What is BAT?
When dealing with aggression, fear or frustration, Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT) builds social skills, confidence around the trigger and trust in the handler. While food and other rewards are used with BAT in some cases, the main focus of BAT is giving the dog maximum control in the desensitization process.
This presentation will use video clips with case studies to show how to set up BAT, how to address problems that arise and how to use BAT with other behavior modification techniques. We'll discuss the science behind BAT, the ways this technique is kept low-stress, how to use BAT in the real world and more. You'll also see a live demo with a reactive dog and get some hands-on practice with leash-handling techniques that are essential for training your dog.
Who should attend?
Dog Owners, Trainers, Behaviorists, Shelter and Rescue Staff Members,
Dog Walkers, Daycare Staff and Veterinary Staff.
Seminar is approved for 13 CEUs for CPDT-KA and CPDT-KSA Knowledge.
