    Description

    Take one person, add one dog, and you get a third entity: the relationship between the person and the dog. Successful and humane training needs to include the relationship as the dynamic ground on which skills, behavior changes and improvements can take root.

    Watch this previously recorded webinar for an introduction to RAT™: Relationship Assessment Tool. Developed by Suzanne Clothier, RAT™ provides a new perspective on understanding of the dog/human relationship.

    RAT™ can be used to:

    • Assess what is contributing to behavior, training and/or performance challenges
    • Identifying the strengths & weaknesses of the relationship
    • Assess suitability for a purpose, such as therapy dog team, AAI/AAT
    • Assess for best match adoptions or placements
    • Identify handler skills (ideal for training staff & volunteers)
    • Track changes and improvements over time

    In each relationship, the handler brings his/her habits, personalities, needs and style to interact with the dog, who also brings his/her own personality, patterns of response, needs and style. With an emphasis on patterns of behaviors found on both ends of the leash, RAT is a powerful tool for assessing the dynamics of the dog/human relationship.

    For those who work with training issues and behavior problems, RAT™ clearly identifies the strengths and weaknesses of any dog/handler team. Practical and effective, RAT™ leads to Training Triage & Plan for a customized approach that addresses & supports the specific needs of that dog/handler relationship.
