About the Case Consults Series

Threat display

This is an all-new format developed for GrishaStewart.com. Michael’s case consult series we did here on dog-human aggression went spectacularly, as did Grisha’s BAT set-ups course with a shelter team. Grisha is also teaching a case consult course for adolescent puppies starting 4/8/20.

This series couldn’t come at a better time for dog trainers who need to still work during a quarantine. With people being homebound, particular one is bound to be a very popular course.

About This Course

Join aggression expert Michael Shikashio CDBC as he works with TWO different intra-household dog-dog aggression cases live and remotely.

Mike will be coaching two clients with their own dogs in Intra-household dog-dog aggression cases – that’s a fancy way of saying the dogs from the same household are fighting or otherwise showing aggression to each other. Michael will be coaching two separate households on their dog-dog issues. Most of these techniques will also apply to aggression to other dogs outside of the household, as well.

We are really looking forward to this a unique opportunity to see how Mike works online to coach dog-dog aggression cases!

You’ll get to see it all!

What YOU will be getting in this course

  • Access to the live remote sessions where Mike will be coaching the clients.
  • Streaming recordings of all consultation and coaching sessions to review any time you want.
  • An opportunity to ask questions in a chat box. Mike will reply via live video in the Q&A  at the end of the lesson.
  • CEUs (pending) for CPDT, KPA, IAABC, and CCBC.
  • Price is $85, with 20% off for ABBA Pro members. It’s a great value! $75 early bird through May 15, 2020.

Can’t make it live? We’ve got you covered! All live videos will be recorded and stay in your library to view at your own pace.

About this Course

Why do shelters get so many adolescent dogs? It’s a tough age! Not so cute as puppies, but lacking the brains and training of an adult, among other things.

Check out my new live  online course, where I’ll be running a small group class for adolescent dogs.

You’ll get a free ebook of my Ahimsa Dog Training manual, so you have information you can start soaking up right away!

The sessions will be on 4/8, 4/15, 4/22, and 4/29 at 5:30 pm Pacific and will last approximately an hour with additional time for questions at the end. Plan for it to last up to 2 hours. In this course, you basically shadow my live, remote adolescent puppy class. The dogs who have had a variety of training backgrounds, but no training is assumed. [s2If current_user_cannot(access_s2member_ccap_course_010_tn)]

Chief is an active young border collie.

The training will be adapted to the individual students, and will be a combination of clicker training, BAT, operant counterconditioning, and anything else that seems useful for these dog and handler teams.

I can’t plan this too much advance, because puppies are always changing as they develop. But the general structure is to work on focus and relaxation.

Who are the puppies?

One team I will likely be working with is two teenagers – a border collie “tween” on the verge of adolescence and my awesome teenage nephew who got the puppy from his family for Christmas.

Chief will be about 6 months old at the start of the class and has not had a lot of training or socialization experiences. His dog experience is limited, but he does interact with the 2-year-old Dachshund who also lives in the home.

I also have two other teenage puppies lined up and am looking for some backup options. If you are interested, please contact me.

This is a unique opportunity to see how I coach adolescent puppy training and socialization. Every dog is unique, but you’ll get to see what I do in these cases. It’s all done remotely and you’ll get to see it live!

Can’t make it live? We’ve got you covered! All live videos will be recorded and stay in your library to view at your own pace.

What YOU will be getting in this course

  • Access to the live remote sessions where I will be coaching the puppies’ caregivers.
  • An opportunity to ask questions in a chat box. I will reply via live video in the Q&A  at the end of the lesson.
  • Streaming recordings of all consultation and coaching sessions to review any time you want.
  • Access to the eBook version of my book on basic training for puppies and dogs: “The Official Ahimsa Dog Training Manual: A Practical, Force-Free Guide to Problem Solving & Manners.”
  • 8 approved CEUs for CPDT, KPA, IAABC (pending). Be sure to click at the end of each video to add it to your Video History.
  • We report to CCPDT directly, you can use the record in your Video History for other organizations. CCPDT reporting will happen when the course closes and then again April 1 and October 1.

Course Info:

  • Cost is $99. This course is included with Diamond memberships on my new site. Click here for info.
  • ABBA Pro members get an additional 20% off. It’s a great value!
  • Each video session is about 1.5-2 hours long (including question time).

