Controlling your dog’s urge to chase
share:
Dogs love the thrill of a chase, so keep an eye out for cats, children, bikes, cars and other dogs when you’re out and about as well as making sure you keep your dog safely on a lead near traffic.
To keep chasing in check and prevent it from becoming a habit, take firm control of your dog when you meet new things and new people.
Keep your dog on a lead or training line and train them to come back when you call, rewarding them when they do.
It’ll take lots of practice, but your reward will be a brilliantly behaved dog, both on the lead and off.
