I appreciated the methodical approach you take in introducing the different steps involved. I find that I have done a lot of this myself, but it helps to reinforce it and make sure that I am doing it for the right reasons. It is also helpful, because my older dog is going deaf and her eyesight is not so great either, so the last section on working with deaf and blind dogs was very helpful. Thanks so much! This is my first full course since joining and I'm very happy with it. Looking forward to the rest of them.

Easy to follow explanations and really good at showing how cooperative care is not just about vet or grooming procedures but is part of the integrated philosophy of dogs as living creatures with wishes and needs, including the need to fit into our worlds, and navigate our (often totally absurd - to them) rules, without having to suffer coercion and fear.

I love the core message of Cooperative Care. Our dogs have emotions and boundaries too, and it's so valuable to give them a choice in what happens to them. Great practical tips, and I've taken lots of notes! I enjoy the way the lectures are put together.

Instructor

Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Author

Grisha Stewart MA, CPDT-KA, KPACTP

I'm a collaborative dog trainer, author, podcaster, international presenter, and keynote speaker based in Oregon, USA. I enjoy developing empowering approaches to dog socialization and everyday manners.

I'm fascinated by animal behavior, somatic awareness, and psychology. I'm passionate about 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 technique (BAT 2.0 and the new BAT 3.0) is used worldwide to help dogs gain confidence and social skills. A conservative calculation is that well over 200,000 people have learned about BAT so far.

I have always loved teaching. I earned a Master's in mathematics and taught college courses, but I found my true calling in dog training. I have been teaching dog training and behavior since 2003. In 2010, I started traveling worldwide to teach dog trainers about BAT. In 2014 I developed BAT 2.0 and also started my online dog training and behavior school, which now has over 100 classes from my favorite emotionally intelligent dog experts. My new podcast, The Lesson is Love launches in 2023.

As an outgoing introvert, I enjoy traveling to cooperative conferences and love teaching about dogs online. I refresh my batteries by savoring life in the woods with my husband (Tom), Labrador (Joey), cat (Garbanzo aka "Adventure Kitty" and "Baby Panther"), and Little Brown Dog (Zuki).
