Address unwanted dog behaviors through desensitization, counter-conditioning, and management. Covers reactivity (to dogs, people, sounds), separation anxiety, resource guarding, excessive barking, and leash pulling using force-free methods with systematic threshold management.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Behavioral Modification Address unwanted dog behaviors through desensitization, counter-conditioning, and environmental management. ## When to Use - A dog shows reactivity (lunging, barking, growling) toward other dogs, people, or stimuli - Separation anxiety manifests as destructive behavior, vocalization, or house soiling when left alone - Resource guarding: the dog stiffens, growls, or snaps when approached while eating or holding an object - Excessive barking, jumping, pulling on leash, or other behaviors that interfere with daily life - After basic obedience is established — behavioral modification builds on foundation commands ## Inputs - **Required**: A specific unwanted behavior to address (not "the dog is bad" but "the dog lunges at other dogs on leash") - **Required**: The dog's threshold distance or trigger level (how close/intense before the behavior starts) - **Optional**: History of the behavior (when it started, what triggers it, what makes it worse) - **Optional**: High-value treats that the dog will eat even when mildly stressed - **Optional**: Veterinary clearance (rule out pain or medical causes for behavior changes) ## Procedure …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/behavioral-modification@sha256:548d22c5b475f4d4The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
