"Hi, I'm Lakota Wolfdog. Did you know that all dogs are bred to do a job? Some hunt, others guard, and so on. As for me, I'll chase anything that moves...like the cat next door, hee hee."

"It's not that I'm being a bad dog; it's a natural instinct that all dogs have, it's called a prey drive. Yeah, that's right, a prey drive. I need to stalk something, chase it, and then take it down." 

"What I take down is pretty much up to YOU. It can be the cat, or my ball...or the mail man. It's ALL UP TO YOU."

HERE'S HOW THE GAME WORKS

"Take my favorite toy, and tie it to the end of a rope. Now, throw the toy. As we both know, I will chase it. When I almost get to it, pop the rope, keeping it moving. That will really challenge me."

Every now and then you have to let me catch it. (NO-o, this isn't torture the dog hour) and let me bring it to you. When I bring it to you, you must do that GOOD GIRL and scratch-behind-my-ears thing."

"Wow, I actually feel like I'm hunting something and catching it for you. This makes me a very happy dog, and the mail man is a little less important, 'cause I get to stalk something other than HIM!"
