Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In BAT 2.0, the focus is to empower the dog to approach his trigger on his own with his caretaker playing a more supportive role, intervening only when necessary to keep the dog working below his threshold level. The new techniques are less stressful for the student dog, help promote good choices on the part of the dog, and focuses on BAT set-ups which arrange a safe environment so that the desired behavior can occur and be reinforced naturally.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"BAT 2.0 builds resilience and self-reliance by giving dogs safe opportunities to learn about people, dogs, or other triggers. Clear enough for all readers to follow, this book also includes technical tips and bonus chapters just for dog behavior professionals"--Amazon.com.
