Prey drive

And you just can't get their attention.

And it's just like their prey drive is switched on.

Simone, I'm so happy to have you here.

Hi, Corinne.

Yeah, exactly.

So PST basically means predation substitute training.

And what I mean here is that we try to work with your dog's prey drive.

So instead of suppressing a very natural behavior that our dogs love to show and that is so important for our dogs, instead of just suppressing it and saying, no, you cannot do that.

Now, maybe at the end of the chase, he wouldn't do anything.

Maybe he is just into the prey drive part of the chase.

But most bullies chase to bite, just like, uh, any other terrier.

Um, a lot of dachshunds too, like a l- uh, schnauzers, a lot of these, Jack Russell terriers-

Now, I want my dog to pay attention to me when I'm on a walk, but it sees a squirrel and it goes crazy.

Yeah, it's a dog's prey drive.

Now, how do we build prey drive? Now, if I wanted to build drive in a dog, I'm going to make them chase something.

Yeah.

Right.
