I'm so glad I found this interview! I had to stop going to my club for various reasons, but one was because I was getting a lot of inconsistent advice from the training director and when I asked for more clarification and help, I would just get blown off. He also had a super inflated ego. Hearing this interview has made me think I was at the wrong club.
So damn good
Great interview. Thank you both.
This makes me miss Schutzhund (dating myself). At 68, I've been retired for years. I loved bringing out the best in my dogs, which varied greatly. As Robert often says, "love the dog you have". That kind of love shines through in this interview.
Frank Phillips is an expert who loves dogs and works with them in the most humane way possible and he truly understands dogs. Communication is the key! Good tools in the right hands mixed with love and passion will yield excellence. Wonderful interview!
“You can ruin it but you can’t create it”is so true! Also pertinent to performance horses- great genetics- awesome interview🧬 Thanks R.C.
Absolutely!
I can't tell you how much I learned from this interview. Wow!
Wow. So informative. I never knew. Thanks. Both my GS pups now 8 months would never get to any level but we love them just the way they are. Terds!! Lol thank you 💜
Wow! So wonderful you're interviewing the big dogs in sport. I love these interviews. Frank & Avi are the bomb! I just started getting into IPO/IPG. Avi was the very first person in ipo that I met and spoke to at WDC a few yrs ago.
(I went as a spectator and volunteer). I didn't know anyone.. didn't even know who AVI was. Imagine being so green and the first person you meet is the biggest og icon of the sport. AVI is funny and has the best stories! I remember being in the hotel bar and Avi yells.. hey everyone this is Dawn she is here alone and new to the ipo and the organization! She knows nothing.. be nice! Laugh so hard!
The knowledge & wisdom & sincerity expressed by him and so many of the guests you talk with at that beautiful table is not only educational, but so refreshing. I have been a member on your site for a year or so, and I am continually impressed with not only the content and your training methods, but also in the broad spectrum of information you share on the site & here on TH-cam. It is great to know there are people left in this country with integrity & humility about something they have a true passion for : DOGS! Not worried they will offend or be shunned over E-collars or having a pure bred dog, etc. I just had to thank you & your guests for sharing so much information. Much can be learned from hearing how they approach training or things they have seen, for anyone who owns a dog. No matter the make or model, dogs are dogs, tiny to giant, they all have their attributes & deserve to live their best life. This kind of content helps make that happen for many dogs, I am sure of it. Thank you & keep up the great work.
I can say with confidence that as a helper who performed under Frank as a judge, I’ve never had a judge push me further in a trial setting. He helped me really strive for greatness in a Championship that I consider the turning point of n my championship trial journey. Awesome guy
I loved listening to Mr Frank Phillips. He brought a lot of knowledge and good sense. I loved the explanation of "the break down in tiny pieces" for the attack out of back transport. Great episode: Thank you Mr Robert
I train with Frank. He is a great guy. Great teacher. Taught me a lot.
you're lucky to have a great trainer like Frank!
@@RobertCabralDogs Very. He is a lovely person. He also can train chickens....did he tell you? Be well.
This is so great! Thanks Robert!
I had an experience today, I went to my vet to pick up some puppy Giardia meds, and an older lady was there with a tiny carrier, upset, crying softly, she lifted something out of it, the tech said “are you ready, or do you want some more time?” and that was it for me, big grown man, I started crying myself. Reminded me of my two Somali cats (they were short haired, so really Abyssinians) that both had cancer that I had to put each down, I was just wrecked each time. It’s taken me more than a decade to get a dog, now I have a 12 week GSD.
Quality! Frank Phillips brings so much good sense and heart to the discussion. I love the focus on doing what's best for the dog and giving points for connectivity, not just technique. These sports and high-level training are amazing, but it's so important to remember that the dogs don't have ambition and ego in sport -- they just love to flow and connect with their handlers. Our main job as dog owners should be to work with ALL of what the dog is, not just working them like machines but appreciating them as spirits. Thanks to both of these guys for a great interview.
I loved the interview! Thank you!
This is so good I’m on my 3rd time viewing it and might go for a 4th! Thanks a mill best weekend educational entertainment ever!
Great episode! Please share the study about the retention and stress levels with ecollar, prong collars etc!
Love this episode and also the one with Avi! Keep it up
I love hearing and learning different perspectives on training. Great episode!
Fascinating. One of the best interviews ever! Thank you! (Probably just my iPhone, had a little trouble with the volume. (Low). Easier to turn down, at top volume there is no more). Will be watching this one several times. Excellent interviewee, excellent interviewer.
