Re: Prey drive
Like other people said, you can't stop it........
You CAN channel prey drive (in certain dogs) to a toy. So, the toy is more rewarding than anything else. Again, depends on the dog.
If food/toys don't work - the only thing that is left is pressure/compulsion/corrections.

All he was doing was licking there face.
