Hello guys and gals.

I am concerned that my 9 month old puppy Chanel, now has gotten the habit of running after cars. My home is fenced. SHE CANT GET OUT. But I have yard all around my house. So now when she is in one end hunting for lizards (favorite thing to do) lol.. and she sees a car pass by, she runs after it all the way around the house. Same with pedestrians and bikers. Anything that moves!! I have been going to puppy training classes. Are these the same as obedience classes? Well, I now call her over, she looks at me and just goes and do whatever she was doing. (running all over the place.) I have been working on lose leash walking. She pulls, starts choking a bit and then stop, but then does it again. Its like when she want to go, she pulls. Out of all the things i hav been teaching her, like (sit, stay, lay, shake and lose leash walking), the leash and the stay dont work. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IF I LEAVE HER WITHOUT LEASH AND TELL HER STAY, (BEING OUTSIDE) THERE IS NO WAY IN THE WORLD SHE WILL STAY. What can i do? Any techniques ? What has worked for you guys? I love it when i see a dog owner on the street, walking down the sidewalk and their dog right next to them without a leash. And the thing is that i know some of these people and they dont go to classes. So what the trick>? I sometimes thing that positive is not the way to go. I seen dogs that get treated bad at the star and they learn their lesson, i think mine has beeeeen ttooooooooooooooo sPOILED!!!
