my dog cannot tolerate lizards and always tries to catch one if sees any

You can keep him on a leash and yell "no!" when he goes after one, but it might be such a powerful hunting instinct that it could be too hard to stop him. If this is a problem inside your house, get rid of the lizards. If it is a problem outside, just keep him on his leash. Try to stop him, but be aware that it could be impossible to break him of this.

If hes always chasing lizards, put him on a leash when he goes outside. You should watch the dog whisperer on TV to find out more.

sounds as if he has a strong hunting or curious factor. Catch him in the act and stearnly tell him NO! and swat his rear with a rolled newspaper. This should work after a few times. If not you may have to resort to using a shock collar.

Your dog probably enjoys hunting them. Mine does too but she never catches them. They are too quick for her but its funny to watch her think she can catch them.
