At Canine Sense, training is founded on the Training Without Conflict™ method developed by Ivan Balabanov. This modern, science-driven system focuses on relationship, play, and mutual understanding - helping dogs learn with confidence and enthusiasm.

Training Without Conflict™

Flurina’s training philosophy is centered around the principles of Training Without Conflict™ - a progressive approach that prioritises understanding the individual dog and improving communication between dogs and their owners. Rather than following rigid, one-size-fits-all methods, training is adapted to the dog in front of you.

Moving away from traditional food-based training methods, Flurina emphasises the importance of play as a powerful training tool, using structured games to build rapport, cooperation, and motivation. This approach helps address behaviour challenges at their root, supporting meaningful and lasting behaviour change rather than short-term compliance.

Why Training Without Conflict™ Works

Training Without Conflict™ works by focusing on what truly motivates a dog — the relationship it shares with its owner. By using structured games that incorporate obedience, this approach creates a learning environment where dogs enjoy participating, and owners gain a deeper understanding of their dog’s behaviour and needs.
More about Training Without Conflict™

Approach

Through her training sessions, Flurina employs the latest scientific insights into canine learning theory, tailoring her method 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 method aims to empower owners to build lasting relationships with their pets, ultimately enhancing the overall well-being of both the dog and the owner.
