I really like the length of the lessons, they are clear and not tiring. Grisha brings a great attitude to help solve problems that usually make people think of punishing as a first option.

This course series highly recommended to new dog owners puppy or adult, and also for trainers who train puppies and young dogs or recently arrived rescues. Some different approach can be found. I love Grisha`s approach to give choices and substitute /alternative behaviors or enrichments.

Common behavior challenges

Are you frustrated with your dog inside? I once had a client whose dog jumped up to the TOP of the refridgerator to steal bread! Dogs make messes, chew furniture, bite, howl, and can make your life a nightmare. It doesn't have to be that way, and you don't need to yell or punish your dog to make it better.

There’s a common misunderstanding that dogs just know how to do what we want, and when they don’t they’re bad dogs. But they’re doing their best, just being dogs! It's a translation and motivation problem.

When you learn why dogs do what they do, and what your dog needs from you, it makes it so much easier to get on the same page and enjoy time together.

What you will learn

Your dog can't wait for you to get going!

  1. Untangle the way you think about dogs, seeing behavior as a way for a dog to meet their needs.
  2. Strategies for housetraining, destruction, and other common problems that work for you AND your dog.
  3. Bring peace to your home, for more snuggles and good times.

Who is this course for?

Instructor

Dog Trainer, Author, Singer-Songwriter

Grisha Stewart MA, CPDT-KA, KPACTP

I'm a collaborative dog trainer, author, international presenter, singer-songwriter, and keynote speaker of European ancestry (best guess based on DNA and some genealogy is Scotland, "England & Northwestern Europe," Wales, "Germanic Europe," Ireland, and Norway). I've been helping people and dogs professionally since 2003. My passion projects are grief tending, community singing, and woodturning.

I'm fascinated by animal behavior (including humans), somatic awareness, spirituality, psychology. My work is directed at 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 (BAT 2.0 book and BAT 3.0) is used worldwide to help dogs gain confidence and social skills. Well over 200,000 people have learned about BAT so far.

Diane Redding and I co-host a podcast called The Lesson is Love.

As an outgoing introvert, I refresh my batteries by singing, expressing grief in community, and savoring life with my husband (Tom), Labrador (Joey), cat (Garbanzo aka "Adventure Kitty" and "Baby Panther"), and Little Brown Dog (Zuki). I identify as a queer (pansexual), neurodiverse, middle age, white, raised in poverty and now of middle class, and US citizen, spiritual non-Christian leaning toward neo-Druid (but raised in Christian culture). My pronouns are she/her. I am still wrestling with living on the stolen river watershed of the Siuslaw people, who are part of the CTCLUSI.