BAT Set-Ups Practice Course: Main topics

  • How to manage training set-ups in real-time, to maximize learning and minimize stress.

  • This course is made up entirely of videos, which were live and are now available in recorded form.
This is the dog we worked with in the course. She is an intense dog, with a combination of frustration and aggressive behavior toward other dogs.

In this innovative course, BAT developer Grisha Stewart coached an animal shelter team doing live BAT set-ups and other techniques for dog reactivity.

Grisha was live on video chat with a team at Providence Animal Center in Pennsylvania, with the help of Certified BAT Instructor Laura Harrington. Laura was on-site for hands-on instruction and training set-up management.

Following the training session, Grisha then went over the sessions in an additional live video.

All raw and review sessions were recorded for you to see!

The dog in this course was adopted partway through, so Grisha also worked with the new family. The dog was a spayed female bully X with overarousal, frustration, and aggression issues toward other dogs.

All live videos were recorded and stay in your library to view at your own pace. Viewing all Review Sessions in this course will earn CEUs for Pro members who are CPDT trainers. Your Pro membership must be current on the reporting date of April 1 or October 1.

Prerequisite

Some understanding of Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT 2.0) is required.

What is the Format of This Course?

The shelter team met for 6 sessions, and you get to see them all, in raw format and reviewed again with Grisha:

  • Pretraining:
    • The shelter team watched the Empowered Animals BAT 2.0 series (not included with this course).
    • The team met with Grisha to work some on leash skills and test technology.
  • Session 1 is a Q&A from the videos, a brief history of the dog, and practice with BAT leash skills, as well as going over the features of the training area(s).
  • Sessions 2-6 focus on training set-ups, with BAT and whatever else seems appropriate at the time.

BATlogo-colorWhat YOU will be getting in this course:

  • There are two videos per training session:
    • Raw Sessions, in which Grisha coached the team remotely, and
    • Review Sessions in which Grisha went over the video with live course students and some members of the shelter team.
  • Review Sessions: These are the main course content.
  • Chat Transcripts: Live attendees asked questions during the Review Sessions using a chat window. This text is included in the course materials.
  • Raw Sessions: These are the raw footage of the training sessions, in real-time, without commentary.
  • On-Demand Access. Course content doesn’t expire. It will remain in your library to view at any time.
  • Pro ABBA members also earn 9 CPDT CEUs for watching all 6 of the Review videos. Click here for details.

[s2If current_user_cannot(access_s2member_ccap_course_008_sh)]Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT) has quickly become a commonly used force-free technique to rehabilitate and prevent (over)reactivity. If you’ve already started learning about this useful, naturalistic technique, but want to see it in practice, this is your chance!

[/s2If]Empodera a tu perro, mejorando su confianza y habilidades sociales. Con BAT 2.0, Grisha Stewart ha reajustado por completo el Entrenamiento para el Ajuste del Comportamiento (BAT) creando una nueva herramienta eficaz y práctica para tratar la reactividad canina.

BAT 2.0 construye resiliencia y autoconfianza en los perros, dándoles opciones de aprender de modo seguro acerca de las personas, perros y demás “detonantes” del entorno. Escrito con gran claridad para que todos puedan aprender, este libro incluye además consejos técnicos y capítulos extra, específicos para profesionales del comportamiento canino.

Aprenderás a:

  • Rehabilitar perros con problemas de agresión, frustración y miedo.
  • Usar técnicas de supervivencia para prevenir la reactividad en los paseos y en el hogar.
  • Emplear una correa larga para maximizar la libertad de movimiento de tu perro de modo seguro.
  • Aplicar la filosofía BAT de Grisha con todo tipo de perros y cachorros…¡recuperando tu vida normal!

This is Grisha’s BAT 2.0 book in Spanish, translated by Certified BAT Instructor Luis Gomez, published by Grisha’s company, Empowered Animals.

Grisha Stewart, MA, CPDT-KA es una entrenadora canina y reconocida ponente internacional, especializada en el empoderamiento y la reactividad canina. Es autora de dos libros, varios DVDs, y dirige una escuela de entrenamiento online desde Alaska. Grisha también es la fundadora de la escuela Ahimsa Dog Training en Seattle, que ha sido galardonada en numerosas ocasiones, incluyendo la Mejor Escuela de Washington Oeste.

