This mindset journal will help you to set goals, see your progress and get to grips with your dog's prey drive.
The number one challenge that everybody with a high prey drive dog faces is that prey drive isn't a behaviour problem to be solved. It is part of what makes a dog a dog. In fact, many dogs have been selectively bred to make parts of that natural drive stronger than others.
Prey drive isn't going away.
The trick to having a happy life with your high prey drive dog is to create habits that allow you to be consistent with your planning and training. It'll stop you falling into the 'this will never work' blues and keep you going.
It won't tell you what to train or how to train but it will help you to get that life changing consistency that makes whatever training you are doing work.
It'll help no matter what training you are already doing with your high prey drive dog. And it's packed with information and advice about prey drive in dogs.

I would love to introduce myself to you.
I am passionate about using simple, easy methods to make living with high prey drive dogs easy to do.
I have tons of qualifications. Most recently, I studied for a master's degree in Applied Animal Behaviour and Training. I graduated from that course with distinction. Going back a bit, I studied for and gained a BSc (hons) in Canine Behaviour and Training. Going back even further, I studied for and gained an MA (hons) in Philosophy which means I really understand ethics.
My experience in living with high prey drive dogs spans over 20 years. I've had tons of success in training my own dogs of various breeds to control themselves around prey.
Not only that but since 2018, I have focused on teaching my clients the things I know about prey drive. I've helped hundreds of people just like you to live better lives with their high prey drive dogs.
Modern dog training focuses on being aligned with scientific research. I am not just aligned with it. I actively contribute to the research about prey drive in dogs.
I have articles published by the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science. As a qualified expert in the field, I also peer review for the journal so that I can help with upcoming research into prey drive.
Legal Disclaimer: I would love to promise you the same results as I got from this training. I would also love to promise you how long it will take. I simply can't give any guarantees. Success in dog training depends on a range of factors including but not limited to: your own efforts, your skill at implementing the training suggested, the time you spend on training, as well as your dog's prior experiences, health, and temperament. You remain responsible for your dog's behaviour.
