This was absolutely engrossing and brilliantly done. Seeing actual BAT Setups in practice are so extremely important as a reinforcement of my own knowledge. The subtle changes of approach and the use of strategies such as " Find It " and " Mark and Move " when required varied from dog to dog.....working with the dog in front of you. BAT methods are certainly not a case of " " One size fits all " ....all about enabling and empowering the unique dog in front of you . Thoroughly enjoyed this.

The videos in this course were very helpful for me to see visually what I need to be exercising in a BAT setup. It was nice to see Grisha instructing the owners and explaining why she was doing what she was in a clear way. I will be coming back to review this course in the future!

It All Starts with a Feeling of Safety.

From there, dogs can explore in a way that doesn't need to resort to barking, growling, running away, or other over-reactive behavior.

This video is for anyone working on preventing or rehabilitating reactivity. You'll see several live demonstrations and explanations of the Behavior Adjustment Training technique for dog (re)socialization. Whether you are familiar with BAT 2.0 or not, this video will help you see how to put this effective tool to work.

This is a short introduction to BAT set-ups, with variations. It should be enough for professionals to start implementing BAT if you have also watched Walk With Me to learn the leash skills. For an in-depth guide, I also recommend the BAT 101 course.

  • Barking, lunging, growling on walks.

  • Fighting with other dogs in the home.

  • Avoiding or shutting down around people or dogs.

  • Biting or barking at people.

  • Also useful for socializing PUPPIES and all dogs!

  • Get this course and a whole lot more for FREE when you become a Diamond Member! Learn more about Diamond Membership.

  • We also have a Library Pass which lets you stream this course and a lot of other pre recorded content. Find out more on the Library Pass Page.

Taking dog empowerment to the next level.

When dogs have a sense of safety, appropriate social skills emerge.

  • 1.5 Hour Video

    Part 5 of the Empowered Animals DVD series, now available as streaming dog training video. I recommend you watch the "Talk With Me," "Walk with Me" and "Survival Skills" videos first to really understand this technique. Pro trainers should at least watch "Walk With Me."

  • What's new in 2.0?

    Originally developed in 2009, BAT 2.0 is the newly updated version that is simpler, faster, and easier for dogs and people to do. P.S. For biting/fighting: if you aren't a dog trainer, I still recommend you hire a CBATI-KSA to help you with your set ups.

  • 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.

    1.5 CPDT CEUs, 2 IAABC CEUs. Diamond Members or course purchasers only.

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).
