What is Drive? In Episode 52 we talked a lot about drive, but never really defined it.  Drive can look very different between dogs.  Often we talk about drive in reference to prey and food, but drive can show up in a variety of forms such as people drive, owner drive, etc.  Even drive within the same area can look really different.  For example Heather has three dogs with food drive, but how that motivates and presents with each dog looks different.  We also talk through how different motivations or drives can produce the same behavior.  Trin and Jaxon both love the sport of Fast Cat, however Trin is motivated by prey drive while Jaxon is motivated by the chase itself.  Understanding what drives your dog can help build drive in areas you want and make life easier by allowing you to channel your dog's drive appropriately.
