Find out why you need RAT: Relationship Assessment Tool!

Join Suzanne in a FREE Q&A session as she answers your questions about RAT.

What is RAT?

If you are involved in helping people and dogs find their best relationship, RAT™ is a must-have tool that streamlines your training so that you can be as effective, humane and customized as possible. 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.

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.

How can RAT help?

  • The dynamics of relationship are your guide to effective training. RAT shows you what that dog and that handler need!
  • Identifying strengths and weaknesses in a relationship points the way to customized training plans.
  • The RAT scoresheet provides clear information for the client, and supports the rationale behind your training plans.
  • Make the match! Is this dog right for this handler? Is this handler or lifestyle right for this dog? RAT is an ideal suitability assessment.
  • Track progress through changes in the RAT scoresheet, provide excellent feedback for clients.

RAT™ provides a clear structure for helping you see whether a dog and human are aligned, or if their individual patterns of behavior are creating challenges or even conflict.

Put your training time, energy and resources into addressing the actual issues, not following a one-size-fits-all training plan.