“Ahimsa” es una doctrina budista sobre la no violencia hacia todas las criaturas vivientes, reflejando su enfoque sobre el entrenamiento basado en el empoderamiento de todos los animales, incluyendo las personas. Grisha tiene un Máster en Matemáticas por el Bryn Mawr College y un postgrado en psicología especializándose en comportamiento animal, por la Antioch University. Su primera carrera en matemáticas le fue muy útil como adiestradora y consultora en comportamiento canino, porque confía plenamente en la resolución de problemas, el pensamiento crítico y las habilidades pedagógicas que aplicó en ese campo.

A Grisha le fascina el comportamiento canino y está realmente motivada por ayudar a mejorar nuestras técnicas para rehabilitar y adiestrar a los perros. Sus intereses profesionales en torno a la reactividad, junto con la necesidad de encontrar un método de rehabilitación eficiente que pudiese funcionar con su propio perro miedoso, llevó a Grisha a desarrollar el Adiestramiento para el Ajuste del Comportamiento (BAT).

Lo que dicen los expertos sobre Entrenamiento para el Ajuste del Comportamiento.

BAT 2.0 es de lectura obligada para quien trabaje con perros reactivos. Durante años, perros de todo el mundo se han beneficiado de los enfoques y las técnicas de empoderamiento de BAT, y ahora Grisha Stewart lo ha llevado al siguiente nivel. Un clara sensibilidad por la experiencia del perro, y técnicas prácticas y fáciles de seguir, hacen que BAT 2.0 sea muy beneficioso para los perros con frustración, ansiedad o miedo en cualquier contexto social. Stewart devuelve el control al perro, permitiendo un delicado equilibrio entre libertad, la capacidad de tomar decisiones, y la seguridad. Recomiendo encarecidamente BAT 2.0 a todo el que esté sufriendo por un perro reactivo, o quiera tener una mejor comprensión de su compañero canino.

Victoria Stilwell, escritora, Train Your Dog Positively

Cuando pregunto a profesionales: “¿Para qué tenéis ojos?” responden entusiasmados: “¡Para ver!”, pero cuand pregunto: “¿Para qué es vuestra conducta?” la sala queda en silencio. En BAT 2.0, Grisha Stewart ofrece la respuesta esencial a esta importante pregunta: la conducta debe tener un efecto, debe ser efectiva. Al permitir de un modo seguro que los perros tengan un mayor control sobre sus consecuencias, especialmente en entornos complicados en los que es probable una respuesta de miedo, frustración o agresión, los cuidadores tendrán más éxito moldeando a compañeros autónomos, competentes y confiados.

Susan G. Friedman, Ph.D., Profesora Emérita en la Universidad de Utah. www.behaviorworks.org

BAT 2.0 es único—un documento vivo que detalla la evolución de un tipo de intervención muy efectivo desde la experiencia de muchos entrenadores. Adoro el carácter práctico de este libro, así como la dedicación de Grisha Stewart’s para dar a los perros ¡voz en su propia evolución! Es una lectura indispensable para aquellos que trabajen con la reactividad canina en cualquiera de sus formas.

Como entrenador de clicker, aprecio mucho la creatividad. Me encanta cuando veo a un entrenador usar las leyes del aprendizaje de nuevas y creativas formas que resultan en mejoras para el entrenamiento canino. Lo que ha conseguido Grisha con BAT 2.0 es exactamente eso. Su método combina el condicionamiento clásico y el operante con un gran conocimiento del lenguaje natural y el comportamiento canino. Y a pesar de estar apoyado en ciencia compleja, Grisha lo explica de un modo claro y sencillo de modo que todos pueden entenderlo—¡y practicarlo!

Morten Egtvedt, Director en Canis Clicker Training Academy

Me encanta el enfoque pedagógico de BAT 2.0 y cómo se centra en dar al perro la sensación de control en su propia vida, después de todo es un elemento imprescindible si quieres que tu perro se sienta feliz y seguro. También les da la capacidad de predecir eventos en el entorno, lo que fortalece aún más su autoconfianza y así saben que tienen control sobre las situaciones importantes de sus vidas.

Anders Hallgren, escritor, Estrés, Ansiedad y Agresividad en Perros

BAT 2.0 muestra cómo Grisha está continuamente evaluando y ajustando sus propias técnicas de modificación de conductas. Ha avanzado mucho en su búsqueda para ayudar a proporcionar un mayor bienestar emocional a los perros.

