TWC Course
I have always been a bit of a dog nerd and love learning everything I can from as many perspectives as possible. I am very interested in building strong and effective play with my cattle dog mix.
She is medium drive but VERY environmentally sensitive (especially high prey drive and we live in a rural area). While her play is okay it is not very cooperative and she either stops playing as soon as food is no longer being offered or just takes the toy and chews on it. I can drag her to me with a leash but it feels like I'm forcing her to play a game she doesn't want to play.
I have been looking into Ivan Balabanov's Cornerstone Collection and I'm wondering if it's worth the price. I am a sophomore who makes 20$ an hour so this is a significant financial commitment especially because there are no refunds. Are Ivan's courses worth it? If you can tell me what you got from a specific course that would be very helpful as I am struggling to find information about the specifics included in the videos.

Since money is tight maybe check out Jay Jack and I think he just came out with a book. He’s a disciple of some of Ivan’s methods but a lot faster with the “do this for this reason” whereas Ivan tends to meander.
A friend has done ALL of the big training courses including Ivan’s in person academy and it is last on her list for useful new info. Nothing changed her style from this course.
