The "negative" or danger must be "defined" as access-to-the-prey and when this is the case, then the predator feels safe. (This is true of prey species as well since they are endowed with their own, albeit limited, predator aspect). A cat will not be able to make prey when there is a lot going on, and this is because they hunt by instinct and so negative-as-access-to-the-positive is defined for them and can only handle a far more limited rate of change. However the emotional capacity of dogs is much higher and so they can perceive a positive prey value in a situation of total chaos. This is why Search and Rescue dogs can search disaster sites whereas no other animal can be conditioned to do so, which is especially revealing since cats and monkeys are far better adapted physically speaking for such work. One can acclimate a police dog to love running up a metal fire escape with someone throwing metal pots and pans down at it. All these so-called negatives are being perceived by such a dog as "access to the positive" and therefore serve to arouse its prey-making urge to an even greater pitch.
