All beings can be kinder when we're safe and loved.
-Grisha
The Grisha Stewart Academy is an online dog school for people who care about humanity, too.

Here at the Grisha Stewart Academy, we care about people and dogs as individuals. We are in this for good, doing our part to co-create authentic relationships in communities in which we all can thrive. We continue to learn to match behavior to ideals.

We believe that love is love, no human is illegal, Black lives matter, your life matters, science is important, women’s rights are human rights, animals are individuals with an emotional experience, kindness is everything, and peace deserves a chance.

  • Leash belays kits and long lines are on my online store, along with books, oracle cards, treat tins, and many other items.

  • I'm excited to be collaborating on the Spinner Project with Tom Sire Clark and Diane Redding. Spinners are artistic meditation / fidget objects and they'll be gifted to travel around the world on their own in the coming months - they belong to everyone.

  • The Lesson is Love podcast is part of the Spinner Project now. I will be doing interviews, as time allows.

  • I'm also collaborating with Alison Roffman, LCSW to offer grief release experiences. Our first grief ritual is on June 8 in Deadwood, Oregon and it is free, open to all. Learn more at Stellar Village Grief Retreats. If you're interested in hosting one near you, let us know via that page.

  • We have a scholarship program for our Diamond membership. All BIPOC/PGM dog professionals get free lifetime access. Low-income individuals who do not identify as BIPOC/PGM can apply for our 6-month membership. [Learn more]

  • We have a swag shop online for GSA with Dream Big shirts, hats, and other goodies. [Learn more]

  • We have some free resources available on loose leash walking and other topics here.

Treatment Techniques for Dogs Affected by Trauma - Recorded live on March 6, 2024
Help for Dogs who are Hypervigilant or Withdrawn.

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. Co-hosted by Grisha Stewart and Rachel Fusaro.

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 impacts many other systems and leads to behavior that’s inexplicable otherwise.
  • Learn how trauma influences a dog's executive functioning, learning capacity, memory retention, and recollection abilities.
  • Practical strategies for grounding and nourishing the nervous system.
  • Included with Diamond membership or click Learn More to purchase separately.

I find Sarah Fisher's work to be mind-blowingly important! It demands we ask the question "WHY does(n't) my dog do ____?" Rather than "How do I make my dog do ____?" Being in tune with my companion and helping my clients be in tune with theirs is something I am incredibly excited to be able to bring to the table, and I'm forever grateful for Sarah's (and Grisha's!) help with this. Don't miss this discussion, I wish I could give it 10 stars!!

To say that I learned so much for this course is the understatement of the year (and it's almost the end of December). Truly, Simone is incredible and I can't wait to get started with a few of my client's dogs with their predatory behaviours! I knew that we couldn't train predation out of our dogs but learning how we can still help them fulfill their basic, instinctual need in a safe, rewarding and healthy way is....priceless! Thank you Simone and Grisha, this one has been one of my favs so far!!!

Great info for a dog guardian/parent who is trying to get out of old ways (leash corrections) and build a more mutually positive relationship! I want nothing more than to see my dog thrive and fulfill his potential, and this course will help us both!

This course, plus the "Walk with Me" course, helped us go from having two dogs flying around on their leashes and barking frantically to enjoying our dog walks. The calming exercises, impulse control exercises, and adding "find it," "turn," etc to our dog walks have been game changers. Also, seeing students go through the training exercises was super helpful too. Thanks Dante, Grisha, and students!
