So What is BAT?

Behavior Adjustment Training, or BAT, uses environmental consequences to reward socially acceptable choices. In a nutshell, BAT gives the dogs a chance to learn to control their environment through peaceful means. BAT uses functional and bonus rewards, combined with clicker training and systematic desensitization to help dogs make better choices in an error-free way.

The key to BAT working quickly is low stress, never leaving the dog in the ‘deep end of the pool’ or punishing them for incorrect choices.

What will I learn on the Seminar?

BAT is an excellent way to help dogs overcome fears, decrease aggression, and improve social skills. Using a mix of slides, video and live demonstrations, you'll get a good start on learning what BAT is, how it's done, and how you can combine it with other methods.

The BAT Seminar is open to both dog professionals and pet dog owners alike!
