Salina Behavior Modification

Is your dog's challenging behavior upsetting the balance in your household?

Behavior problems take the joy out of having a dog. It's frustrating, exhausting and embarrassing. It is easy to get discouraged with your dog's misbehavior. The good news is that depending on how self-rewarding the unwanted behavior has been to your dog, most of the time it can be solved through patience, consistency and TRAINING.

Learning stops when fear or reactivity starts. This is why many dogs are not successful in a group class setting or struggle with daily activities like meeting people or dogs on walks. If your dog is one of these, MuttSchool has developed our behavior modification program for dogs with behaviors such as hyper-arousal, separation anxiety, fear, aggression, reactivity or obsessive-compulsive behaviors.

Change for these dogs does not happen overnight or in a few training sessions. These dogs have practiced these behaviors over and over and have been rewarded (even if they have been self-rewarding). It does take a commitment to make a change in the dog's behavior. It is well worth it. Our results with this program have been life-changing for dogs and their families.

MuttSchool offers programs for dogs exhibiting behaviors that are difficult to live with.

Your dog may qualify for our behavior modification program if your dog:

Has a bite history of either people or other animals
Barks, snarks, or snarls when in close proximity to people or other dogs.
Is shy of new people or situations
Is easy overstimulated or excited by new situations
Is destructive when left alone or harms himself trying to escape from a crate

Do you have questions on where to start? Set up an evaluation and our professional trainers will develop a training plan for your dog.

Together, we can make positive changes in your dog's behavior.

MuttSchool's behavior modification program offers:

Real life application

A behavior modification program is only good if it works in real life. We take the training and apply it to every day scenarios.

Behavioral counseling
Your dog lives with you. As much as many of our clients would like, we can't move in with you. Behavioral counseling gives you the tools to manage your dog's specific behavior problem at home.

Relationship-based training
MuttSchool's behavior consultants have chosen not to use aversive training methods in our behavior modification programs after seeing the detrimental effects it has on animals.

Continuing support

Training doesn't stop at the end of this program. We offer continuing support as you and your dog need it.

Behavior Modification Programs

After a behavior evaluation, you will have your instructor's recommendations on launching your dog's behavioral training. You can sign up for packages of private lessons below. These can be held at your home (travel fee may apply), MuttSchool, a park or other agreed on location.

Temperament Challenges –
Recurring 6 month membership

Recurring lessons are a great way to make sure you maintain the consistency required to change behavior. Studies show it generally takes 60+ days for a new behavior to become automatic but it takes over 6 months of repetition for it to become permanent. This is why this recurring program is so important. To be successful in modifying challenging behaviors, time is a necessity. This program is good for dogs with:

Fear, Anxiety or Stress
Aggression towards people
Excessive Barking
Reactivity (lunging and barking)
Fighting with other dogs
Hyperactivity
Hyperarousal
Hyperfocus
Rough play with growls
Over-protectiveness
Resource guarding
