Your dog loves chasing wildlife – but you don’t. 

Maybe you’ve already taken steps to tackle the hunting behaviour, but gaining control has proven to be a challenge. Or you simply didn’t know what course of action to take, so you kept your dog on a leash and hoped for the best.

You are not alone!

Predatory behavior in dogs can present significant challenges for us, their guardians. So if these thoughts and feelings sound familiar to you, then help is coming your way:

✅ You are tired of seeing your dog disappear into the distance as they chase wildlife yet again

✅ You find yourself feeling stressed as your dog becomes highly excited around wildlife, making them difficult to manage during walks.

✅ You’re concerned that your dog’s prey drive is negatively affecting your relationship

✅ You feel overwhelmed by your dog’s predatory behaviour and want to learn how to turn things around

✅ Or you have a puppy and want to prevent hunting behaviour issues before they start

I got you! Look no further than “Call off the Chase”!

Client wins & kind words

Before Predation Substitute Training, I was being dragged behind my dog while she was gleefully chasing. Thanks to your clear and concise protocols, I was able to show her how we can hunt together! She is so driven to play the games with me, and it has strengthened our relationship and communication.

Joy S., USA

I was struggling with handling Lalo’s high prey drive and walks were a challenge for us as he would constantly hunt and chase squirrels hitting the end of the leash and barking. After learning about PST and partaking in a workshop, our walks have completely changed. Lalo has activities to fill his hunting needs and can sit at a distance and watch a squirrel. He is calmer on his walks and disengages on his own from squirrels to play his games.

Danelle K., Canada

Having been a street dog until 1.5 years old, my Border Collie mix Samson had a long reinforcement history with chasing animals – from rabbits to deer. His habit of merry-go-rounding when he saw animals made leash training that much more difficult and frustrating. Transitioning to calm ‘stalking’ was such a difference not only on my end of the leash, but was a much more natural and overall calm behaviour for Samson who was already feeling frustrated by his new city life. Could not recommend more!

Laura P., USA

… how different Simone’s approach is to the common things you hear about prey drive. Giving dogs appropriate outlets for their natural needs has always been a priority of mine and this course teaches you techniques and games that are exactly that. I enjoyed the videos that were filmed with her own dogs and client dogs after explaining the theory to see what the methods will look like in the real world.

FAQ

What you need to know

Is there in-person support or review of videos? Is there any contact available if we have questions as we work through the course?

While ‘Call off the Chase’ is an online course, you’re not alone! You’ll have access to monthly live Q&A sessions with me, Simone, where I personally answer all your questions. Additionally, there’s an exclusive forum where you can ask questions, share your progress, and get support from me and my team throughout your journey. Though there is no in-person review, you’ll always have guidance and support every step of the way!

If my dog has once caught and/or killed an animal, would the course still help?

Yes, absolutely! Every dog can learn PST. It’s never too late to regain control and enjoy your walks again.

Is the course suitable for a puppy/older dog/specific breed?

Yes, absolutely! Age or breed don’t matter; PST works for all dogs alike. 🙂

Are terriers/other special breeds included in the 15+ different dog breeds?

Yes, we cover Terriers, Hounds, Labradors, Border Collies, Dachshunds and various breeds. Also, keep in mind that we focus on each dog’s individual behaviour rather than just breed tendencies. The course aims to use PST tools that perfectly match your dog.

Can this protocol be applied as a preventative?

Absolutely! If you start training before your dog has a high interest in predatpory behaviour, it makes things much easier for both of you.

Is access to the course limited in time?

No, you have lifelong access to the course as long as it exists. I don’t want to stress you with any limits, as learning new behaviours and tools should be fun and helpful – and not determined by any dates.

Is there a payment plan?

Yes, there is a payment plan with 2 installments available.

Does it offer CEUs (Continuing Education Units)?

Yes! You can recieve CEUs from:

Karen Pryor Academy

CCPDT – Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers

How and when can I access the content of the course?

You can access all content on our course platform. You can start the course whenever you like to. You will then receive a new module every week, allowing you time to implement what you’ve learned. After all the modules are released, you‘ll retain lifelong access (as long as this course is available).

Do the modules have to be followed in order or can you be doing several at the same time?

You will receive a new module every week to guide you through the process of PST step by step! You can always review older modules but can’t skip ahead to unreleased ones. This ensures a strong PST foundation before advanced exercises. Once you have gone through the course, you can open and use the modules as you like!

Is the course designed for pet parents or professionals?

It’s for pet parents but also serves as a starting point for professionals without experience in Predation Substitute Training. For those interested in becoming a PST professional, there’s a special Instructor course too.

What will I learn in the course that is not in your books?

The course goes much deeper than the books. We delve into much more detail, the videos make the methods visually comprehensible and aid in applying them even better in your daily interactions with your dog. 🐶

Is PST appropriate for use with dogs not in the household/reactive dogs?

Although some content may be helpful, I don’t recommend using Call off the Chase or PST for this issue. There are more suitable solutions and protocols, like BAT (Behaviour Adjustment Training).

Is this class for only wildlife or can it help with cats in the home or car chasing?

The course is designed for wildlife encounters, but some information could be theoretically applied to your pets as well. However, the course is not specifically tailored for that purpose.

Not sure if my dog just wants to scare cats away or chase. She jumps into bushes when she thinks there are cats there.

In almost every case, this is not about scaring them away but is part of the predatory behaviour chain. “Call off the Chase” would be the perfect start to understand, what your dog is doing and how to manage it. 🙂

Can you still play fetch or find the ball during walks with this course?

Of course! There’s nothing wrong with playing fetch, if you do it sporadically and with a proper cool down

Is everything in English? Or is there a German translation?

This course is only available in English.

Which PST course is the best fit for me?

For Dog Guardians: If you want to learn the fundamentals of PST, please start with this course. If you are familiar with the basics of PST, you are warmly invited to join the next round of “Oh Deer” – our live workshop with optional individual support.

For Professionals: CotC could be a perfect starting point if you have little or no experience with Predation Substitute Training. If you’re looking for an in-depth experience and wish to become a certified PST instructor, please consider joining our Instructor Course. Join the waitlist!

How can I reach out for assistance if I have further questions on the course?

For any questions or issues, contact us at team@predation-substitute-training.com.

Is there a guarantee that I will achieve specific results by completing the course?

There is no guarantee of success, as results depend on participants’ implementation and perseverance.
