I Love Curiosity!

Professional dog trainers have questions about BAT, and I do too. For example, what about ethics and the quadrants? I am fascinated by animal behavior and with the inquisitive mind of a mathematician, I'm all about questions.

  • What is Return of Fear and how do you prevent it?

  • How do you combine BAT and other techniques?

  • How do choose when to apply BAT?

  • How is Behavior Analysis applied in BAT?

  • What other research supports BAT?

If anyone has doubts about how "science based" B.A.T is this will absolutely set your mind at ease. Of course by "ease" I mean a rabbit hole of research and thinking! This stuff is so interesting. Great great video!

If you're a behavior geek like me, you'll love this video!

Or at least, I hope so. How does one measure love? But I digress.

  • 1.5 Hour Video

    Part 6 of the Empowered Animals DVD series filmed by Tawzer, now available as streaming dog training video. This video takes a scientific approach to the underpinnings of BAT to help you understand and explain it more fully.

  • Not for your clients!

    This geeky stuff is fun for trainers, but please just use everyday lingo with your clients. Having said that, you knowing the science is extremely useful, and helps you know what to apply when.

  • Bonus Material

    You'll also get PDF notes of the Powerpoint from the presentation and a quick quiz for understanding. The quiz also allows us to issue a certificate if you are a professional and need CEUs (Diamond Members and Course Purchasers only).

    1.5 CCPDT CEUs, 1.5 IAABC CEUs

Instructor

Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Author

Grisha Stewart MA, CPDT-KA, KPACTP

I'm a collaborative dog trainer, author, podcaster, international presenter, and keynote speaker based in Oregon, USA. My passion projects are grief tending, community singing, and woodturning. I enjoy developing empowering approaches to help dogs and people live in harmony.

I'm fascinated by animal behavior, somatic awareness, and psychology. I'm passionate about wholehearted living for all beings, including dogs with a history of aggression, frustration, or fear as well as puppies and my other favorite species: humans.

My Behavior Adjustment Training technique (BAT 2.0 book and the new BAT 3.0) is used worldwide to help dogs gain confidence and social skills. A conservative calculation is that well over 200,000 people have learned about BAT so far.

I have always loved teaching. I earned a Master's in mathematics and taught college courses, but I found my true calling in dog training. I have been teaching dog training and behavior since 2003. In 2010, I started traveling worldwide to teach dog trainers about BAT. In 2014 I developed BAT 2.0 and also started this online dog training and behavior school, the Grisha Stewart Academy which now has over 140 classes from my favorite emotionally intelligent dog and human behavior experts. I also co-host a podcast at The Lesson is Love.

As an outgoing introvert, I enjoy teaching at cooperative conferences and am so grateful to be able to offer classes about dogs online. I refresh my batteries by singing, expressing grief in community, and savoring life in the woods with my husband (Tom), Labrador (Joey), cat (Garbanzo aka "Adventure Kitty" and "Baby Panther"), and Little Brown Dog (Zuki).
