Beyond the Bite:
Addressing Aggression for Lasting Results
A 4-Day In-Person Seminar
for Dog Owners and Trainers
Learn how to stop chasing symptoms and triggers and make real changes from the inside out!
Do You Feel Trapped By Your Dog's Aggression?
Are you...
- Constantly worrying about potential bites, injuries, or dangerous incidents involving people or other animals - inside or outside of your home?
- Struggling to find someone who truly understands aggression cases AND knows how to resolve them?
- Depressed - because you can’t imagine another 10 years of living like this?
- Exhausted from adjusting your daily routines and long-term plans (goodbye travel and vacations!) because no one else can manage your dog or keep them safe?
- Frustrated by the expensive training or board and trains that didn't work or only worked a bit?
- Struggling with overwhelming feelings of stress, guilt, shame, or hopelessness - all while dealing with judgment from others?
- Avoiding social situations, outdoor activities, or having guests over due to fear of the dog’s behavior?
Or are you a shelter or rescue worker who comes into contact with a number of dogs who you know have so much potential but for their aggression?
Or are you a professional trainer who wishes you could do more to help the aggressive dogs you work with - and make more changes more easily than you are able to now?
You are not alone. And there's hope.
Imagine your dog living free of fear, anxiety, and aggression... and being the dog you had always hoped they'd be...
Whether you're a dog owner feeling overwhelmed or a trainer eager to help your clients' dogs thrive, this seminar is the life-changing solution you’ve been searching for.
Join us for an immersive, in-person experience designed to give you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to address your dog’s aggression at its root.
Over four transformative days, you'll learn to go beyond traditional training and create lasting emotional and behavioral changes.
Through TBTE, we focus on changing how dogs perceive and feel about the world, helping them move beyond aggression rather than just managing their behavior and environment.
We believe dogs with aggression issues can lead significantly better lives, and almost any pet owner can successfully navigate this process with the right guidance.
This is NOT just another dog trainer seminar. This is a complete paradigm shift in understanding and addressing canine aggression.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is included in the 4 days?
We promise to take good care of you! We have coffee, snacks, and lunch included every day.
(While we try to have salads and other things that would work for a health-conscious person, we can't guarantee that we'll have something that will work for every special diet. If you are on a special diet, feel free to bring food that works for you. We have a fridge and microwave that you are welcome to use.)
What are the hours of the event?
The hours are 10am - approximately 6pm every day.
What about dogs?
Our training space is small so there isn't space to keep dogs inside during the event. So, any dog who attends would need to be kept in your car when we are not working with them. Therefore, dogs who come to the event should be comfortably crated in your car.
Also, as much as we try to do something with each dog who attends, not every dog is suited for every technique or everything we are trying to demonstrate. Because of that, we may not be able to work with every dog who attends.
IF YOU PLAN ON BRINGING A DOG: Please email us at help@trainingbetweentheears.com
Do I need to bring a chair?
No, we have plenty of comfortable seating. We just recommend bringing some layers of clothing in case you tend to get cold. The event will be held inside our finished barn and outside.
What people are saying...
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".

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.
