At Canine Sense, all training is founded on the Training Without Conflict™ methodology developed by Ivan Balabanov. This modern, science-based system focuses on communication, play, and mutual understanding - helping dogs learn with confidence and enthusiasm rather than stress or confusion.

Training Without Conflict™

Flurina’s training philosophy is centered around the principles of Training Without Conflict™ - a groundbreaking approach that prioritises understanding and communication between dogs and their owners.

By moving away from traditional food-based training methods, Flurina emphasises the importance of play and the emotional bond shared between humans and their pets. Her techniques are designed to inspire engagement and cooperation, allowing for a more effective training experience and lasting behaviour modification.

Why Training Without Conflict™ Works

Instead of relying solely on rewards or corrections, this approach teaches clear communication through structured games and motivational exercises. It creates a learning environment where dogs enjoy participating and owners gain a deeper understanding of their dog’s behaviour.
More about Training Without Conflict™

Approach

Through her training sessions, Flurina employs the latest scientific insights into canine learning theory, tailoring her methods to suit the unique needs of each dog-owner team. She recognises that dogs are highly intelligent creatures, capable of forming complex emotional connections with humans. This understanding shapes her approach, as she aims to bridge the gap in communication that often leads to misunderstandings in behaviour.

Flurina encourages dog owners to cultivate a “canine sense,” promoting a deeper understanding of their dogs’ psychology. By focusing on rapport, trust and cooperation, her training methods aim to empower owners to build lasting relationships with their pets, ultimately enhancing the overall well-being of both the dog and the owner.
