    Talking About...
    The Canine Triage Model and Why Canine Pros Should Work Together
    with special guest Rebecca Hanlon

    The canine industry is full of passionate professionals, yet dogs continue to fall through the cracks, moving between trainers, vets, behaviourists, nutritionists, physiotherapists and specialists without anyone holding the whole picture.

    The Canine Triage Model     was created by Rebecca Hanlon to help fill that gap - a professional, whole-dog training programme for those who want to change the way our industry supports dogs and their guardians.

    So let's talk about it!
    January 27th, 2027. 10am - 11am Pacific Time.

  • 1 Hour Meet Up In Zoom

Meet Our Special Guest

Rebecca Hanlon, Canine Behaviourist, Nutrition Practitioner, 
Canine Triage Practitioner


Hi, I'm Rebecca!
I've spent my entire life fascinated by behaviour; first through over twenty years working in health, rehabilitation and education, and now through the incredible world of dogs.

Today, I'm a canine behaviourist, educator and lifelong student, dedicated to helping dogs, their guardians and fellow professionals better understand behaviour through a compassionate, science-led, whole-dog approach.

Alongside my practical work with family dogs and complex rescue cases in both the UK and Spain, I've achieved advanced qualifications including a Level 6 Diploma in Canine Behaviour and Psychology, a Level 5 Ofqual Diploma for Canine Behaviour Practitioners, qualifications in canine nutrition, herbalism, teaching, health and wellness coaching, and I have the privilege of tutoring the next generation of canine professionals.

I believe behaviour is never "just behaviour" - it's communication. Whether I'm supporting a dog, teaching a student or guiding a guardian, my goal is always the same: to understand the individual, meet their needs, and help create a calmer, happier and more connected life.


Meet Your Host

Founder of Empowered Animals, LLC

Grisha Stewart MA, CPDT-KA, KPACTP

I'm a collaborative dog trainer, author, international presenter, singer-songwriter, and keynote speaker, best known in the dog world for developing BAT (Behavior Adjustment Training). I've been helping people and dogs professionally since 2003. 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 (see Blue BAT book and BAT Foundations course) 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). My pronouns are she/her and 'they' is also fine. Some identities I carry are middle age, raised in poverty and now of middle class, queer (pansexual), and neurodivergent, US citizen, European ancestry, widow, sister, aunt, wife, step-mom, cat mom, and (of course!) dog mom.

My non-dog passion projects are community building, songwriting, and woodturning.

I'm fascinated by animal behavior (including humans), somatic awareness, spirituality, and psychology.
