Do you know...

...that your dog isn't trying to be alpha over you? This on-demand webinar is packed with modern, science-based training info with practical advice. You'll learn how to solve behavior problems and build a reliable relationship with your dog. A need-based approach (rather than the outdated dominance model) creates a culture of trust and mutual respect.

It’s a recording of a live webinar in which I explored some fundamental techniques and ideas that will put you in a better position to train at home or in group classes with a local dog trainer. It also includes some info for for dog reactivity and socialization using my BAT 2.0 technique.

  • How unmet needs lead to problems

  • Solving problems with empowerment

  • Using empowerment for aggression, frustration, and fear in dogs - example: Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT)

  • How to read body language and ask your dog questions

  • How to encourage cooperation, for example, with: Coming when called, polite walking, and vet care / grooming

  • Very helpful for regular pet families. Also useful for professional trainers who want an introduction to BAT and empowerment techniques.

  • Included with Diamond Membership (see below).

  • We also have a Library Pass which lets you stream this course and a lot of other pre recorded content. Find out more on the Library Pass Page.

Instructor

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 grief tending, community singing, and woodturning.

I'm fascinated by animal behavior (including humans), somatic awareness, spirituality, psychology. My work is directed at 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 (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.

Diane Redding and I co-host a podcast called The Lesson is Love.

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), neurodiverse, middle age, white, raised in poverty and now of middle class, and US citizen, spiritual non-Christian leaning toward neo-Druid (but raised in Christian culture). My pronouns are she/her. I am still wrestling with living on the stolen river watershed of the Siuslaw people, who are part of the CTCLUSI.