Aanbevelingen

Of het nu over pups opvoeden of over leertheorieën gaat, Grisha heeft gedaan waar ze het best in is: ingewikkelde onderwerpen op een begrijpelijke manier uitleggen. Dit boek vormt een prima basis voor hondenbezitters om hun hond goede hondenmanieren te leren en vaak voorkomende problemen aan te pakken. Het bevat instructies om gewenst gedrag aan te leren, maar daarnaast behandelt Grisha ook angstig en reactief gedrag; ze biedt hondenbezit-ters de mogelijkheid om vaardigheden te leren waarmee ze een goede basis kunnen leggen, met als resultaat een hond die zich gelukkiger en ontspannener voelt. Ten slotte is dit een prima gids om mee te geven aan mensen die een herplaatshond in huis nemen, en instructeurs kunnen hem aan hun cliën-ten geven; dit alles met het doel honden en mensen te helpen om vreed-zaam en in harmonie met elkaar samen te leven. De Ahimsa-gids voor honden is een must voor iedereen die beroepsmatig of privé met honden omgaat.

– Nan Arthur, auteur van Chill Out Fido! How to Calm Your Dog.

Tussen de duizenden boeken over hondengedrag en -opvoeding is het lastig er een te vinden waarin daadwerkelijk iets nieuws wordt ge-meld of een waarin de wetenschappelijke kennis met betrekking tot posi-tieve training op een goede manier wordt uitgelegd. Grisha doet dat wel in haar boekje, de Ahimsa-gids voor honden. Het boekje is duidelijk, beknopt, informatief en zeer gebruiksvriendelijk, en verdient een promi-nente plaats in de boekenkast van iedere instructeur.

– Paul Owens, auteur van de bestsellers The Dog Whisperer; A Compas-sionate, Nonviolent Approach to Dog Training en The Puppy Whisperer: A Compassionate, Nonviolent Guide to Early Training and Care.

Dit is het: een leesbaar, beknopt handboek dat iedere verstandige hondenbezitter zal willen lezen. Deze gids beschrijft praktische, stap-voor-stap-oplossingen en de lezer krijgt daarnaast ook inzicht in de we-tenschap achter de theorie. Grisha is dé autoriteit op het gebied van BAT en ze deelt haar unieke methode met anderen om een verandering in de omgang met honden te bewerkstelligen en een positieve omgeving voor ze te creëren waarin macht en angst geen rol spelen. Ze laat ons aan de hand van duidelijke instructies en tekeningen een nieuwe manier zien om onze honden te leren netjes aan de lijn te lopen; zonder frustraties. De hondenwereld is Grisha dankbaar dat ze ondanks haar drukke werk-zaamheden de tijd heeft genomen deze fantastische gids voor ons te schrijven.

– Kyra Sundance, beroemd om haar werk met stunthonden en auteur van 101 Dog Tricks.

‘Als Fido bij de kruising tussen de weg naar Brave Hond en de weg naar Stoute Hond aankomt, welke richting kiest hij dan?’ vraagt Grisha Stewart in haar boek, De officiële Ahimsa-gids voor honden. Grisha’s boek kan je helpen Fido’s omgeving te managen en hem te leren de juis-te keuzes te maken. Ze reikt verschillende manieren aan om je hond zonder dwang gewenst gedrag te leren, en dat doet ze net zo innemend en vriendelijk als haar methodes zijn. Als je dit boek als leidraad neemt, zal je hond veel meer plezier aan je trainingssessies beleven.

– Teoti Anderson, auteur van Puppy Care and Training en Your Outta Control Puppy: How to Turn Your Precocious Pup Into a Perfect Pet en ex-voorzitter van de APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers).

Geweldig boek voor pupkopers. Het biedt de basis voor alles wat een hond moet leren, in begrijpelijke bewoordingen. Fokkers zouden het in hun puppenpakket moeten stoppen. Kan ik een hele partij bestellen?

– Michel Berner, Viszlafokker

What is the BAT 2.0 Book About?

Excerpt
Click for a short excerpt from the book

It’s an in-depth look into how to use Behavior Adjustment Training to manage and rehabilitate aggression, frustration, and fear. It’s also a great way to socialize puppies.

