Controlling Prey Drive in your dog

Proof that, through great training, you can teach a dog to control her prey drive. My Mini Schnauzer found a mole in a field. I called her off of it, and she left it immediately. I thought "I wish I could record that to show people"... and then I realized my phone HAS a video option, so I let her get close to it a few more times and, even after another dog came by and attacked the mole and I had to fend it off, Kompis remained calm and never harmed or touched the rodent.
