Class is back in session at MuttSchool Salina! Join us for our next round of Group Classes starting September 12, 2024!

1—First Grade kicks off at 5:30 p.m. with a fun 7-week adventure designed to teach your dog foundational behaviors like sit, stay, down, recall, loose leash walking, and polite greetings. The first class is an orientation for you (no dogs for orientation) to prepare you for success.

2&3—Second & Third Grade are combined into an exciting 6-week course, starting at 6:30 p.m. This is where your dog will build on their skills learned in the previous grade level and tackle new challenges!

• Classes are held at:

• Don’t wait—enroll today at: https://portal.busypaws.app/customers/muttschool?custom_service_category_id=222

Please note: Your dog should be able to stay focused and engaged with you during class without being overly reactive (whining, barking, and lunging at other dogs). Our priority is your dog’s success, so if group classes aren’t the right fit, we’re happy to find a service that better suits their needs.

Is mealtime with your dog a bit chaotic? Here's a tip to help with all that waiting:

When lowering the food bowl, if your dog moves toward it, lift it back up and wait for them to sit. Slowly lower the bowl again, and if they move, raise it quickly. With a bit of patience, your dog will soon sit and wait before the food even hits the bowl. Remember to use a release cue like "break" after placing the bowl on the floor, letting them know they've waited long enough and it's time to eat!

Speaking of waiting, at MuttSchool, you don’t have to! Our Sunday afternoon group classes for puppies and grades 1-3 are open enrollment. This means you can start training without waiting for a new session's start date!

Complete six consecutive weeks of class to earn a special graduation ribbon and a 10% off coupon for the next level. Let's make mealtime (and everything else) a breeze—no waiting required!

Please Note: To enroll in a group class, your dog should be able to stay focused and engaged with you without being

disruptive to the class or overly reactive (whining, barking, and lunging at other dogs). The dogs in class should not have a bite history with people or other animals. Our priority is your dog’s success, so if group classes aren’t the right fit, we’re happy to find a service that better suits your dog’s needs.

MuttSchool needs towels—the dogs have been having summer fun with their splashy pool time and duck diving, and our current supply isn't enough! If you've got any old towels taking up space in your closet, we'd love to give them a new home.

Plus, donating towels = wagging, happy tails!

Please drop towels off in the box marked "towels" in our entry. Thank you in advance for sparing us the soggy doggy blues!

Choosing a dog trainer can be confusing. Sometimes, finding one feels like asking a chef to rewire your house—they might excel at making a perfect soufflé, but without the right knowledge and tools to do electrical work, the results could be disastrous.

Just as you wouldn’t risk faulty wiring in your home, don’t settle for less in dog training.

At MuttSchool, we build trust and understanding without using training equipment that imparts pain, fear, or intimidation. We choose methods that foster a healthy, respectful relationship between you and your dog. And we're in good company! Animal Behaviorists, Psychologists, Animal Welfare Experts, and Veterinarians agree that these methods are the best way to train a happy, healthy dog.

When you choose MuttSchool, you're choosing CPDT-certified trainers who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to provide a quality, relationship-based, SHOCK-free experience.

What fuels a dog trainer's passion? Beyond the joy of helping our clients and their dogs, it’s the thrill of showcasing our hard work in the show ring!

On Friday, August 23, many of our dedicated trainers are seizing that chance by heading to Topeka for the dog show! Opportunities like this don’t come around often enough, so we couldn’t resist the call of the ring.

Because of this, DaySchool will have limited availability that day, and our membership regulars have already filled all the slots. But don’t worry—we’ll be back on Monday, bringing fresh inspiration, ribbons, titles, and excitement from the show!

Brain Games Day at Muttschool!
These mentally stimulating puzzles are one of our favorite enrichment activities! Brain Games Day is not just a challenge for our dogs, but also a great way to keep them relaxed and engaged. These activities help sharpen their minds while giving them a satisfying mental workout. 🐕💡

Enrichment is crucial for dogs because it addresses their physical, mental, and emotional needs. It helps prevent boredom, reduces behavioral problems, and promotes overall well-being. Engaging activities and challenges stimulate a dog's mind, mimic natural behaviors, and provide a sense of purpose, leading to a more balanced and content pet. At DaySchool we incorporate different enrichment each day into our training!

The Dog Olympics Paws Up Pentathlon was a true display of agility and paw power! Oh Yeah, our Great Dane with her impressively large paws, took home the gold with an unbeatable time of 44 seconds. Jadzia snagged the silver, showing that even with her 6-month-old puppy paws, she could compete with the best. Rango rounded out the podium with the bronze, using his boxer paws to their full potential. Kudos to all our furry competitors—who knew putting paws on 5 different objects could be such a nail-biting sport?

The Dog Olympics Recall Relay was a tail-wagging success! Congrats to Nala for fetching the gold with her lightning-fast recall! Hozmer came in a close second, but his decision to grab his leash mid-race cost him a split second—who knew accessorizing could be such a game-changer? And let’s not forget Oh Yeah, who snagged the bronze with her impressive performance. Great job to all our four-legged athletes—next time around we’ll see if a “leash-less” strategy can make a difference!
