Eye - stalk- chase that bunny (or squirrel or cat or pigeon)!
Dogs have a natural instinct to herd or hunt as we humans have bred them that way. These behaviours are self rewarding and intensely satisfying for your dog. The only thing is we're not able to let our dogs chase and catch wildlife or the neighbour's cat. It would be an upsetting experience and in some cases illegal.
The good news is that there is a way to teach your dog to disengage from that enticing bunny, and there are ways to incorporate their natural instinct in to play.
How do you help your dog enjoy the tasks they were bred for?
