RAT™ is a rapid assessment tool that provides clear information about each relationship. Whoever they may be, in every relationship the handler brings his or her habits, personalities, needs and style to interact with the dog, who also brings his own personality, patterns of response, needs and style. We need to work with the whole package.
RAT™ clearly identifies the strengths and weaknesses of any dog/handler team. Training Triage helps you prioritize and develop a sensible, targeted training plan for improving and strengthening the relationship. Put your training time, energy and resources into addressing the actual issues, not following a one-size-fits-all training plan. RAT™ is a must-have tool that streamlines your training so that you can be as effective, humane and customized as possible.
Grounded in detailed observations, RAT™ can be used for initial assessment as well as for monitoring progress over time or situations. RAT™ can be done in almost any setting to gather critical information about the dog/handler team.
RAT™ is ideal for trainers, instructors, shelter workers, rescue groups, veterinarians, vet techs, breeders, service dog trainers, AAI/AAT and anyone interested in understanding and enhancing the dog/human relationship.
