DS: Is prey drive acceptable behaviour or deemed to be aggression?
I have nice dogs. They are very good with people and well trained. However they have very high prey drive. A hunting dog is not a hunting dog without prey drive. The best hunting dogs have very high prey drive. Prey drive is genetic. You can't put it in a dog that doesn't have it. You can't take it out of a dog that has it. All you can do is manage it and train the dog the proper way to express it. Prey drive does not equal aggression. More aggression is based more on fearfulness then on prey drive in my opinion.
