Dogs with a Strong Prey Drive
Is your dog’s prey drive... driving you nuts?
Does your dog obsess over squirrels, rabbits, or birds on every walk?
Our equipment for dogs with a strong prey drive helps you maintain control while you work to channel their instincts into safe & rewarding outlets.
Scent - Stalk - Chase - Grab - Kill - Dissect - Consume
A high prey drive dog may love one or all parts of the predatory sequence. Rather than trying to train the drive out of them, let’s work with it using the right tools.
We know what it’s like to tense up on the leash every time you see a squirrel or rabbit dart across the sidewalk. You're not alone, and your dog's intense drive doesn't make them a "bad dog" – it makes them exceptional!
You deserve equipment that gives you confidence, keeps your dog safe, and makes walks more fun for both of you.
With the right equipment:
-
A leash belt helps you provide an anchor to your dogs pulling, instead of taking all of the impact on your hands.
-
Long lines and drag lines let your dog enjoy more sniffing and tracking while staying secure.
-
Chasing toys instead of critters can help them learn self control as well as participate in the fun and safe parts of the predatory behavior pattern.
Picture your next walk: Your dog freezes, they've caught sight of a rabbit on your early morning walk. You have the time, so you let them stalk a little closer. Instead of chasing, they look back at you, anticipating their reward for not losing control. Once the rabbit moves on, you cue your dog to explore the scent, then you both move on with your walk, happy with wagging tails.
