Please note that this is the out of date version of the BAT book. This technique has been thoroughly updated with BAT 2.0 and Grisha recommends reading BAT 2.0 instead of this book. Look for the blue book cover. 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 1.0 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 1.0 preventively for puppy socialization.

Dogs are dogs and wolves are wolves. Except when they aren't! Most scientists now agree that the dog is a subspecies of wolf: Canis lupus familiaris. And while most wolves look and act differently from most dogs, it can be very hard to make accurate identifications, especially since wolves and dogs can and do interbreed and certain breeds of dogs look and act a lot like wolves. Having spent years employed at Wolf Park, in Indiana, authors Jessica Addams and Andrew Miller have encountered hundreds of so-called wolves that turned out to be dogs, hybrids that exhibit the characteristics of both wolves and dogs, and even pure wolves that act like dogs. Between Dog and Wolf takes a fascinating look at how wolves and dogs are related, why they can be so hard to tell apart and what rescue organizations need to know when they encounter a canine of unknown origins. You will learn: 
<ul>
<li> How and why there are so many misconceptions about wolf behavior.</li>
<li>What evolutionary forces turned good social hunters (wolves) into animals whose key adaptation was to become good with people (dogs).</li>
<li>Which physical and behavioral characteristics displayed by an animal tend to indicate it's a dog vs. a wolf...usually!</li>
<li>The state of DNA testing and what it can and can't tell you about the genetic make-up of dogs and wolves. </li>

Learn about the new sport for dogs, Treibball. Jan Nijboer, whose herding dogs seemed to often thirst for more "work" to do, introduces you to a game that is a fun mixture of soccer and herding trial in which dogs are trained to at a distance to drive a set of balls into a goal. More than just a game however, Treibball involves teaching your dog a variety of complex behaviors and builds teamwork between you and your dog. This one hour DVD is not a step-by-step how-to-train instructional DVD, but rather a great introduction on how the sport of Treibball works and the importance of developing directional control skills in the dog that are necessary to compete. For more information on where competitions are being held in the US, check out the American Treibball Association online.
