Training Without Conflict™ at Canine Sense
Discover how Canine Sense applies the Training Without Conflict™ method - an approach built on relationship, clear communication, play, and trust - to help dogs and their owners thrive across Berkshire & Surrey.
What Is Training Without Conflict™?
Training Without Conflict™ (TWC), developed by Ivan Balabanov, one of the world’s most respected canine behaviour experts, is a comprehensive dog training method centered on creating a cooperative partnership between dog and handler. Rather than relying on rigid, one-size-fits-all training systems or purely operant-based approaches, TWC focuses on understanding the individual dog — including their genetics, drives, and biological needs.
Through structured games and clear communication, dogs learn to make confident choices and respond reliably. The result is genuine understanding — not obedience born of pressure, but partnership built on trust.

- Clarity Over Conflict: Replaces confusion and guesswork with clear, consistent communication.
