Meet your trainer – Simone Mueller
Simone with her dog Isla
Founder of Predation Substitute Training
Hi, I’m Simone Mueller, a certified dog trainer and behaviour consultant. I specialise in predatory behaviour and high-energy dogs.
I’m passionate about helping dogs and their guardians around the world through force-free Predation Substitute Training.
⭐ Author of four #1 Amazon Bestsellers – 40,000 books sold
⭐ Online Course Mentor to 7,000 dogs and their guardians
⭐ International Conference Speaker
It all began with my first dog, Malinka. Her hunting instinct was so strong that our daily walks were stressful and, at times, dangerous. Determined to find a solution, I immersed myself in canine behaviour and natural instincts – and through research, trial and error, I developed Predation Substitute Training (PST).
Malinka’s transformation from a high-energy chaser into a calm, connected companion is what inspired me to help other dog guardians facing the same challenges. Everything I teach in this course is built on that hands-on experience – effective, and always compassionate.
I’d love to help you get started on your PST journey with this course!

- you’d rather understand what’s going on with your dog than just manage it

FAQ
What you need to know
Will this work for my dog?
PST works with your dog’s prey drive instead of against it – which is why it works for all kinds of dogs: puppies, rescues, dogs who have been chasing for years, sighthounds, terriers, herding dogs and every mix in between. The Principles give you the foundation: understanding what’s going on, and the first games to redirect that energy. How far you get depends on your dog, your starting point and how consistently you practise. What I can promise is a clear, kind strategy that thousands of dog guardians have used before you.
Is this for beginners?
Yes. The course is built for guardians who are new to Predation Substitute Training. Everything is step by step, with clear instructions, videos and a workbook to follow along.
How much time do I need?
About one afternoon to go through the course – and then a few minutes on each walk to practise. The games fit into the walks you’re already taking; there’s no extra training schedule.
What’s the difference to Call off the Chase?
PST Principles is where you start: an overview of the method, the core ideas and your first practical exercises – compact and affordable. Call off the Chase is the full Master Course: 13 modules covering all four aspects of PST in depth, with live Q&A and community support. Many guardians start with the Principles and move on to the Master Course when they want the complete system.
Is it really force-free?
Completely. No e-collars, no spray collars, no prong collars, no intimidation – not in this course, not ever. We don’t suppress your dog’s prey drive; we give it a safe outlet.
Do I need any equipment?
Just some treats your dog really likes. Everything else you need is explained in the course.
How do I access the course?
Your course access is sent to you right after your purchase. The course is online, on demand, and you keep lifetime access.
Is there a guarantee?
I can’t promise results – they depend on you putting the games into practice with your dog. What I can guarantee is that you get a clear, science-based strategy that is kind to your dog, and that you’re not alone with it: if you have questions, write to team@predation-substitute-training.com.
