Training Without Conflict™ at Canine Sense

Discover how Canine Sense applies the Training Without Conflict™ method — a science-based approach to communication, play, and trust — to help dogs and owners across Berkshire & Surrey thrive.

What Is Training Without Conflict™?

Training Without Conflict™ (TWC) is a modern, science-driven approach to dog training created by Ivan Balabanov, one of the world’s most respected canine behaviour experts. Unlike methods that rely purely on treats or corrections, TWC focuses on clear communication, motivation, and play — ensuring that learning is rewarding, not stressful, for both dog and owner.

Through structured games, precise timing, and positive engagement, dogs learn to make confident choices and respond reliably without confusion or fear. The result is genuine understanding — not obedience born of pressure, but partnership built on trust.

Why Choose the Training Without Conflict™ Approach

  • Science-Based & Humane: Grounded in behavioural research and practical results.
  • Built on Play & Motivation: Uses structured play and reward to create joy in learning.
  • Clarity Over Conflict: Replaces pressure and guesswork with clear, consistent communication.
  • Adaptable to Every Dog: Works for puppies, adult dogs, and behavioural challenges alike.

By applying these principles, Canine Sense helps owners build the kind of relationship every dog deserves — calm, connected, and cooperative.
