Predation Substitute Training

Is your dog's favorite activity hunting? Enhance your bond and enjoyment by engaging in this natural instinct together!

Do you struggle with recall on walks, as your dog chases squirrels? Frustrated by your dog ignoring you when cats are present? Worried that your dog's high prey drive is hindering your training efforts?

Traditional dog training methods often suppress your dog's natural predatory behaviors through punishment or constant redirection. These restrictive approaches can be counterproductive, working against your dog's inherent desires – to hunt!

Prey drive is a fundamental, deeply ingrained need that brings your dog joy. Suppressing this instinct is like containing a powerful force. Without a healthy outlet, it can lead to unwanted behaviors.

Instead of fighting your dog's natural instincts, why not harness their motivation to improve training and strengthen your relationship?

Predation Substitute Training (PST) is a motivation-based training program designed to effectively stop uncontrolled predatory chasing and provide safe, constructive outlets for your dog's natural drive.

Here's how to stop unwanted chasing and achieve real results with PST:

• Prevention: Structure your dog walks strategically to minimize triggering situations and set them up for success.
• Predation Substitute Tools: Learn to use tools that help your dog manage their chase urges in a healthy and controlled way.
• Predation Substitute Games: Discover engaging games that allow your dog to express their predatory energy safely.
• Safety Net: Establish a reliable "emergency cue" to immediately interrupt any uncontrolled chasing behavior.

PST shifts the focus from punishment to positive reinforcement, fostering a stronger partnership and allowing you to enjoy hunting together with your dog! This training system helps you build a better team and enjoy the thrill of the chase responsibly.
