I learned a lot from this course, Grisha's section was helpful for seeing how to prevent a reactive dog from feeling over threshold and Michael's half was great for those times when you're still practising your BAT set ups but there's a SEC that could spook your learner. I am now practising sliding my hands down the leashes and locking grips constantly!

Although Grisha and Michael demonstrate very different leash handling techniques (Grisha long line and Michael short leash) both techniques are applicable to use with any dog, depending on the environment and situation, and are important skills to master with our own dogs, and then teach to our clients, or use with the dogs we work with. I always enjoy any webinar from Grisha or Michael, they each enthusiastically share their knowledge.

skills learned hand in hand for both sides, proactive and defensive, of leash handling! Amazing approach and discussion to help fully understand the use of both!

I haven't read the text, but I was able to see most of the live airing, and plan to see the recording with the bonus addition and get the hand-outs. I thought the webinar was very good. I have a lot of experience with 6-8' leashes, but not with long lines, so I'm looking forward to practicing with both (picked up a few tips with the shorter leashes, but am looking forward to seeing how different it will be with harnesses - have never used them before). I thought both speakers were excellent, and explanations and visual instruction were also. Definitely 5 stars for this!

Good information on leash work for aggressive behavior or emergency situations.

I am a LOVER of technique especially manual systems. I am older, run my own pet sitting and dog walking biz and 99% is dog walking. I did not know about the pulley/O ring pairing and found it most helpful. I look forward to deepening my relationship as well as learning new ways to speak dog through your classes.

Knowing the first version of BAT, this course is a very interesting upgrade !

Interesting webinar with Michael en Grisha. A lot of practical examples of how to use the leash in crowded places

This is such an excellent foundational course for defensive leash handling as well as for anyone who walks with dogs using a long leash. I will watch this again and again!

A very practical webinar with two lovely professionals. Highly recommended.

These were lots of new handling techniques on top of the BAT leash handling we know. I am eager to try them out with my little still-puller.

This webinar was the first webinar by Grisha and Michael that I watched and I was simply thrilled. I was particularly impressed by the applicability of the individual techniques and I hadn't come across anything comparable (here in Germany) that had changed my own work so much. This seminar was also the reason why I took Michael's "Aggression in Dogs Master Course" and why I am now a CBATI-KA myself. Definitely one of the best webinars I have ever seen and my personal game changer.
