In this episode, Darina and Killian discuss the predatory sequence in dogs, picking up from where they left off in part 1. They explore the remaining steps of the sequence and highlight how predatory instincts are still present in out pet dogs but are expressed very differently. We learn how the instincts can be channeled and enriched in the modern world and Darina and Killian emphasise the importance of individualising enrichment activities based on each dog's preferences and needs.
