My 2 1/2 year old Mika girl is taking a liking to car chasing. When I walk her on the leash and a car comes down the road, she focuses on the car and then lunges at the car as it passes. I think she knows I will stop her as I always do with a tug. Sometimes, if there is plenty of space off the side of the road, she will choose to move as far away off the road as possible. I think she is afraid of the cars.

If she gets off the leash, I am afraid she will chase the cars. If I don't correct quickly, I am also afraid she could get hit. Any input is so appreciated. Otherwise, our walks are consistantly improving...less pulling etc.
