This book and the ideas put forward really helped me better understand my dog. I have been struggling to understand and manage her prey drive and each time I think I have cracked the code - she takes off on one of her adventures. The day before I bought this book I had randomly stopped on a walk and allowed my dog to watch a herd of elk from a distance. I noticed afterwards that she had walked so much better and was more relaxed - this makes total sense after reading this book and I look forward to exploring the approach and techniques suggested.

About the Author
Hi, I'm Simone!
I'm so glad that you are here!
I am a certified dog trainer, dog behaviour consultant and specialist for high prey-drive dogs.
In this book, I share my years of experience as a trainer of dogs that love to chase wildlife.
With this force-free training protocol, you can look forward to learning how to successfully manage your dog's hunting behaviour.
I love supporting high prey-drive dogs and dog guardians across the world to grow together as a team.
Predation Substitute Training
For dogs that love to chase wildlife
Every dog has an instinctive need to hunt. Most training methods that aim to control predatory behaviour use force and punishment to work against a dog’s hunting desires. The result: your relationship with your dog suffers and you become a spoilsport!
But it doesn’t have to be this way! You can also use your dog's natural predatory instinct to strengthen your relationship and boost the success of your training.
Predation Substitution Training is a need-orientated training protocol that encourages you to harness your dog's natural hunting instinct in a fun and enjoyable way to allow you to successfully manage it safely.
Start your training like a pro - with more fun!
- Mutual Understanding: Learn what motivates your dog.
- Force-Free Training: Utilise your dog's natural predatory urges!
- Have Fun Together: Get to know fun and effective training games!
- Teach An Emergency Cue: Reliably interrupt dangerous situations without punishment.
Build a stronger bond
Predation Substitute Training allows you to build up a deep trust between you and your dog through play. Instead of punishing them when they show undesirable behaviour, you can experience individual parts of the hunting sequence together with your dog. Shared emotions lead to a stronger bond.
Use game-based training methods
Training should be fun for you and your dog! The Predation Substitute Training I have introduced is based on your dog's predatory motivation: You use their natural urges to hunt and turn this into a game with you. The training will be fun for both of you!
Communicate effectively
Communication with your dog is crucial for effective training. With game-based Predation Substitute Training, you will improve communication with your dog and refine the language you share. This will also help you with further training in other areas too!
What others say
- Excellent! Definitely worth reading - there's nothing like it available for the guardian of a chasey dog.
- Absolutely fantastic book. So well detailed and easy to read. The author has clearly put a lot of work into this. Highly recommended for Pros and Owners alike!
- This book was full of great information and a must read for any dog owner who has a prey drive dog. I've loved playing the games with my dogs and have seen a vast improvement in their behaviour already!

About the author
Amazing results
Young AE Coonhound Mt. Cur rescue. High prey drive. Living in a suburb. She was extremely leash reactive to wildlife. Now I get lots of compliments about how well behaved she is as squirrels jump all around us. I knew I had to do something when this dog grabbed and killed a bird while on a 6 ft lead in the middle of downtown. I read the book and watched videos. Put the steps in practice for a few months before writing this review. This method works ! I will be reading the rest of the books in the series.

I’m a certified trainer and this book has helped me and my husky/shepherd enjoy our hunting sessions together. She gets it and I get her! So much more fun than punishing the hunt out of her. Absolutely love and recommend this approach. Thank you Simone!
