Shownotes
Dogs are predators who often see cats as prey. How can we help them live peacefully together? What is prey drive anyway?
There's all of this and so much more in this chat with Simone Mueller, world-renowned trainer and behavior consultant who literally wrote the book on predation in dogs (and how to address it).
We talk about:
- why (and how) her method of training dogs who chase cats is different than mine
- how to train FOR the situation, and not IN the situation (sort of)
- how to identify whether your dog wants to eat your cat or play with them (and why it might not even matter)!