BAT 2.0 is a very different technique than the original BAT. Although it still has some elements in common, I have changed it to give more control to the dogs, while making the technique easier for people to understand and use. It’s about 300 pages. For visual learners, there are lots of great Lili Chin drawings, including an 8-page color insert of illustrations.

This is not a second edition of the first book, but rather, a whole new book. As you see by the chapter titles, it is based on some of the material in the first book and it should replace the first book in your library, but there’s so much new information that it is officially a new book. Practically every line was rewritten in most chapters.

Reviews

BAT 2.0 – nice improvement to an already excellent approach for dealing with reactive dogs

– Ken Ramirez, author of Animal Training: Successful Animal Management Through Positive Reinforcement and Executive Vice-President and Chief Training Officer of Karen Pryor Clicker Training

Grisha Stewart’s new book is an impressive piece of work, and I highly recommend it to trainers, behaviorists and dog owners who are ready to dive into the deep end to help their dog. Behavior Adjustment Training 2.0 (BAT 2.0) is a comprehensive and detailed approach to working with “fear, frustration, and aggression in dogs”. No matter what one’s field, I always am impressed by people who continually re-evaluate their perspectives and advice, and I love that BAT 2.0 resulted from Grisha sitting back and asking what worked about BAT 1.0, and what could be better.

– Patricia McConnell, Ph.D., author of The Other End of the Leash, Feisty Fido, I’ll Be Home Soon (separation anxiety), Feeling Outnumbered (multi dog households), and many other books.

BAT 2.0 is a must-read for anyone who has or works with reactive dogs. For years, dogs all over the world have benefited from the successful philosophies and empowering techniques in BAT, but Grisha Stewart has taken it to the next level. A clear appreciation for the canine experience and easy to follow, practical techniques is what makes BAT 2.0 so beneficial for dogs that experience frustration, anxiety or fear in any social situation.

Stewart gives control back to the dog allowing a delicate balance of freedom, the ability to make choices and safety. The results speak for themselves. Dogs that were once reactive now become more confident because Stewart gives them the life skills they need to cope more successfully in a social environment. I highly recommend BAT 2.0 to anyone who is struggling with a reactive dog or who wants to gain a better understanding of their canine companion.

– Victoria Stilwell, star of the television show, “It’s Me Or the Dog” and author of “It’s Me or the Dog: How to Have the Perfect Pet,” “Train Your Dog Positively,” and “Fat Dog Slim”

I have enjoyed every chapter, every page and every line of the book. I think it is not only original, but breaking new ground in that it strikes a blow for ethical ways of training. I hope it will spread around the world.

I love the pedagogical approach of this book and the focus on how to install a feeling of control in a dog’s life, all in all a fundamental recipe if you want your dog to feel safe and happy. It also adds an ability for dogs to predict events, which further strengthens its self-worth and being in control in relevant life situations. Keeping a distance to what triggers the dog and gradually come closer to it – another dog, a human or whatever the dog reacts to – is a training method with documented good results.

What I especially like in BAT 2.0 is something which is often overlooked in dog training, and that is how to use naturally occurring reinforcers: A method based on the “Premack’s principle”, or the relativity theory of reinforcement. Grisha does a great job of explaining how to use this in dog training.

The chapter “BAT for Puppy Socialization” earns special mention. It is simply excellent! In my opinion everyone who has a puppy, is getting a puppy, or is just interested in how to take care of puppies, should read and learn from this. In fact, it could be a separate book.

The BAT 2.0 book is a star among training concepts and Grisha Stewart has such a nice way of making everything easy to understand. Add her sense of humor to the topic and you have a book that is hard to put down.

– Anders Hallgren, Animal behaviorist, dog psychologist, Psychologist Msc (Sweden)

When I ask behavior professionals, “What are your eyes for?” they enthusiastically reply, “To see!” But when I ask, “What is your behavior for?” conference rooms fall silent. In BAT 2, Stewart provides the essential answer to this all-important question: Behavior is to have an effect, that is, to be effective.  By safely allowing dogs more control over their own outcomes, especially in challenging conditions where fearful, frustrated and aggressive behavior is most likely, caregivers will be more successful shaping independent, competent, confident companions.

