That's not entirely true as discussed in Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series. The dragons are able to telepathically link with their rider upon Impression (hatching). Later on once the dragonet has matured and can take to the air, mental coordinates, pictures if you will, are given to the dragon by their rider and they are able to teleport between, a void with no sensation, only intense cold, to a new location in eight seconds or the time it takes to cough three times no matter the distance from their initial jump. Lessa discovered quite by mistake that if you gave a dragon coordinates for another time the dragon could actually slip through time. A jump of ten plus Turns (or years) was draining. A jump backwards of 400 Turns left her nearly dead. Later on experimentation was done with dragonriders living in two times as well as saving Pern through "timing it". Interestingly, the two mental abilities eventually led to the dragons discovering the ability to move objects with their mind, telekinesis, arguing that the three abilities are all possibe in the same individual.

I'm not saying Ozpin can travel backward through time, although I think its fairly probable that he manipluated time so that he could escape from Cinder and live to fight another day.
