WHAT WILL I LEARN?
This seminar includes info on Grisha's BAT 2.0 technique and also explores 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.
- Overview of Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT)
- How to read body language and ask your dog questions
- How unmet needs lead to problems
- Solving problems with empowerment
- How to encourage cooperation, for example, with:
* Coming when called
* Polite walking (including the BAT leash skills)
* Vet care & grooming
Grisha's entertaining, active presentation includes powerpoint, videos, and (in venues that allow a dog on stage) live demonstrations. Her books and DVDs will also be available.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Teamwork seminars are open to the public as well as professional dog trainers, veterinarians, dog walkers, etc.
* Dog Walkers. With the leash walking tips in the seminar, you'll save strain on your arms and back and also be able to offer a better service to your customers.
* People with who can't take their dogs to group classes because of aggression, age, illness, or busy lives.
* People with dogs who are about to take group classes. Many dog training classes are overwhelming, especially when the family doesn't know much about force-free training before the class begins. This will also give you an idea of what to look for in a local dog trainer.
* People in group classes. If you are already in a class, the fundamental information in this seminar will help you reduce stress and get more out of the lessons with your trainer.
* Professional dog trainers. Grisha's training is based on empowerment and solving problems by meeting the dog's needs. As a professional, it can be very helpful to get more tools to work on these common issues. This is especially useful if correction collars are in your dog training toolbox, but it is even useful for for force free trainers who want to expand their techniques and get more explanations.
* Shelter Staff & Volunteers. These practical tips can be used with dogs at your organization.
* Veterinary Staff. Get some insights into modern dog training so that you can make better referrals.
