Behavior Adjustment Training (B.A.T.) Private Lessons
Advanced Behavior Modification
These customized private lessons are for reactive, fearful, or anxious dogs. The Behavior Adjustment Training program was created by Grisha Stewart. The goal of the sessions is to help you understand your dog’s problem behaviors better and to help your dog learn how to relax in times of stress. These lessons are taught by a Behavior Adjustment Training Certified Instructor. Control Unleashed Techniques (a program created by Leslie McDevitt) are also used.
Goals:
Behavior Adjustment Training, or BAT, rehabilitates dog reactivity by looking at why the dog is reactive and helping him or her meet his needs in other ways. In a nutshell, BAT is a dog-friendly application of ‘functional analysis’ that gives the dogs a chance to learn to control their own comfort level through peaceful means. It’s very empowering to your dog, in a good way.
Requirements
- Dogs must be at least 6 months of age. No upper age limits.
- All dogs must have Rabies and DHPP vaccinations or titers. Proof of vaccinations or titers must be brought to first class. Dogs without proof of vaccinations or titers will not be able to participate.
- Pre-registration with pre-payment is required.
- Due to the nature of this type of training, we ask that only adult handlers attend sessions, unless requested otherwise.
- Please fill out a Behavior Profile Form for your instructor before your lesson
- PLEASE NOTE: Due to the complex nature of behavior issues in dogs, it make take several private lessons with your dog, and also some work on your part at home, in order to see an improvement in your dog’s behavior. Your first lesson is likely to be more of a consultation, where the behavior consultant takes the time to get to know you and your dog.
- ALSO NOTE: If the problem behavior is specific to your home environment, or is pack-related or family-related, an InHome Consultation is recommended. We have recently expanded our service area for InHome Consultations. Please see this page for more information.
