Season 2: Episode #2: "Predation" w/ Simone Mueller
Today's Topic: Do you have a dog that just LIVES to hunt? And do those hunting behaviors, whether it's orienting, stalking, chasing, and even killing and eating, get in the way of how you would like to live your day-to-day life with your dog? That's why we've invited certified dog trainer, dog behavior consultant, and the author of two books on force-free anti-predation training, “Hunting Together” and “Rocket Recall”, Simone Mueller, to the pod, to discuss why it's so hard to get our dog's attention when they're in hunting mode, why striving to get rid of the predatory instinct can cause more harm than good, how to work with your dog's predatory instincts instead of against it, why showing interest in your dog's hunting behaviors can build your bond, and so much more!
