Understanding Dog Play Styles and the Prey Drive: Boost Training & Enrichment
 
Every dog has a unique play style—and it’s deeply connected to their breed instincts and natural prey drive. In this video, we break down the prey sequence in dogs and explain how each stage reflects different play preferences. Knowing how your dog likes to seek, stalk, chase, catch, kill, consume, and celebrate will not only deepen your bond but massively improve your training and enrichment sessions.
 
We’ll explore:
 
How the prey drive sequence affects your dog’s behavior
Fun, instinct-based dog enrichment games like scent work, flirt pole play, structured tug-of-war, and chase-and-catch games
Why using biological fulfillment is key to reducing problem behaviors and increasing engagement
How different breeds emphasize different parts of the prey sequence (e.g., herding vs. hunting breeds)
 
By learning your dog’s natural instincts and play preferences, you can provide targeted mental stimulation, boost their well-being, and make training more effective and fun!
 
Perfect for dog owners, trainers, and anyone wanting to understand what truly drives their pup.
