Predation Substitute Training isn’t just another technique!
It’s a triple Win-Win-Win: For you as a professional, for your clients, and for their dogs!
The PST approach will not only help you to become a better trainer, it will also be an opportunity to stand out from the competition in the dog training market by using our 4-Aspect-Method:
This comprehensive and successful anti-predation training program consists of four different aspects that are all equally important for the success of you and your clients: Management and Prevention, Predation Substitute Tools, Predation Substitute Games and the Interruption of Predatory Behaviour.
In our PST Instructor course, we will cover them all in detail, and we will give you the skills you need to tailor each aspect for every individual human/dog team.
During the ten-week course, starting on November 12, 2023, you will learn how to teach and apply this modern, force-free anti-predation training in your training classes and with your one-to-one clients.
There are only 40 spots on this course and each session will consist of a theoretical input, given to you during our live sessions (recordings will be available) and self-paced practical exercises that you will try out with your own or a client’s dog.

What clients say about the PST approach
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.
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!
… 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.
