Predation Substitute Training
Does your dog chase wildlife?
Squirrels, birds, or even bees – your dog sees them, and it’s game on. You’ve tried calling, distracting, managing – but nothing really sticks?
Let’s make this the moment things begin to change. Kindly, ethically – and for good!
If hunting is your dog’s favourite hobby – you’ve come to the right place.
Predation Substitute Training (PST) is a kind, science-based approach to help prey-driven dogs stay calm and connected – even when wildlife appears.
Instead of suppressing natural behaviours, PST teaches you how to work with your dog’s instincts – not against them – to build real-life trust and focus.
Less chasing. More freedom. For both of you!
“It’s a game changer. It totally changed my relationship with my dog and how I see him.“
“Simone manages to explain an actually complex topic in a simple and understandable way.”
“These exercises will help with training and your bond so its a win win.”

Hi, I’m Simone!
certified dog trainer and behaviour consultant (ATN.AG) from Germany, specialising in force-free anti-predation training
When I first lived with a prey-driven dog, I felt overwhelmed.
I wanted to keep her safe. I wanted to protect wildlife. And more than anything – I just wanted to enjoy our walks together.
But most training methods either didn’t help at all – or only worked through pressure, punishment, or tools I didn’t feel comfortable using.
That’s what led me to develop Predation Substitute Training (PST) – a kind, practical and science-based approach that works with your dog’s natural instincts, not against them.
Today, PST helps dog guardians all over the world turn chasing into calmness, connection, and trust – step by step, and without force.
Because there is a way forward. And it can be kind.
