I've got a Blue Heeler mix with all "Lets F'n GO!!! energy I could ever imagine. Ultra lovable, ultra loyal, but when it's time to hit the streets, absolute intensity. Walking was sometimes great and sometimes an absolute chore. He's an amazing dog but I just couldn't seem to get him to walk well with other methods I was trying . He either wanted to run or sniff with zero in between. The book is simple, direct, to the point, and most importantly effective. I felt like we had a great connection except in this one area. A couple of weeks in and we're both having so much more fun. I feel like the other methods I tried he just didn't understand at all that lead to me being frustrated and him choking himself sometimes and the book did a good job explaining why he just wasn't built for the styles of communication I was trying. He still has a ways to go, and I'm in a neighborhood filled with barking dogs, rabbits, and squirrels everywhere, so it's like walking from a relaxing home into the Fourth of July 10 feet down the sidewalk everyday, but we're doing SO MUCH better. It feels great making that better bond with him and really we made a lot of initial progress very quickly. I felt pretty guilty in hindsight I was trying to take what was supposedly sound advice but to him I was just erratic and incomprehensible. Anyway, it's a great, clear, simple book, and if you just do the work, you and your dog will be happier, if like me you've struggled a year or more, I say it's worth the money.

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!
