Hunting Together: Harnessing Predatory Chasing in Family Dogs through Motivation-Based Training (Predation Substitute Training)

Do you wish your dog would listen to you on walks, rather than running after squirrels? Tired of getting left in the dust if a cat shows up nearby? Concerned that your dogs prey drive is coming between the two of you? Conventional training protocols stifle your dogs natural predatory behaviours through punishing or constantly forcing them to return. These restrictive protocols work against your dogs nature and against what they want most: to go for a hunt! Predation is an inner need that makes your dog happy. Suppressing those natural urges is like putting an airtight lid on a boiling pot. Eventually, that pressure needs to escape, and without a proper outlet, its probably going to get messy. Wouldnt you rather use your dogs predation motivation to improve your training and even grow your relationship with your dog? Predation Substitute Training (PST) is a motivation-based and need-oriented training program, designed to stop uncontrolled predatory chasing and to provide safe outlets for your dogs natural drive. Instead of making discipline the nagging factor that spoils the fun, this training system will help you grow as a team and go hunting together! In this training program, youll learn: What is predation? Why does your dog love to hunt? Why is predatory behaviour so hard to interrupt?
