Question by .: Michael Ellis school of dog training, thinking of taking some of his courses?
Now from what I understand, he’s one of the best. Has anyone on here taken any of his courses? I was looking into the protection theory and practice.
Best answer:
Answer by Nicole
don’t know about him, hope he uses positive training and not punishment. Victoria Stillwell (Animal Planet) uses positive training with excellent results. i’d recommend her methods, i’ve used them and they worked really well with my dogs.
What do you think? Answer below!


I’ve been to 3 or 4 Mike Ellis seminars. He’s intelligent, notices little things, funny, and cusses a lot, right up my alley aye?
His protection theory is spot on…I’ve never heard him say anything anybody who works dogs would disagree with (except the fact he’s not all gung-ho with the -push a dog to the limits and if it cracks it was a “bad” dog- theorists).
I’d say take them! I went to more than one of his seminars for a reason! He helped me a ton with targeting and teaching a driving bite.
