Predatory play: it's more than just fun—it’s fulfilment. 🐺🐾
Ever noticed how your Border Collie crouches low, eyes fixed, and moves like a shadow before the chase? That’s not ‘just play’—it’s their predatory motor pattern in action.
Rather than suppressing those instincts, we can channel them in healthy ways through activities like tug, flirt pole, and fetch with impulse control. This means a happier, calmer, more fulfilled dog—without the frustration and unwanted behaviours.
Let’s honour who they are, not fight it. Structured play gives them what they’re wired for—safely and purposefully. “Predatory play: it's more than just fun—it’s fulfilment. 🐺🐾
