Stop Dog Chasing

Dog chasing needs to be curbed

Dog chasing can be frightening and dangerous

Techniques to Stop Dog Chasing

The best way of dealing with the different problems dog owners face with their dogs – whether it’s barking problems, digging problems and even jumping up on people – is to prevent them before they begin.
This involves training puppies to live up to expectations and be obedient through consistent reinforcement.

Train puppies to live up to expectations and be obedient fast!

Another training issue that comes up is dog chasing. It can be very dangerous to the dog as well as any individuals involved. And there a variety of different methods to stop dog chasing so you can prevent this issue arising.
They all require the dog owner to be consistent with whichever method is chosen.

Prevention is better than cure

The most obvious way to stop dogs chasing cars, for example, is to only allow your dog to be outside supervised and on a leash.
Anyway, dogs should never be allowed to run free outside as this puts them and others in danger when they are near the road.
Even if people live in rural areas with little traffic, the dog should always be trained to stay in its territory so he or she does not venture into the road and cause an accident.
This also hinders dogs from chasing individuals who may come around the dog’s territory.
It should be recognised that allowing a dog to chase people or other animals is not only endangering the dog but also the other people or animals.
There is also a concern here about the action of chasing creating aggression in the dog, which is something any dog owner should not want to foster in their family pet.
When a dog chases his or her owner in a playful way, the owner should not encourage that behaviour with positive reinforcement.
Even though playing chase can be fun, it can create aggressive behaviour in the dog and the owner would not want the chasing behaviour to be reflected around visitors to the home.

Ways to stop dog chasing

To stop dog chasing you should refuse to run away from the dog if and when he or she tries to play in this way.
You should turn your back to the dog and refuse the dog any attention when it exhibits this behaviour.
As the dog calms down, you should then give your dog the attention and praise. Another method to reinforce good behaviour and stop dog chasing is to firmly tell the dog to sit when it starts the chase behaviour.
As before, when the dog follows your instruction and sits, you should give it attention to reinforce the positive behaviour.

    CDPOM/ Celebrate Pets are a great bunch of people. They have been looking after our cat for just about every period away from home for the last five years, from single days to a couple of weeks. They are really great with him and no extra seems too large for them from watering the plants to putting the bins out. We always get a text from them so that we know visits have started and comprehensive reports on what he's been like when we're away. Cannot recommend highly enough, completely reliable and they love our cat. What more could you want?

    As a customer for over 7 years and a regular traveller, I have been delighted with the service provided in looking after my home and pets. Easy and simple booking and payment process, prompt responses, and never a problem to arrange care for my cats even at very short notice. I have complete confidence in leaving my home and pets in their hands. They keep me updated while I'm away and even put a pint of milk in the fridge if I'm away for more than a few days.

    We are so pleased we found CDPOM as our cat, Lucy, was so distressed in the cattery. We have been using their services for several years now and have always found them extremely reliable and we are always confident that Lucy is in safe hands. From their reports, she seems to enjoy their visits and always looks well and happy when we return home. In addition, they always ensure that the house is left secure and how we left it. We would highly recommend them.

    Louise and all the team at CDPOM have been amazing. I have used them for many years to look after my dog and the team obviously love the animals. They have helped me out at short notice and also kept Molly for longer when I've been delayed. Louise also house sits which give me peace of mind that someone is around when I'm away and less stressful on Molly. Thanks again and cant recommend highly enough.

    So reliable, I would highly recommend Louise and her Cat visiting service. Going away can be quite stressful with cats, as they don't like the disruption of being moved elsewhere, or having strangers in the house. After trying a few things, I realised home visits is really the best way. It was hard to find a reliable service at first, after a few issues in the past, so CDPOM was a godsend. Louise has been looking after my cats for over 10 years, and she has removed the stress out of travelling, as I know my cat will be in good hands with her. Thanks Louise!
