Excellent interview! Especially the second half where Micheal talks about the inbred traits of the Mali vs German shepherds and the traits bred for the different sports. Loved the mount Rushmore questions too. Started taking leerburg’s and Micheal’s classes in the early 2000’s and have loved him since then. Thank you!
It’s neat to hear about his early years of dog training. I remember back in the 90s when I was about 16 years old reading the Leerburg website articles in my beginning years of learning how to train dogs. Michael is a wealth of knowledge. I’ve never met him in person but hope to someday. Thanks for doing this interview! Edited: typo
If you're even remotely in to dog training you need to know who Michael ellis is. He's hands down one of the best trainers out. He's your favorite trainers favorite trainer.
REALLY enjoyed this interview, Nick! A couple of my favorite books on teaching are The Talent Code by Coyle, and What the Best College Teachers Do by Bain. A lot of the teaching discussion reminded me of these books.
Interesting to see how we have transitioned from treats to corrections. It's expected. Also your sensor or humour in impeccable, you manage to make me laugh in every onenof your videos. What age and when do you start using a prong? Ecollars? I was thinking of combining a slip lead snd treats for my lil guy 8 1/2.
Great interview thank you.......fyi the interviewer is only in the left ear and Ellis is on the right side. I could only hear the answers because i can only wear the earbud in the right ear.
Any one interested in breeding and genetic look up Kenny troiano and the breeders academy Back crossing, linebreeding, inbreeding all very useful techniques when u have the knowledge and understanding
Show me a finished dog?!! Everyone has to train and keep training 👀don't they call that refreshing 😂in the sport world 🌎🌍 Sport is not personal protection, no reason why sport trainers would advertise that other than money goal 🤔 If you're not a personal protection/ defense trainer you don't know personal protection. If you say you do your teaching are backed by police, military, and sports. A sport dog can't be reactive and a defense/personal protection dogs should be based on space/approximatey. Most books and his teachings are breed based as well (gsd/mals).
@@CharlieTheCaneCorso all his information came from books based on police, military and shutzhund/sport. The dogs gsd, mals and herders. Personal protection is based on what?
i LOVE Michael Ellis .. he is incredible.
Anyway, the reality is that Michael Ellis has an incredible natural talent for teaching and reading people's concerns.
Doc Stewart hilliard said Michael is without peer, and that is a strong statement for the head of the USA military breeding program
Dog trainer extraordinaire. Period.
This guy was the first video I ever watched - his leerburg series - nailed the interview of one of the Greats
Michael is amazing, thanks for this awesome interview!!
