It will teach you the latest techniques in desensitization, counter-conditioning, and environmental setup to empower your dog to make great choices. Students will learn from working with their own dogs as well as carefully studying and observing the other dog in class work through the exercises. Open to all people and dogs regardless of experience. We will be rehearsing skills practice before working with our dogs. Feel free to bring a person to assist your dog while resting in between short work sessions to allow you to learn from the other teams without being too distracted by your own dogs. You will be observing other dog and handler teams in between turns. All dogs must have an appropriate harness with a back clip and front clip option to participate. Harnesses can be purchased from us or bring your own. Please note we will be inside the classroom for some skills learning and discussion, but the actual BAT sessions will be outside rain or shine!
