When dogs pursue game/animals other than the intended, the unwanted game is often referred to as "trash". Here in the South coonhounds were apt to tree an occasional opossum or a foxhound might chase a rabbit rather than a fox. Owners tried hard but often failed to break their dogs from perusing the "trash". Today it is done with shock collars, when I was a kid it was done with a large stick. And I am not supporting either, just stating the facts as I know them.
