My name is Grisha Stewart and I'm best known among dog trainers for developing Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT), a humane technique for dog aggression, frustration, and fear. I also love teaching all kinds of life skills, so this online school covers a lot of different subjects.
Through my international dog seminars, DVDs, books, and my in-person and online training schools, I've helped hundreds of thousands of dogs and their people thrive.
When I transitioned from college math to being a professional dog trainer in 2003, I was excited to be able to communicate to dogs what I wanted, using positive reinforcement. To be honest, I really liked the sense of control it gave me, in a positive way.
As I matured as a dog trainer and a person, my focus shifted to ensuring that dogs still get to be dogs, that we find ways to live together that meet their needs and ours, as their caregivers. That's why I developed BAT, and why I now use reinforcement to teach cooperative care and consent. [click for my bio]
I created this site with all-inclusive memberships to help dog trainers and pet lovers have affordable access to effective, humane modern dog training techniques. Courses can also be purchased one at a time.
This online dog school is more than just education. It's an international community with some of the world's best trainers. We have a LOT of classes and keep adding more in my shiny new live case consult format. I'm teaching some and I'm thrilled that many classes are also taught by my favorite dog behavior experts from all over the globe.
We learn and grow together, to encourage empowered, trustworthy, wholehearted living with dogs.
