Can you really stop a dog from chasing deer or anything else without an e-collar? Yes, and I’m sharing how. There’s an ongoing commentary that it's impossible to train certain dogs, especially those with high prey drive, to come when called using only reinforcement-based methods. Now, those of us who are reinforcement-based trainers know that it's absolutely possible. The secret lies in understanding the Canine Predatory Motor Sequence. Rather than trying to stop dogs at the end of the sequence when it's way too late, we focus on the early stages and what we want our dogs to do.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• Why some say reinforcement-based training alone can’t stop high prey drive dogs.
• How the canine predatory motor sequence works and why it matters for your dog’s behavior
• Why suppressing behavior isn’t training, and what I do instead.
• The three common ways people deal with behavior problems and which one really works.
• How I use predatory redirection to interrupt chase drive.
• A real-life example of Prophet ignoring deer just 15 feet away.
• How we changed Tater Salad’s behavior using relationship-building games.
• Special opportunity to join my Home School the Dog program.
• Why head halters can act like emergency brakes when you need them.
• How I redirect Kim’s rescue dog Waffles from distractions to focus back to me and what you can take away from it.