– Susan G. Friedman, PH.D., www.behaviorworks.org

Grisha Stewart’s updated version of BAT is easy to understand with wonderful illustrations and pictures to help the reader visualize the process. One of the things I like most about this book is the attention paid to reading dogs for signs of stress in order to keep the dog as comfortable as possible during setups.

– Emily Larlham, dog trainer, seminar presenter, and host of the Kikopup YouTube Channel (USA)

BAT 2.0 shows that Grisha is continually evaluating and adjusting her behavior modification recipes. She has made great steps forward in her quest to help the emotional well-being of dogs.

– Terry Ryan, dog trainer; seminar presenter; and author of Coaching People to Train Their Dogs (also comes as a DVD course), The Toolbox for Building a Great Family Dog, and many more books and DVDs (USA)

As a clicker trainer I highly value creativity. I love it every time a trainer uses the laws of learning in new and creative ways that results in better ways of dog training. What Grisha has done with BAT is just that. I find BAT to be a wonderful supplement to clicker training when working with pet dogs. The method combines operant and classical conditioning with a deep knowledge of the dog´s natural language and behavior. And even though BAT is grounded in hard science, Grisha has a way of explaining things so clear and simple that everybody can understand it – and do it.

– Morten Egtvedt, dog trainer, author, and founder of Canis Clickertraining Academy (Norway)

Behavior Adjustment Training 2.0 is unique–a living document detailing the evolution of a very effective intervention from the experience of many practitioners. I loved the practicality of this book, as well as Grisha Stewart’s dedication to giving dogs a voice in their own development! This is must-reading for those working with dog reactivity in its many forms.

The more I engage BAT 2.0 techniques with clients the more organic it becomes. And the ‘aha’ moments when they see how quickly their dog responds to the freedom of choice…can’t thank you enough, Grisha. You’ve made a tremendous difference in opening minds to a new way of being with their canine companions.
  • Wendy Dahl, MA, CBATI (Seattle Dog Trainer)

I just want to say I loved the first BAT book. I couldn’t imagine how it could be made better. Finally diving into the new BAT book and just WOW Grisha Stewart-person…WOW! So clear, so well put together /written. BRAVO! So thankful it really is easier for the people and better for the dogs.

– Kelly Keeney, CBATI, CPDT (NJ dog trainer)

Originally developed in 2009, BAT 2.0 is the newly updated version that is simpler, faster, and easier for dogs and people to do. BAT is effective for many kinds of reactivity, from fear to frustration to full-on aggression.

This video has several live demonstrations and explanations of BAT 2.0. Whether you are familiar with BAT or not, this video will help you understand how to put this effective tool to work. This is a short introduction to the technique, with variations. It should be enough for professionals to start implementing BAT.

If you are not a dog trainer or behaviorist, you will still find this helpful, but Grisha recommends working with a Certified BAT Instructor (CBATI) or a trainer who is experienced with reactivity, and is familiar with this latest version of BAT.

Sometimes we just don’t want to be the one holding the leash with the barking-lunging-freaking-out-dog at the other end.

This video has practical solutions to help dogs hold it together on everyday walks. The dog can’t do all of the work – sometimes that is your job, as the one with the larger brain and the thumbs.

One major difference between savvy dog trainers and regular pet lovers is that good professional trainers know how to take charge and set dogs up for success. But even pro trainers sometimes manage too much. It’s a fine line.

Grisha suggests a path between 1) reacting only when the dog is too excited to listen and 2) micromanaging to the point where the dog is not learning. She will teach you ways to prevent problems before they start, react when you have to, and set the dog up to learn as much as possible from each situation.

[/s2If]Before I was a professional dog trainer, walking my dog was a struggle. Over time, I developed a way for walks to be relaxing, enriching, and fun. This 1.5 hour video is part of my Empowered Animals series and it has my best walking tips to transform the relationship with your dog.

Two of the major problems people have with their dogs are 1) pulling on leash and 2) reactivity on leash. These two problems are related and can be helped with the techniques in this video. Both ends of the leash get training in this practical video for trainers and pet owners. It takes two to pull, so training people and dogs together makes for a very effective solution.

