What’s out there that might be catchable and good to eat? Right there, the predatory sequence has begun. Aha! She catches a sight or scent and orients toward it.

Managing Prey Drive Basics

Handling Distractions

Our dogs are no different. The doorbell rings, someone opens the refrigerator, a dog barks in the distance and the birds are teasing. Squirrel!!
