Think “functional” to solve your dog’s reactivity issues.
Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT) was developed by author Grisha Stewart to rehabilitate and prevent dog reactivity. BAT looks at the function of growling, lunging, or fleeing and helps dogs learn socially acceptable behaviors that serve that same function. In a nutshell, BAT builds confidence by giving dogs a chance to learn to control their environment through peaceful means. That makes BAT very empowering to your dog or puppy, in a good way. It’s also empowering for you, as you learn how to understand your dog and help him learn to safely get along with people, dogs, and other “triggers.”
You will learn:
• How to encourage or shape a “replacement behavior” that provides your dog the same “functional reward” as reactivity.
• Why it is important to keep your dog calm in the presence of a trigger while teaching him to make good choices.
• Step-by-step instructions needed to stage BAT set-ups to work with your dog in a controlled environment.
• Practical ways to keep your dog from being pushed into a reactive state in and around your home and on walks.
• How to use BAT preventively for puppy socialization.

"Every trainer should have the methods described in BAT in their tool box. There'd be a lot more happy dogs and happy owners if they did!"

-Patricia McConnell, PhD, author of The Other End of the Leash, For the Love of a Dog, Feisty Fido, Love Has No Age Limit, and many other books and DVDs.

"Every trainer who works with dogs that aren't completely bombproof should have both the technical skills of BAT and the learning theory behind it in their toolbox. Stewart presents a thoughtful, reader-friendly protocol that is appropriate for both professionals and laypeople. Both scientific and entertaining, this book will skillfully guide you through a sticky subject, that of negative reinforcement, and explain clearly how this quadrant, when humanely applied as part of a broader intervention, can empower dogs to learn to make choices about their behavior in socially pressured environments. This book will deservedly become a popular resource in the reactive dog literature."
