Why Become a Diamond?


A Diamond membership makes you part of the family! It's essentially an unlimited, all-access pass to my dog training and behavior school, including courses from dog behavior experts from around the world as well as my BAT 2.0 and Ahimsa eBooks. Plus loads of other benefits and community interactions.



Diamond Membership includes all the courses required for the CBATI-KA designation, and only Diamond Members will be eligible to apply for the CBATI-KA Assessment Process. Diamonds also get a free listing in our Dog Trainer’s Directory.

My online dog school is an Approved Education Provider for the CCPDT, and IAABC so most courses are approved for CPDT and CCBC CEUs (click here to see them!). Many also earn IAABC CEUs representing excellent value for your continuing education!

Starting in January, 2025 we will be introducing more EXCLUSIVE content including Live Case Studies and Discussion Panels, plus a Diamond Member Newsletter and special monthly video recordings by me Grisha Stewart.


 If Diamond isn’t for you, we also have a great value Library Pass available. See the comparison chart below to help you decide!

  • One steady, affordable monthly fee, so you can budget with a Community Supported Rate if the standard rate is too much of a hardship at this time. If you'd rather get an annual membership or one-time pass, Click here for more options.

  • Diamond members with dog-related businesses get a free listing in the Empowered Animals Dog Pro Directory, a robust directory of skilled, ethical, compassionate dog trainers and other professionals.

  • Access all Live classes and recordings by me (Grisha) and other expert instructors (Andre Yeu, Sarah Fisher, Susan Friedman, Kathy Sdao, Chirag Patel, Lili Chin, Simone Mueller, Sowjanya Vijayanagar, Anders Hallgren, Katrien Lismont, Diane Garrod, Michael Shikashio, Andrew Hale, Karen Faith, and lots more!)

  • Earn income or shelter donations in the affiliate program.

  • New dog training and behavior classes are added frequently with speakers chosen for their commitment to empowerment-based training and kindness to humans. I select instructors who are lifelong learners with information that will help professional dog trainers -- especially if I think I can learn something new from them, too!

  • Special deals for your students or friends to save on courses.

  • No commitment! Cancel automatic renewal at any time and keep access until the end of your month. Restart whenever you want with no penalty.

  • Downloaded eBooks are still yours to keep if membership expires!

  • This is a phenomenal value, and with our rate lock, you can count on your Diamond rate never going up (unless you cancel and restart later). Active members are ancestored into the rate from when they last started the membership, so if the rate goes up, it’s still only $39.99 or $29.99 for you.

  • Is that still too much? If you just want the on-demand version of the courses, rather than the Diamond perks like the directory access and live webinars, check out our Library Pass.

You don't have to pick and choose!

It's a luxury and a value at the same time. Everything we teach on this site is included for Diamond members no matter the rate you pick!

From Our Anonymous Member Survey

"Why did you become a Diamond?"

Always new

Diamond Member

Because of the amazing courses, all the exciting content and always new coming. The quality of the courses, presentation and professionals that share so much knowledge.

Too good to pass up

Diamond Member

The courses you offer are amazing and I couldn't just choose one or two. The price was too good to pass up and the content of your courses and so packed full of information. Thank you for offering this membership.

Learn as much as possible

Diamond Member

I wanted access to multiple resources and felt that the live programs would be very helpful. I want to learn as much as possible and the Diamond Membership gives me that opportunity. 

Too much great stuff

Diamond Member

There are a lot courses that drew my attention. Too much great stuff here and I don't know how to choose. 

Facebook Group

Diamond Member

The courses in the catalog looked interesting and I didn’t want to have to pick and choose. The Facebook group where I can ask questions was attractive to me.

Reactive Dog

Diamond Member

To gain more knowledge and skills but particularly in BAT at the moment as I have a reactive dog and I want to help him.

More than one course

Diamond Member

Because of my job and working times i am unable to participate regularly in lives. I also wanted to look at more than one course option so becoming a diamond member gave me the ability to do that freely at my availability. 

No Brainer

Diamond Member

Just quickly browsing your training school, I found several things right off the BAT (I know, I know!) that interested me.  The diamond membership seemed like a no brainer.  

Only 99 cents more

Diamond Member

There are several courses that sound interesting, but the first one that caught my eye is the Predation Substitute Training.  That training is 29, and the diamond membership is only 99 cents more for a month.  I thought it would make sense to check out the other course options for the month too!

Easier and cheaper

Diamond Member

I saw a lot of courses on this site that could be interesting for me. So i thought it would be a lot easier for me to become a Diamond Member (and also cheaper)
