Another skill that agility dogs need is to run fast through an agility course. But sometimes if they’re distracted by another dog or animal on the course, and they give chase, the competition is over! Here’s some advice I found recently to help you stop your dog from chasing.
Most dogs enjoy chasing cats, cars and people. Dogs generally see this as something fun to do, and don’t mean any harm by it, but, the fact is, this behavior is fear-inducing in others and can cause unintentional accidents.
It is not as simple as just yelling at or hitting your dog after it has chased something. Taking a proactive approach is much better.
Recognizing what your dog does immediately before it starts chasing something is the most important step. 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.
Your dog needs to be able to respond to and obey at least 2 basic commands – sit down and come here. Once your dog understands these skills it will be easier to stop him from chasing.
So, how do you train a dog to obey voice commands? First get a toy or treat that it likes the best. Place your chosen item 10 feet from the dog and wait for it to start approaching the item. As it starts to move, command it to either sit down or come to you. When it obeys your command, speak in a warm tone to it and let it have the toy or treat.
After having done this with just you and your dog, ask a friend for their assistance. Your dog should be standing or sitting by you, then your friend should past waving a toy or treat in their hand. 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.
This might take some time and patience, but your persistence will pay off. Just stay positive, patient, stick with it and you’ll get the dog to obey.
