BAT Helps Dogs Make Friends!

Do you dread your walks because your dog barks, growls, or even bites? Do you wish they could make healthy choices in social situations, so you didn't have to worry or be embarrassed? Do you want to know how to support your dog's well-being and security?

In 2009, I was a dog trainer whose heart dog (Peanut) barked at people, dogs, and lots of other things. I was mortified. None of the existing methods helped me support him enough, so I came up with one of my own, blending all the best parts of what already existed with my own insights and experience. Peanut lived a wonderful life with many new friends.

BAT and I have been empowering dogs and their people all around the world since then, and I'm happy to say it's helped over 200,000 dogs. In 2022, I updated BAT to 3.0, with more nuance and emphasis on relationship. BAT is a systematic way to help dogs connect to others with confidence and ease. It's informed by current understanding of trauma, attachment styles, neurobiology, affective neuroscience, clicker training, and a whole lot more.

In this webinar, you'll get an overview of how to use BAT for your own dog, no experience necessary. This is an introduction to a whole new way of thinking, so be prepared to want to learn more afterwards.

This is meant as an introduction to the technique for family dogs. It will give you an overview so you know whether it's a good fit for your situation and the relationship you want with your dog. Professional dog trainers are also invited to attend. If you're not a professional who already works with reactivity and aggression, then after this session, it would be helpful to work with a Certified BAT Instructor or at least someone with an experienced eye to do training scenarios. If that's not possible, we have a six-week course on BAT that will give you activities to do with your dog.

Webinar and student Q&A recorded online February, 2023.

  • Suitable for family dogs, professional trainers, behaviorists, shelter workers, and anyone looking to expand your knowledge and skills to support dogs.

  • Learn how to safely introduce your dog or puppy to new dogs, people, and situations.

  • Learn how to respond if your dog barks or growls, and how your current way of reacting may be making things worse. We'll also direct you to other classes to learn even more for this part.
