TBTE is designed for both dog owners and professional trainers - here's some reviews:

Holy cow, would you believe it. Not a single bark or boof. We start slow and walk to the park down the street, chill and hang out for a bit. We watched kids play, a yoga session, and passed a couple of dogs. Then we relaxed in the yard. Their reactivity was improving so much, seeing more calm behavior. Really “melting our mountain” down so to speak 😉

I was gone all weekend so I had 30 minutes to make an attempt. My GSD came from a long line of IPO3 K9s. He was absolutely nuts 1 year ago. I began going to a trainer in June of 2020 and I worked and worked and worked. Rocco is very leash reactive to other dogs but he’s come a long way from the days where he attacked me. My trainer had me put him in a down and practice often. This is the first time I did it without giving a command. I’m 10 minutes in and .....

Results of TBTE: this guy is relaxing during a thunderstorm! Until the last few months, this guy wasn't bothered by thunderstorms AT ALL. Definitely perplexed as to this change in behavior/ new sensitivity at age 6, but one of the beauties of TBTE is that the "why" doesn't impact the "how to fix it".

We have used the TBTE relaxation triad and Naming and Explaining his environment to help him feel better about his triggers.
In the video I sent his mom, the neighbor, a man with a cowboy hat on a lawn mower, is coming very close to the fence line and Murphy is taking it in stride! Previously, Murphy saw a neighbor and expected bad things to happen, triggering his reactivity. Now, Murphy sees a neighbor and expects GOOD things to happen!!

Big mile mark today in training! There's 2 large dogs that live a street over from us - Moose has always been very reactive towards them. They are amazing and well behaved, and basically show no interest in us past a quick glance. Today we rounded a corner when walking and the dogs were quite close; while Moose was super interested in them, I was able to use some TBTE techniques to curb his reactivity. He pulled a little, whined a little, but ultimately we were able to turn around and pop down a side street to give us some extra distance while the dogs passed by. We had no barking despite his interest in them. His feelings about other dogs are changing. Not only did we get through this major trigger, but he was able to continue our walk with minimal upset (previously i would have had to turn around and get us back home or he would have been so would up he would have reacted to everything on the rest of the walk). So grateful for this training program and how it has changed our lives! Reactivity is HARD, this approach has made it so much easier to work with.

We had our first session about a week ago. Today, when I got home, he was voluntarily LAYING down in his crate, relaxed & calmly waiting for me to open the door! This guy is always a loaded bottle rocket when I get home (barks & frantically circles in the crate until I get the door open & then shoots out like a bucking bronco), he has NEVER laid down & calmly waiting for me to let him out. I actually finally feel like I am doing something to truly HELP this sweet dog now instead of just trying to manage his problems.

Training Between The Ears is amazing.  We got Vinnie almost 4 years ago and for the first year no one could touch him.  This training has taught both he and I to understand each other, the things around him, and how to make HIS life better.  Vinnie now comes to my shop and greets my customers daily with a toy, accepts physical touch and attention, and even wags his nub till it may fall off.  It definitely takes work and commitment to the program, but results are life changing for Vinnie and I!
