Chasing, whether it be cats, cars or even people, is something most dogs love to do. Dogs generally see this as something fun to do, and don't mean any harm by it, but, the fact is, that by chasing they invoke fear in others and can cause unintentional accidents.
It is very irresponsible of owners to allow their dogs the opportunity to chase. Behavioral problems like chasing are more than just annoying. Solving this problem is possible though, but it will take some effort to correct.
Different breeds of dogs have a stronger instinct in chasing than other dogs but, whichever you breed you have, the behavior can't be stopped by simply yelling at or hitting your dog.
The very least that you should is not let your dog be in a situation that allows it to chase in the first place. With dogs who regularly chase after things, this may mean having to keep it on a leash or within a fenced yard. Keep your dog and those in the surrounding area safe until you learnt to predict his behavior and you have him trained to obey your commands.
To prevent them from chasing an owner needs to understand his dogs cues. It is common for dogs to give some indication, such as a prolonged stare or a lifted leg, before they set off after something. Once you know what it is that your dog does, you can act before it does. You should be able to find this out fairly quickly as dogs are creatures of habit.
The obeying of basic commands is necessary for a dog to stop chasing. At the very least, your dog needs to respond to two - sit down and come here. It will be much easier to stop your dog from chasing once he understands and responds to these.
So, how do you train a dog to obey voice commands? First you need to find something that the dog really likes, such as a toy or treat. Place your chosen item 10ft from the dog and wait for it to start approaching it. As it starts to move, command it to either sit down or come to you. After it has done what you want, say okay and let it have the toy or treat.
After having done this with just you and your dog, ask a friend for their assistance. Have your friend jog by you whilst waving a toy or treat and see what the dogs reaction is. If it starts to chase then give the dog the command to either sit down or come. Once it obeys your command, give it the reward.
Patience is necessary, but, with a little persistence, this approach always works. Just stay positive, patient and stick with it and you'll get there. - 29895
