Your dog is not dominant! How do I know that? Because there is no such thing as a dominant dog, only aggressive, fearful, or frustrated behavior that doesn't fit your lifestyle. And the answer is to help them find more appropriate ways to meet their needs. By giving your dog more confidence, not less, you can have the dog of your dreams.
I'm excited to announce that my BAT 2.0 book will be out very soon (December 2015 or January 2016). It's over 300 pages, with a color insert for the new illustrations. You can order from store.GrishaStewart.com/BAT2
Here's some info from the cover:
Do you ever just want to tell your dog to stop freaking out—that whatever has them barking or fleeing is not such a big deal? Fortunately, there’s a way for your dog to get that message. The long awaited Behavior Adjustment Training 2.0 from trainer/author Grisha Stewart has arrived. In the years since BAT was introduced, it has been adopted by trainers worldwide to reduce reactivity in dogs. Grisha has always maintained that BAT is a work in progress and that mindset is clear from her significant updates to the technique.
In BAT 2.0, the focus is to create scenarios that empower the dog to observe and learn about triggers. In BAT 2.0, the caretaker plays a more supportive role than in the original BAT or in other force-free techniques, intervening only when necessary to keep stress levels low. The new techniques are simple, relaxed, and promote good choices. BAT set-ups are arrange a safe environment to let dogs learn more about the world around them. In these settings, their appropriate behavior is reinforced naturally.
