How to Stop Your Dog from Chasing
If your dog often chases cars, bikes, animals, or people, it's not just a nuisance?"it can be dangerous for both your dog and those they chase. For example, if your dog pursues a child, it could lead to a dangerous situation if the child runs into the street. Training your dog not to chase is a crucial aspect of basic obedience.
Dogs are naturally inclined to chase due to their carnivorous instincts. Breeds like Collies and sheepdogs have been trained to use this instinct for herding, but they still require training to respond when needed. It's best to start this training when they're young.
Begin training in your garden, especially if it's fenced, to limit distractions. Remove any toys or items that might divert your dog's attention.
1. Initial Training:
- Put your dog on a lead and keep them by your side.
- Show them a ball without letting them touch it.
- Roll the ball away and firmly say "Off!"
- If they try to follow, gently restrain them with the lead and repeat the command.
- Continue this until they obey.
2. Reward and Reinforce:
- Reward your dog with a treat when they follow the command.
- Practice in various settings, such as indoors and in busy parks, gradually adding distractions until they consistently obey.
3. Advanced Training:
- Once they master the command with a lead, practice in different environments without it.
- Continue to reward obedience with treats.
Make sure not to let your dog off the lead until you're confident in their training. This simple exercise will prevent chasing incidents, sparing you from potential embarrassment and the consequences, which could range from distress to legal issues if your dog's actions cause harm.
By following these steps, you'll ensure a well-behaved dog and a safer environment for everyone.
