This webinar is exceptional. The speaker and hosts demonstrate compassion in their teaching examples and in how they treat their attendees. The trauma treatment information is taken in large measure from human trauma treatment and is presented in a manner that makes sense for canines and respects their canine-ness. Whether you (think you) work with traumatized dogs or not, you will get useful information from this webinar. (And you probably do work with dogs who have experienced trauma at some level.) Thank you for this webinar!

Enhance your professional capabilities in the field of canine trauma treatment.

Explore the methods of aiding the recovery and healing of traumatized dogs with Danielle Beck from the UK, an esteemed expert in the field of canine trauma and rehabilitation. For decades, trainers have been looking at how to address aggression and reactivity, and that’s lead to a deep curiosity of trauma as one of the main underlying causes. Trauma also impacts many other systems and leads to behavior that’s inexplicable otherwise.

This webinar represents a comprehensive exploration into practical strategies for dogs affected by traumatic experiences.

Viewers will gain an understanding of how trauma influences a dog's executive functioning, learning capacity, memory retention, and recollection abilities. Special attention is paid to the challenges in working with dogs who are either excessively withdrawn or display hyper-vigilant behaviors, rendering traditional training methods ineffective.

The live session and Q&A has been recorded for Diamond Members and Purchasers to watch later (recording will be available beginning approximately 24 hours after broadcast).

Library Passholders will have access to the recording starting one month after broadcast.

Recorded March 6, 2024.

  • Essential for professionals in the veterinary and canine training fields, as well as individuals dedicated to the welfare of dogs.

  • Enhance your knowledge base, so you can make make well-informed decisions in the support and rehabilitation of dogs impacted by trauma.

  • Deep dive into the effects of trauma on the brain, and the relationship between trauma and canine cognitive processes.

  • Fully understand how grounding techniques can assist with emotional stability, co-regulation and self-regulation.

  • Discover the role of scentwork, puzzles, and pattern games in canine trauma rehabilitation.

  • This webinar and whole lot more is included with a Diamond Membership All Access Pass. For one low price per month, you get access to all of our emotionally enriching dog courses. See if Diamond is right for you.

  • Already a Diamond? You're already enrolled in this webinar, at no extra charge. Just log in and refresh this page, and you'll see a Start Learning or Resume Learning button on the top.

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.
