(BAT) Instructor's Course 2013, 1 - 5 June, Leamington Spa

The course is not compulsory to apply for full certification but is highly recommended.


The course is limited to 10 student participants (full participation) and 10 student attendees (observation only)


Each student participant will work with fear aggressive and/or lead frustrated dogs and their handlers, practice BAT in a group setting, analyse video clips of course BAT sessions, and participate in problem-solving sessions. Participants will lead dog and handler teams, as well as coach other trainers.

Attendees will be taking part in analyses, problem-solving sessions and discussions, but will be observing practical demonstrations only.

All participants and attendees will receive a Certificate of Attendance.
