I have a problem with my 2yr old G.Shep chasing anything on wheels...kids bikes, gold cart, lawn mower, cars going up/down road. I could live with all of them except the car chasing.
We have invisible fencing for him because of this very problem. He has ran away repeatedly when he was younger because he would chase cars. Now he will sit at the very edge of his boundary, patiently wait for a car, get in the "on your mark, get set, GO!" position, and start running as soon as the car gets near him. He of course stops because of the fence. And then sits to wait for another to come by.
As per my trainer, I have repeatedly tried him w/ collar and leash, so that as soon as he makes a move, I correct him. My problem is, he won't make a move on the leash. He is very obedient on the leash. I have tried a LONG lead (30ft?), he still knows its attached to him. I have tried just hooking either lead to a normal flat collars vs. pinch, still nothing.
My next move is buying a remote shock collar and be able to shock him from a distance. I just don't think that is going to do the trick.
He is a working schutzhund dog, so of course I want him to chase, but not cars.
Any suggestions?
