Our motto is "Dream big enough for all of us."
We are in this for good, doing our part to help dogs and people live in harmony and co-create communities in which we all can thrive. We love to find and share new practical ways to improve quality of life for dogs AND their people.
How you do one thing is how you do everything, so while most of our classes teach how to relate to dogs in a way that meets everyone's needs, you'll also learn how to apply an empowerment approach to yourself and train the "border collie in your head." ❤️
We continue to learn how to better live our values, which are reflected in our work in our local and international communities. We believe that love is love, no human is illegal, Black and trans lives matter too, your life matters, science is important too, women’s rights are human rights, animals are individuals with an emotional experience, kindness is everything, and peace deserves a chance.
We believe that life-changing education should be available to all, so we set reasonable prices. And if you truly can't afford a membership (which I think is the best value in the industry), let us know. We have member scholarships for individuals as well as a scholarship bundle for animal shelters and rescues.
Over 160 inspiring, relationship-boosting online dog classes and discussions available on demand, plus live offerings and a nourishing, inclusive online community for peer support. View Full Catalog.
Efficient, modern, attachment- and trauma-informed, humane, positive dog training.
If you're a professional dog trainer or behaviorist, dog walker, shelter staffer, groomer, or veterinarian, we have continuing education to evolve your practice. Proud to be an Approved Education Provider for the CCPDT. IAABC CEUs also often available.
Not a pro? Most of this information will be helpful for you and your own dog, too. The Dog Training Foundations category is a great place to start.
More than just dog training, you'll get skills to help your dog(s) thrive in your family. If you care about kindness, you belong here!
World-class live and on-demand courses with dog trainers and animal behavior experts, including Sarah Fisher, Sindhoor Pangal Diane Garrod, Michael Shikashio, Susan Friedman, Chirag Patel, Kathy Sdao, Leslie McDevitt, Dante Camacho, Simone Müller, and so many more! And of course the home of everything I teach online.
Accessibility: All video playback is at variable speed. Live sessions have captions in most languages. All video recordings include English transcripts and most have English captions (we’re systematically adding them).
Learn BAT 3.0 for dog aggression, frustration, and fear (Behavior Adjustment Training) from the source. And lots more than BAT, too, from common behavior problems in the home to cooperative care and predation.
I've been helping families live in harmony with dogs using positive dog training full-time since 2003. The Grisha Stewart Academy is part of Empowered Animals LLC, a company I created in 2013 to provide professional education to dog trainers and behaviorists around the world. My first iteration of this online dog school was founded in 2014.
Diamond members get access to all classes, including live sessions. Library Passholders get all on-demand sessions. If you're allergic to subscriptions, you can get a 30-day pass that expires automatically, or select courses are available for direct purchase.

Read MoreNo matter how many times I sign in to something about body language, I ALWAYS learn something new. But listening to highly respected professionals discussing this one-of-a-kind book just made me a whole new level of excited about the work I do. I can't wait to start using it with my clients.

Read MoreI have seen this a few times now, and I glean more awareness with each viewing. Molly is simply somebody I can really relate to! I love her style of presenting the information, it is super clear for me. But Molly Sumridge, Grisha Stewart and Andrew Hale discussing BAT and Anthrozoology together! Wow. And the Q & A! I will be watching this one so many more times. This is elevating me as a trainer, and there is mention of ripple effects, Molly articulates how she is seeing it in her community, and that is inspiring. We can't change everything, but we can definitely influence so much in a relationship between a human and their dog (or horse or cat, or birds...or...) just by watching this webinar.

Read MoreI really enjoyed the ideas in this seminar. While it can be used for dogs of all sizes, I think these ideas (particularly the waist belt systems) will be particularly helpful for the very strong pullers or large dogs that lunge explosively. Sometimes I see clients having a hard time handling dogs with these tendencies during BAT sessions, so I think that these leash options will make it easier on their hands and bodies. Thank you for putting together this seminar and sharing these ideas!
