My dog is very bad about chasing cars. She gets really bad when I'm outside almost like she wants to protect me from them. I don't really know why she wants to chase them but I think she might have some herding breed in her. Anyways... I was wondering, what are some things I can do to get her to stop? She has been hit by a car once before but it wasn't a bad hit and she was fine afterwards. I just don't want it to happen again! I have heard of collars that shock the dog but I don't really want to do that to her, and I don't want to fence her up because I have a really big yard and she likes to visit and play with my neighbor's dogs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

Why is your dog loose outside? If you really want to protect your dog, which is your job by the way, you need to have the dog under your direct control at all times while outside. That means a leash, a fence, or an invisible fence. You can also go to training with your dog.

I have the same problem but my dog is only 7lbs. Dogs instinct is to chase their prey and is run away. The dog thinks the car is prey and it always runs(drives) away so she think shes good at this new game and so she keeps going it. Figure out how to make is less enjoyable have a friend drive bye and honk at her... scare her and maybe she won't do it anymore.

drive in a car slowly and have u or someone else in the back seat. once your dog starts running after the car. throw a cupful of cold water at the dog. repeat until dog learns to not follow cars. worked on my dog, but it was a yorkie so im no too sure about yours.

No shock collars!!! They are cruel and and don't always work!!!
Your dog's life is at risk. Don't fool around. Get a fence and prevent your dog from being killed by a car.

Get a fence. It's bordering on animal abuse to allow your dog to run near cars. I hope she doesn't end up dead because of your negligence.

You may have to put him on a leash when he is outside. Keep a good hold on it, and if he tries to chase a car. Tell him no, loudly and firmly.

A leash has always worked for me.
