Chasing cars Living in the country is great, but my yorkie has started trying to chase cars that go by and we are talking cars going 50 mph. Our border collie taught him this and I can't get him broke. He won't listen and it seems to be more of a problem when I'm outside with him. Our house is quite a ways from the road thank goodness, but we have had a few close calls. I am at my wits end, he knows he's in trouble and won't come to me when I call him. I have been trying to keep him on the leash lately, but he's such a stinker that sometimes he gets out the door before we catch him. Any suggestions!!! |
I agree with people who will recommend training, but overall, I will never trust my boys off leash. The risk isn't worth it to me. My boys were trained to "stay" at the door, but my father failed to give the command and Teddy got out and chased the UPS truck. That day, the babygates went up to keep the dogs away from the doors to the outside. I train for emergencies, which we have had, but overall I do everything in my power to prevent my boys from getting loose. |
I never let mine out off leash unless I am with them in my fenced in yard and even then they are under constant supervision. Even the best trained dogs can sometimes decide out of the blue to chase a car, cat, bird etc. |