Late to this interview but was really good and informative, glad I came across it. Heard of Frank from my club but never meet the man but understand his accomplishments...seems like a down to earth guy and keeps things in the proper perspective when it comes to interaction with the dog, fairness and clarity is essential!! At the end of the day, it's all about the dog, they give us the opportunity to do this sport! Also, the link is still broken, any updates on a correct one? The comment can't be true unless it can be verified...as we say in the military (retired), "trust but verify". Thank you.
Fabulous talk, and Kliff was a Legend👍👍
Loved this video!!! Would love to see more with top Working dog trainers/competitors like Ivan Balabanov, Bart Bellon, Tim Cutter.
Very informative and lot of learning. Thank you both.
Glad you enjoyed it!
AWESOME episode thanks for sharing
This is sooo awesome!!! Thank you Robert and Frank!!!
Excellent, incredibly insightful interview 🙌
Please interview Larry Krohn aka the ecollar guy. this one for sure will be a banger
I plan on it. Waiting for him to be in the la area.
@@RobertCabralDogs cant wait
I use clickers as well as e collars, depends on what I am teaching . Really enjoyed this. Thanks Robert : )
Amazing information!
I agree, this interview and the one with Mr Goosby a few months ago are my favorites of this series. Keep it up!
My Dutchy is a 14 y old S&R but she is pretty much the same as the Malinois described in the intro truly blessed much respect
Robert check with Michael Ellis for the report on the effect of verbal vs prong collar vs electric. If I recall properly it was a study in Mexico with Malinois dogs. They measured the cortisol levels to pinpoint the effect on the dog of the 3 correction methods.
Fantastic!
Great job !
"no matter how pissed I get its still the same button" I felt that.
Right now its really hot and so my rottweiler is walking slow and always pulling toward store fronts to try and go inside. Im hot and tired too so I get really annoyed at this and I have to try so hard not to over correct due to my over frustration.
Curious how Mals do compared to GSD in the open IGP competition?
My Malinois is very loving and seeks attention when we have visitors- after she's gotten all the barking out, insisting sometimes. She's a great nap buddy too. She sleeps like a baby.
When Frank hits the field nobody says a word.
When Frank hits the field, is there anyone else even on the field?
@@RobertCabralDogs I had the pleasure of watching him with his dog cliff compete. The place was quiet.
Great interview! What is the name of the new e collar from Europe Frank mentioned ? Thank you
I believe be said Markman e collar but I can't find it online. Perhaps it's spelled differently. I do know that Dogtra makes a great one though with a finger control.
@@primalcritters Thank you
@@primalcritters Martin's system
@@frankphillips4141 Thank you so much
and what do you think about using the tone on the ecollar as the noise for the click vs a separate device that clicks
the start scene is amazing, describes my Django in every bit.
Please find that study and post it. I'm tired of arguing with positive only people and having them site their ridiculous studies that are likely conducted with incredible bias in non real world applications. And I especially loved hearing the conversation about Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd. I agree, I want a dog that can live with me, not be kenneled 24/7.
Man jist ignore them...perfect example os that Zac youtuber dog trainer...he is positive only trainer ,very famous, even more famous that our Robert but still after few years of having his dog he cant walk him properly on leash, thats about positive only training😂... do you think this IPO world champion dogs came from positive only training? Absolutely not
@@simons1793 yes Zach is a joke. I know he seems like a very nice man, and if he were a dog would likely be some type of doodle, but he is really doing a disservice to dogs and their people. How is putting a muzzle on a freaking mini Aussie any more appropriate than a Herm sprenger or high quality e collar is on a Mal or GSD?! I saw one of his dumb videos and he did this as a "precaution" likely because he can't control any dog. Not dog training but defintely pure comedy. Thanks for the tip. I worry that these fools will get good tools outlawed here as they are in the UK
@@primalcritters so true...yesterday i was on ranch and my gsd was to excited and lunged at horse to bite him, i yanked him really hard and put him to his down position and went 100 meters to see how is the horse, my dog didnt slightly move, and all that because it was a proper correction...Can you imagine Zac controling High drive young dog with horses? I surely cant😂 . Yeah he seems like a really nice guy but his training is very off
The link is not working, can someone tell me where i can find that study or what`s the name of it!?
Robert! please link that study for the rest of us :)
done
Where can I found the study about the e-collar?
I believe someone posted the link. I’ll check.
so then the next question is, what is the best ecollar training methods to use?
you can check my site robertcabral.com/training/yt
for my ecollar training!
did you ever find the study?
yes, will post
Martin Collars are THE best engineered collars ever...most humane. Box collar is ancient technology...
Cliff is beautiful.
why are americans using the german terms ?
Same reason Germans use English words. There’s no law against it.
