David Miller In a world where people do evil things to others, we all must be
prepared. I was looking for a protection dog for about a year and
happened to come
upon Premier Protection Dogs during my quest.After having made a few
phone calls to other sites, I started following what Ivan suggests you to
do
– “check out the credentials of the people training the dogs”.Some
trainers were hesitant to talk about their credentials and others
tried to
boast of their accomplishments with their dogs and sales.Ivan did none of
these.When my wife and I
finally decided to see Ivan and his training facility
we went in with an open mind.
We were greeted warmly and Ivan answered
all of our questions.When he
brought our Prince, and I called his name,
Prince came running over to me and rolled over onto his back as if he’d
been
my dog all along.The
dog is for my wife and our business. Prince took to her
commands very easily.After
three days of training at Ivan’s facility and two
different malls, a coffee shop, and a recreational park, we took
Prince home. Ivan worked individually with my wife to insure she was comfortable
with Prince in any situation.We have seen more than 15 different people come to Ivan’s
facility and train their dogs. All dog owners had nothing but
positive remarks of Ivan and his training.It is clearly evident that Ivan does have a way of
communicating and getting dogs to do what is desired in a clear,
concise, human way.
Sometimes after making a major purchase you might get “buyers
remorse” – not in this case for my wife and I.Prince was such a loveable and easy-going dog and a great
traveler.He has done
everything we have asked of him and more.In less than a month, Prince has made our home and car his.He is very protective of both of these; however, we can
still bring people to our house.I would recommend Ivan to anyone looking for a superior
protection dog - not only would you be getting that but also your
“top buddy”!!

Because you are reading this page and
considering buying a personal
protection dog, I am sure that you
want a dog that can do his job...ie
...protecting you and your
family and also not be a liability in any way.
Ivan's dogs will
exceed your expectations. My name is Vicki Keller and
probably
like you, our family leads an active busy life with friends,
family ,children, grandchildren and other pets and lots of coming
and
going. And we want the security that a well trained protection
dog
adds to our family. I contacted Ivan because of his reputation
as a
true professional in all areas of dog training and
competition.
We purchased Zahara 2 years ago and have been 1000%
satisfied
with her temperment, health, and training. She has
proven her courage
and willingness to engage time and time again.
She is always on duty
24/7. She is happy, social, loyal and
loving. Her training is exceptional in every aspect...obedience
and protection skills are competely reliable and her social
manners and skills are always remarkable. I am blessed every day
to have Zahara and recommend Ivan with complete confidence. His
training and dogs will offer you a peace of mind that cannot be
measured...

I was looking
for the right person and company from which
to purchase a complete security dog for my family. I am
married and have 5 kids, so this wasn't a decision I took
lightly. I spent months and countless hours researching to
find the
right fit. I got very tired of finding websites that
had no substance to their programs. There were fancy
titles and names for their programs but I couldn't find
anyone that
could back up the slick advertisement and
marketing campaigns. I believe documentation beats
conversation. When I saw Ivan's experience and
background, there wasn't even a close second. I could
tell from the very start that Ivan wasn't trying
to just
sell me a dog. He truly cares about finding out what
you
want
and then providing you with what fits your
needs exactly. To
say that I am completely satisfied
with the dog I purchased, as
well as my entire experience,
would be a massive understatement.
From day one, I realized that this isn't just a business for Ivan,
but that it is his life
and passion. Take my word for it and save
yourself a lot of time and money researching, there is NO ONE
better than Premier Protection Dogs and Ivan Balabanov! They are
the BEST!

My wife and I
live in a remote forested area in Southern Oregon and
our nearest neighbor is over a mile away. About a year ago our
home
was broken into, which made me wary about my wife walking alone in
the
woods, and her being at home alone when I am away on business
trips.
So, we decided to look into getting a protection dog.
We spent about a month calling and researching several protection
dog
trainers and breeders around the U.S. We quickly became
discouraged
because it seemed that most everyone we came across was asking
over
$35,000 for a seriously trained dog, and we got the feeling that
the
trainers and breeders we spoke to had a "hard edge" in the way the
dogs (and customers) were treated.
Luckily, we stumbled upon Ot Vitosha Malinois, and after one
conversation with Ivan and Carrie, we knew that they were
different.
We learned that Ivan is a world champion Schutzhund competitor, and
is
known for his gentle, almost human-like communication with the
dogs he
trains. After seeing the Malinois dogs he breeds, we were also
very
happy to discover that they are sleeker and more beautiful than
any
other lines of Malinois we have seen (directly from Europe or
otherwise).
We purchased a powerful, handsome dog from Ivan and Carrie (his
name
is "Vidin"), and have had a wonderful experience. Vidin is a happy
and
loving dog that behaves beautifully everywhere -- in town, in the
woods, and inside the house. However, we also know that if the
situation were ever to arise where my wife or I were threatened by
someone, Vidin would bravely and competently be able to protect
us.
My wife and I can't say enough about Ivan, Carrie, and everyone at
Ot
Vitosha Malinois. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone
looking
for world-class protection dogs.

Just wanted to let you know that Asher did what he was trained to
do!
Karen and I were in northern Virginia two weeks ago.
We stopped at a mall and left Asher in the car. When Karen returned
to the car, and as she got into the car, a man with a gun tried to
carjack our vehicle. Asher went through the window and attacked
the carjacker. Just as I arrived, the carjacker tried to shoot Asher.
At that time, I terminated the subject. Asher was not hurt; he did a super job.
The shooting was ruled JUSTIFIED. I found out that this person
was out on parole. He had been convicted of this same crime many times before.
THANK GOD we were not hurt.
Thanks again Ivan; keep up the good work.

Hi Ivan,
Carrie, I just wanted to drop a quick update on Utrix:
Bank Robbery Suspect Apprehended "....DaneCounty Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the bank robbery
at approximately 10:10 am.A witness at the bank was able to provide the 911
dispatcher with a license plate number on the suspect’s
vehicle... a
perimeter was established around the area, and in addition to
the many deputies and officers on the scene,
DaneCounty utilized a K9 in
the search for the suspect.K9 Utrix, a patrol and narcotics dog,
was able to locate the suspect quickly, and Rush was taken into
custody at approximately 11:30 am.Air One, a helicopter service out of RockCounty,
was also enroute, however the suspect was located prior to their
arrival.One
Sheriff’s Deputy received minor injuries during the foot
pursuit, and the suspect had some minor cuts and scrapes.Before being brought to the DaneCounty
Jail, the suspect was taken by
EMS to a local hospital..."
Thanks for the super dog you have given me!
Brian and Utrix
