Ep. 2 - Dog Training with Expert Ali Van Es

Season 1 · Episode 2

Friday, March 28, 2025 • Duration 56:51

Today’s guest is Ali Van Es — a certified professional dog trainer who began her journey at the prestigious Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers. After completing her formal education, Ali continued her development by learning directly from some of the top sport dog trainers in the country and regularly attending advanced workshops and seminars.

Her passion for animals started young, but dogs have always held a special place in her heart. By the age of 18, Ali was already training professionally, joining the team of a dog training company where she had previously attended classes with her own dogs. While she enjoyed helping handlers strengthen communication with their dogs, she felt limited by the group class format and sought a more personalized approach.

That drive led her to launch her own training company — where she could truly tailor each session to the individual needs of both dog and handler. Helping people build stronger, more effective relationships with their dogs is something she takes great pride in.

Beyond her work with pet dogs, Ali is also active in the competitive world of dog sports. She currently competes in Mondioring — a protection sport — with her Belgian Malinois, and has also trained in Rally, Lure Coursing, Dock Diving, and Herding. Most recently, she’s diving into the world of advanced Trick Dog Training.

Tom’s accomplishments in the dog world are unmatched. He’s won countless competitions with dogs he personally raised and trained, became the first American to score a perfect on an FH track, and developed the now-famous Puppy Imprinting Program — even coining the term “imprinting” as it applies to dogs.

Tom was also the first to import the Belgian Malinois into the United States and has authored three major dog training books. His school has produced some of the most successful professional trainers in the world, thanks to its rigorous, results-driven curriculum.

In this episode, we talk about:

🐾 The origins of puppy imprinting and its impact
🧠 What it takes to build elite-level obedience and protection dogs
🏆 The mindset behind championship-level competition
🛠️ Why so many of today’s best trainers come from The Tom Rose School

Jun 12, 2020 Dog Training Questions and Answers!00:25 - My puppy outside of training is not coming when called. 04:30 - I just brought my 4-month-old puppy in for his booster shots and checkup at the veterinarian and she told me that my puppy was very difficult to restrain and that he did not like being held down for blood work etc. Should one expect a puppy that old to not complain when being restrained?08:48 - How do I transition him from food rewards to playing tug as a reward?10:28 - How do you teach a puppy not to jump on the couch?12:42 - My dog is so nosy when people come over. Any suggestions on how to fix that?15:12 - If I tell my dog a command and he doesn't comply, I correct him, then he will comply. Should I then reward the dog or just go on to the next command?16:13 - How do you train a dog to have a more reliable recall even when she's busy doing something else?17:48 - How much and how often do you feed your dogs daily? 19:14 - My 14 Week old puppy has started barking at people when they come in our yard. Is it best to wait until he is not barking, then mark and reward or try and have him close to me and feed him and distract him before people walk in? - We are learning to do the run walk run method of running. I do 1 min run and 30-sec walk. My problem is when we do an out and back run, on the way out they drag behind me, then on the way back, they will run beside me. Why? All I can figure is that they are thinking woohoo we are going back home and I want to get there fast. How can I get them to run beside me the whole time? - I’m going to get a Great Pyrenees puppy this fall and I was doing research into the breed and it says that they’re neither food nor toy motivated. When I talked to the breeder she said that motivation is the hardest thing about training them. I’ve watched all your videos on motivation but was wondering if you have any specific tips on training dogs that are harder to motivate and get bored easily. Thanks a lot! - I have an 8-year-old staffi who has separation anxiety. - Can I train two puppies together or do I need to do individual training time for each? - Coco (fearful female 1.5 years) Scout (overweight male 2 years) Coco has separation anxiety from Scout. - Do you keep training treats on you all the time or you have dedicated training sessions? Do you use your markers during non-specific training periods? - My dog has a lazy sit. - Some advice on collecting your puppy and transporting them home would be great? - In your video, you use a hard bone for puppies. - I have a short question, and I remember you saying you feed your dogs a raw diet. - I’m just curious if you can elaborate a little bit on why we are using Free instead of yes during retrieval training? - I made the mistake of teaching my dogs to stay quiet and not bark. Now I want her to bark but she hardly does. - What's the difference between place and climb? - Most trainers that I know use Command and Cue interchangeably. What you are calling the ‘Cue’ starts as a lure or something and turns into a hand signal?