I just want to send you a HUGE THANKS!! I adopted a spirited little 2 yr old Brittany recently. She was never trained to walk on a leash and pulled like crazy. It was starting to take a toll on my body. Your Walk With Me video and Ahimsa training manual have been a huge help. She is very smart and very sensitive and your techniques help me connect with and harness her innate intelligence. I also appreciate the methodical step by step demonstrations and the BAT leash techniques in the Walk With Me video.  Just tonight, after only a couple days of leash training, she did not pull once. She gets it! –Catherine H.

This 160-page book is an introduction to dog training that started as the companion exercises for Ahimsa Dog Training classes in Seattle. It has practical exercises that start from a basic level and work up through advanced work on the most important behaviors for dogs to know. This quick manual is helpful for dog trainers to use with clients or new ideas for exercises and for breeders to share with new puppy parents.

The Ahimsa Manual includes info on how dogs learn, clicker training, how to get rid of bad behaviors (puppy biting, fear/aggression, separation anxiety, etc.), and how to teach good behaviors, like coming when called, the name, watch, relaxation, sit, down, stay, wait, touch, walking on leash, give, go to your bed, and more! Illustrations help make the information clear and entertaining.

Grisha’s new book, the Ahimsa Dog Training Manual, does just that. Clear, concise, informative and extremely user-friendly, this book deserves a prominent place on every trainer’s bookshelf.”

–Paul Owens

Grisha is the leading authority on Behavior Adjustment Training, and shares her unique method of bringing about change in a positive, force-free, and fear-free environment.

Barking Mad: BAT and Other Techniques for Frustration

“I WANT TO DO THAT. NOW!” If dogs could speak in a human language, some of them would be screaming these words in frustration.

[/s2If]We can help our dogs learn to slow down and take information in, rather than rushing into greetings or demanding something from you. Rushed greetings can lead to fighting with other dogs and even just pulling toward other dogs or people can be hard for the handler to manage.

The ideal dog for this course should exhibit frustration toward people, dogs, or some other specific thing. You can also be working on prevention of frustration with a younger dog. This course is NOT for resource guarding — just an overly large interest to go get to something or do something.

[/s2If][s2If current_user_cannot(access_s2member_ccap_course_001_bm)]From Amalie H., a student in Barking Mad:

I was actually out this afternoon with my other dog, (fearful human-shy dog Robin), and when we saw that there were other people nearby, I sort of went into BAT-mode. 🙂 The indications that she was giving that she’d noticed them were very subtle, and I totally let her make the decisions for where we were going, and she pretty much always made a good choice– she turned away, arced around them.

It was such a lightbulb moment to see how much these dogs will make the right decisions given the opportunity and the safe structure to do so without us being pushy and making them go where we say. I’m excited to keep using all the things I’ve learned with all of my dogs. It’s really been a fantastic course for us.

This is your chance to start adding this useful, naturalistic technique to your training toolbox.

BAT 101 is appropriate for beginners. Even if you are experienced with the older version of BAT, this will still be useful because there was a lot of new BAT 2.0 material in 2014.

If you are enrolled in this course and have an ABBA membership, you can participate in the Facebook group for peer feedback. This is a member-moderated group for Grisha’s students.

Here are some of the things you will learn for your dog:

  • How to use a leash in a way that maximizes your dog’s learning and comfort
  • How and when to stay out of your dog’s way
  • How to read your dog’s body language
  • How to safely manage walks and training set-ups to maximize learning and minimize stress

“I was looking for anything that would help us with the elusive loose leash walk. I was not disappointed. Once my golden is wearing a harness and I use the described rope leash technique, he is almost a gentleman. I can walk in a store with him casually sniffing bags of dog food and even politely greeting people. Wonderful. We even went for a run together. Thank you.”

– BAT 101 Student, February 2015

“Have studied canine psychology for many years but have to say that by using BAT I have had amazing success with my reactive dog …thank you BAT.☺

BAT is great for helping dogs with fear gain confidence
BAT is for fear, too, not just aggression. Most barking, growling, etc. is from fear, anyway.

This course was written by Grisha Stewart, MA, CPDT-KA, KPACTP. Leash skills will be heavily emphasized in this intro course, because they are the very foundation of BAT. It is essential to be able to give the dog a sense of freedom while maintaining safety. The leash skills are not just something we do before we do BAT, they are the fabric that holds BAT together. Once a client fully masters the leash skills, they are probably already 80% of the way toward doing BAT successfully.
