In this podcast, I am happy to be joined by my great friend, and 2024 FMBB Vice World Champion Jany Böhm.This was recorded only weeks after the 2024 FMBB World Championship, which led to a polarizing series of events that have many wondering what the proper next step for the sport should be. Thanks to Jany, we are able to go deep into the process of this year’s World Championship.He provided an honest accounting of the competition, the judging, and rules enforced this year. We also discuss how all of these things have impacted the sport in the past.

In some cases, the Training Without Conflict® Podcast is here to share knowledge and entertainment, but thanks to you all as listeners, we have the power to have a voice to make a change.In the interest of improving and growing the sport of IGP, I look forward to seeing your thoughts in the comments.You never know how impactful your comment might be…Enjoy.For more information about Jany Böhm, check out: https://www.instagram.com/janybohm/Ivan Balabanov is a 2-time World Champion dog trainer, Ot Vitosha Malinois breeder, trainer of Premier Protection Dogs and founder of the revolutionary Training Without Conflict® dog training system.For more information about Ivan Balabanov and information on how to train your dog using the Training Without Conflict® system, check out: https://trainingwithoutconflict.comhttps://malinois.comhttps://premierprotectiondogs.comPlease like, comment, and share with your dog friends💪🏼
