I will admit it I wanted a quick fix on my dog’s intense prey drive. But alas if I take a deep breath and practice the techniques this program offers, slowly but surely her behavior is changing.
Patience and repetition are a must.
Thank you
We have a cat and my dog wants to eat it. We are only a few weeks in on training my dog, but it is already working. I really like that this program focuses on positive reinforcement and my dog, who is five, really is doing well. (Yes,!they can learn new tricks). We still have a ways to go, but at least I think I will be able to get my dog to a place where she doesn’t eat the cat or pull my arm off when she sees a rabbit on a walk. I think this program is really good!!!!
We have found the explanations and instructions in this easy to follow guide to be very effective in managing the somewhat hysterical prey drive in our very cute little rescue spaniel. It is so well put together and we also very much appreciate the large type! Combined with the very entertaining and instructive videos on YouTube, I can’t say enough good things about Happy Hounds! Thank you so much for producing these materials!
I have only recently purchased this course and look forward to putting it into practice everyday. I had started working on my springer spaniels prey drive already and with the help of the step by step lessons, we will make great progress. At the moment I can only let my dog off lead or long line in secure fields. His recall is coming along slowly. As they say, you can only work at the pace your dog is ready for. I'm in it for the long haul, it will take patients, training and kindness. And probably wine!
This guide overlapped its companion YouTube video to a noticeable degree. It was still very useful though because it was we'll written, well organized and easy to reference and understand. The guide also offered a good and interesting discussion of the prey drive and how it works.
