Description

In BAT 2.0, the focus is to empower the dog to approach his trigger on his own with his caretaker playing a more supportive role, intervening only when necessary to keep the dog working below his threshold level. The new techniques are less stressful for the student dog, help promote good choices on the part of the dog, and focuses on BAT set-ups which arrange a safe environment so that the desired behavior can occur and be reinforced naturally.

Critical Reviews

BAT 2.0 is a must-read for anyone who has or works with reactive dogs. For years, dogs all over the world have benefited from the successful philosophies and empowering techniques in BAT, but Grisha Stewart has taken it to the next level. -- Victoria Stilwell, author, Train Your Dog Positively

In BAT 2.0, Grisha Stewart provides the essential answer to this all-important question: Behavior is to have an effect, that is, to be effective. By safely allowing dogs more control over their own outcomes, especially in challenging conditions where fearful, frustrated, and aggressive behavior is most likely, caregivers will be more successful. -- Susan G. Friedman, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus Utah State University, www.behaviorworks.org

BAT 2.0 is uniquea living document detailing the evolution of a very effective intervention from the experience of many practitioners. I loved the practicality of this book, as well as Grisha Stewart's dedication to giving dogs a voice in their own development! This is must-reading for those working with dog reactivity in its many forms. -- Ris VanFleet, Ph.D., CDBC, author, The Human Half of Dog Training

What Grisha has done with BAT 2.0 is just that. The method combines operant and classical conditioning with a deep knowledge of the dogs natural language and behavior. And even though BAT is grounded in hard science, Grisha has a way of explaining things so clear and simple that everybody can understand itand do it. -- Morten Egtvedt, Director, Canis Clicker Training Academy

I love the pedagogical approach of BAT 2.0 and the focus on how to install a feeling of control in a dog's life, all in all a fundamental recipe if you want your dog to feel safe and happy. It also adds an ability for dogs to predict events, which further strengthens its self-worth and being in control in relevant life situations. -- Anders Hallgren, author, Stress, Anxiety, and Aggression in Dogs

BAT 2.0 shows that Grisha is continually evaluating and adjusting her behavior modification recipes. She has made great steps forward in her quest to help the emotional well-being of dogs. -- Terry Ryan, author, Coaching People to Train Their Dogs
