behaviors among dogs is that of chasing cars. Dogs must be
trained as early as possible that chasing cars is not
acceptable. That is because dogs that chase cars eventually
become dogs that catch cars, and car plus dog always equals big
trouble.
There are many reasons that dogs chase cars. For one thing,
chasing moving objects is an ingrained, instinctual behavior
that can never be completely removed. Chasing behaviors, however
can and should be controlled through a combination of good
training and supervision.
Some dogs are more apt to chase cars, bikes, joggers, cats and
other dogs than are others. Dogs that have a high prey drive,
including breeds that have been bred for hunting, are
particularly susceptible to the thrill of the chase. Herding
breeds are also apt to chase cars, attempt to herd the neighbors
children, or express other undesired traits of their breeding.
One reason that many dogs chase cars in particular is that they
have learned to associate cars with good time and fun things.
Most dogs love to ride in the car, and when they see a car they
may try to chase it down for a ride.
No matter what your dog's motivation for chasing cars, however,
it is important to curb this dangerous behavior as quickly as
Really Cheap Car Insurance - You Want It Cheap? Start HereIs there such a thing as really cheap car insurance? I dont know how that happens unless you have a really cheap car that you hardly ever drive and nobody in your geographical area has had an accident in the last 20 years. That would drive the rates down significantly. The reality of that all occurring is somewhere between very slim and none. Car insurance is given its rates by insurance actuaries. They review claims experience in certain geographical areas along with driver age groups to obtain some of their criteria for determining rates. The kind of vehicle that you purchase has a lot to d ..
possible. Training the dog not to chase cars starts with
teaching the dog the meaning of the "Off" command. The "Off"
command is one of the basic tenets of obedience, and it must be
mastered by every dog.
Teaching the dog to stay where he is, even if interesting,
exciting things are happening elsewhere, is very important to
all aspects of dog training. In the world of professional dog
training, this is sometimes referred to as distraction training.
Distraction training is very important, and it is applicable to
teaching the dog not to chase cars.
Teaching this important lesson is not something you will be able
to do on your own. You will need at least one other person - a
volunteer who will slowly drive by and tempt your car with his
bright, shiny object. You will stand with your dog on his leash
as the volunteer drives by.
Having the volunteer drive your own car can provide an even
greater temptation, since dogs are able to distinguish one car
from another. If your car is the one that provides his rides, it
is likely to be the most tempting object in the world.
When your friend drives by, either in your car or his, watch
your dog's reaction carefully. If he begins to jump up or move

away, repeat the "Off" command and quickly return your dog to
the sitting position. If he remains where he is, be sure to give
him lavish amounts of praise and perhaps a treat or two.
Repeat this process many times over the course of a few days.
Once your dog is reliably remaining seated when your friend
drives by, start lengthening the distance between yourself and
your dog. A long, retractable leash works great for this
process. Slowly lengthen the distance between you and your dog,
while still making sure you have control.
Even after your dog is trained to not chase cars, however, it is
important to not leave him out off the leash unsupervised.
Leaving a dog unattended, except for within a properly and
securely fenced in yard, is simply asking for trouble. Dogs are
unpredictable, and it is always possible that the chase instinct
could kick in at exactly the wrong moment. The best strategy is
to confine the dog when you cannot supervise him.
