Training that targets Reactivity, Frustration or Fear, but not only!

Behavior Adjustment Training – BAT 2.0 is a new training method that reduces reactivity by giving dogs more control over their own safety, especially when they are on leash. This method was developed by Grisha Stewart.

If your dog is lunging, barking or running away when they see other dogs or people, they may benefit from training with this method.

With Behavior Adjustment Training, we create opportunities for your dog to interact with their environment, both emotionally and physically, in a comfortable way. When we train using BAT, we arrange safe scenarios where dogs can socialize naturally and interact with their triggers in a socially acceptable way.

We will create situations in which the dog stays in their comfort zone and at a low level of arousal. If these conditions are met, the dog is ready to learn and absorb new information in a positive way.
