Grisha Stewart, MA, CPDT-KA, CTP

Grisha Stewart specializes in dog aggression in Seattle. Her six-trainer facility, Ahimsa Dog Training, has a range of classes, including Growly Dog and over a dozen weekly puppy classes, and has been voted Best of Western Washington. "Ahimsa" is a Buddhist doctrine of nonviolence to all living things, which reflects Grisha's focus on force-free methods to promote the well-being of dogs and their humans.

Grisha has a Master's in Mathematics from Bryn Mawr College and is now pursuing a Master's in psychology with an emphasis in animal behavior, while still running her business and providing private consults for aggression cases. Her first career as a theoretical mathematician serves her well in dog training and behavior consultations, because she relies heavily on the problem solving and critical thinking skills she gained in that field. She has always been an educator, but since founding Ahimsa Dog Training she has found her canine and human students to be much more excited about learning than her college students!

Animal behavior, particularly dogs, fascinate Grisha and she is a big fan of continuous process improvement. This led her to develop Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT), an operant counter-conditioning method for problem behaviors, with protocols for fear and aggression.
