Struggling with your dogs prey drive?

This comprehensive program will teach you the EXACT method that I used with my dog & have since taught to many clients (terriers, sight hounds, and more) to STOP animal chasing. 

The training process is broken down step-by-step so that it’s easy to follow with your dog. If you’re a visual learner, there are diagrams included for each phase of the process!

What's included? 43 page PDF and linked video demonstrations that explains everything you need to know to solve unwanted animal chasing (outdoors & indoors). Upon purchase you will receive an email with a downloadable link to a PDF version of guide.

Expectations:

This program won’t give you an overnight fix. We’re working on instincts that are bred into our dogs’ genetics. Training takes effort and consistency, but it’s also really fun. And better yet, you’ll find that prey drive training becomes a bonding experience with your dog. My own dog still stops to look at squirrels or anything that moves, but now rather than chasing, she looks back at me almost as if she's saying “Are you seeing this too?!”. I’m excited to help you get to that point with your dog too!

Early days

I have only recently purchased this course and look forward to putting it into practice everyday. I had started working on my springer spaniels prey drive already and with the help of the step by step lessons, we will make great progress. At the moment I can only let my dog off lead or long line in secure fields. His recall is coming along slowly. As they say, you can only work at the pace your dog is ready for. I'm in it for the long haul, it will take patients, training and kindness. And probably wine!

Clear and informative

This guide overlapped its companion YouTube video to a noticeable degree. It was still very useful though because it was we'll written, well organized and easy to reference and understand. The guide also offered a good and interesting discussion of the prey drive and how it works.

Really useful

Firstly, thank you Stephanie, for making this so affordable. It is an excellent resource, I am going back to basics with my two dogs (one pure bred cocker spaniel, the other a bedlington cross) both with really high prey drive. I have let them slip into bad habits, and only fully realised this the other day when we were camping in Wales. I took them out for their final toilet break before bed (it was dark) and they caught the scent of the many, many rabbits around the edge of the campsite. I was pulled into the hedge and ended up on my backside in a bramble thicket. Very painful!! They are already responding really well to the leave it command, and the course is structured so that you only progress when the dogs are ready, so really, you can't go wrong. Highly recommend.

Excellent Prey Drive Help

This saved my sanity. I was already recalling at the point I spotted my high prey drive dog catch a scent and this worked for years. She was off-lead and never failed. I believed that was all I could do kindly and positively. I qualified as a trainer (UK) just a year ago, so getting a good recall and engagement, game playing and pay attention to what your dog is doing was as far as I was taught. (I wasn't going to ever do positive punishment method like scary noises) Cue, accidently falling in love with a second rescue, who has the same excitement and drive as the first. A fox ran out, literally brushing past us, dog number one ignored the recall and dog number two was at the end of his line screeching away! However, this set dog number one on her old path, as she started scenting as soon as we'd enter the field. I am so grateful to have found this, as other trainers were suggesting methods I will not use and "there's no cure unless you punish" So I just went back to the start, and both dogs are already engaging. I wasn't satisfying the drive at the right time, I recalled without the "leave it" and just used "let's go" to move away. But this has given me a much better insight than trainer-training did. It is set out perfectly, easy to follow and reminds you to go back a step if needed and not to rush. I am beyond grateful. Dog one has remembered I don't want chasing and I've invested in a toy she can "kill" instead, she likes this on a line so that she can chase me. Dog two loves the word "YES" so much now, I dare not use it unintentionally.... and his "LEAVE IT" is awesome already. I trust neither of them just yet, we have some way to go, but the difference this method made really fast is awesome! I've learned so much. Thank you for this. I intend these two, to be the proof that positive methods do work. Just for info: she didn't catch the fox!

Thank you for making this available. We have been working hard with it. I think it is sinking in.
