Ivans last DVD he calls out Ellis and smack talks him.
and they should each have their dogs with em nose to nose on a split screen ...separated by that MacMann dude fm WWF with a tug mike in his hand
i'm so tired, depressed and pissed off tonight anything is better than talking dogs b4 i crash and burn :-(

Well said!
Ivan has done it in a sport that is a 1000 times bigger and has been to the top multiple times, as well as people he trains with down in Florida!
Some people don't need to prove anything, they just smile and talk nice!
Let's be serious, how many people compete at the level 3 Mondio in the USA? I don't believe ME has won the US Mondio and there was what 5 or 6 dogs entered? :-\". I believe ME just titled his first dog to a 3 in Mondio within the last few years!
How many people did Ivan beat with the World Championship wins ;)
Well, my vote is DEFINITELY for a Lady Gaga inspired bite suit in the next Micheal Ellis Video! FABULOUS!!!!! Ivan can wear the suit.
O.P.: "Lets keep it simple. One reply per poster please. Which do you prefer and why."
