Meet the Instructors

Taught by service dog trainer and child safety specialist Vanesa Vizuete of Helping Paws NW, with some tidbits on consent for contact from me (Grisha).

Service Dog Trainer

Vanesa Vizuete, CPDT-KA

I am a professional pet dog trainer, service dog trainer, and international speaker. I am passionate about educating families around the world to teach their children life skills like empathy, consent, respect, and healthy boundaries through the daily interactions they have with their dog.

My mission is to promote healthy interactions to reduce the number of kids bitten by a familiar dog and lower the incidence of dogs being re-homed or euthanized.

My "I Speak Woof!!" classes don't just teach the entire family how to be safe around dogs; these lessons make a lifetime impression and can help children grow into adults with healthy boundaries and compassion.

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 community building, songwriting, and woodturning.

I'm fascinated by animal behavior (including humans), somatic awareness, spirituality, psychology. My work is directed at wholehearted living for all beings. For over 20 years, I've been coaching people to help dogs with a history of aggression, frustration, or fear as well as puppies. My other favorite species is 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.

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), neurodivergent, middle age, white, raised in poverty and now of middle class, and US citizen. My pronouns are she/her. I am still working on finding ways to live in reciprocity with Siuslaw people, upon whose ancestral lands I reside.
