Behavior Adjustment Training
helps dogs improve their social skills in a natural way. BAT
has quickly swept around the globe as dog trainers discover
how effective it is in rehabilitating dogs with fear or
aggression issues. The Organic Socialization DVD was created
for the home viewer and is not a seminar. It will give you a
solid understanding of this simple, dog-friendly technique.
You’ll get explanations of the theory, start-to-finish case
studies, writing assignments, handouts, and live demos that
clearly show you how to use BAT.
This DVD will be a valuable asset to trainers, behaviorist,
shelters, and pet owners in the treatment of the behavior
issues of fear and aggression.
"I was really impressed by the progress some of the dogs
made in this workshop and I'm planning on adding BAT
training to my tool box!" - Nicole Cottam, MS, ACAAB, Tufts

Learn how to build dogs' coping skills and decrease fear using Behavior
Adjustment Training. You’ll see how to add BAT to your behavior
modification toolbox, including pitfalls to avoid and ways to integrate
BAT with other dog-friendly methods.
Behavior Adjustment Training is a reinforcement-based system for
rehabilitating problem behaviors, including aggression, fear, pulling on
leash, and more. Just about any 'bad' behaviors that are maintained by
the environment can be replaced by more appropriate behaviors, using the
same environmental triggers and rewards.
When working with fear and aggression, BAT uses *operant*
counter-conditioning with a marker signal and systematic desensitization
to build social skills, confidence around the trigger, and trust in the
handler. While food or other rewards are used with BAT in some cases,
the main focus of BAT is on using environmental rewards that already
maintain the problem behavior.

Bio. . .
Grisha Stewart is the owner of
Ahimsa Dog Training. She is a clicker trainer that specializes in the
treatment and prevention of dog aggression. Grisha has a Master's in
Mathematics from Bryn Mawr College. She is now pursuing a Master's in
Psychology with an emphasis in animal behavior at Antioch University,
while still running her Ahimsa and doing private consults for aggression
cases. Her first career as a theoretical mathematician and college
instructor serves her well in dog training and behavior consultations,
because she relies heavily on the problem solving, critical thinking,
and teaching skills she gained in that field. Since founding Ahimsa Dog
Training in 2003, she has found her canine and human students to be much
more excited about learning than her college students!
