Service Description

Does your dog have a strong instinct to chase rabbits, birds, or other animals? While this behavior is perfectly natural, it can sometimes create challenges in day-to-day life. That’s where Predation Substitute Training steps in, offering a compassionate and structured way to redirect those instincts. Only available in my Main Service Area - if you are outside of my Main Service Area, you are welcome to travel here, as all training will be outside in parks & on trails. Using the highly effective Simone Mueller method, this customized course helps your dog channel their predatory drive into positive, controlled behaviors. The course is tailored to your dog’s needs and progresses at their pace, ensuring an stress-free experience. If a dog requires extra time to master a step or the paw-rent has limited time for training, the program is designed to adapt to these realities, making it highly flexible for both. The first meeting will be online to set the basics and requirements, followed by 4 in person lessons. After that you have mastered the basics and can book more practice sessions, if needed. Key benefits of Predation Substitute Training: • Redirect natural instincts: Your dog will learn to replace chasing with structured, safe activities that engage their drive. • Strengthen the dog-human bond: By becoming your dog’s “hunting partner,” you’ll transform from being seen as an annoying obstacle to an essential part of the adventure. This teamwork fosters trust and builds a closer relationship. • Enhance focus and responsiveness: Your dog will develop better control and concentration, even in highly stimulating environments. • Ensure safety: This training minimizes risky situations by teaching your dog to respond reliably to cues. • Provide mental stimulation: Predation Substitute Training offers an enriching and fulfilling outlet for your dog’s natural instincts. This program is rooted in reward-based methods that focus on positive reinforcement and understanding your dog’s unique personality and needs. Together, we’ll create a structured plan to ensure success, whether you have a high-prey-drive hunting breed or an adventurous dog who loves the thrill of the chase.
