Neil Sattin presents Dog Training: Training your dog to come when called - use the prey instinct and play hide and seek - Natural Dog Training Blog posted at Natural Dog Training Blog, saying, “I write primarily about how to train dogs using their emotions and their prey instinct. In this article, I explain how to play hide-and-seek with your dog in a way that will help make you the most interesting thing in your dog’s life. Yep, more interesting than squirrels, more interesting than other dogs, more interesting than people food! Your dog will be more likely to come when you call even in the most distracting of situations.

Whenever our dogs get jazzed, they look for some outlet for their energy. In a dog’s world, that “outlet” is finding something to hunt - a prey object. Even their play with other dogs simulates the dance between prey and predator. Since our dog’s behavior is primarily oriented around whatever the most enticing prey object in their environment is, natural dog training techniques are designed to make YOU the most interesting thing in your dog’s universe at any moment by harnessing that prey drive in all that you do with your dog.

Happy Halloween!”
