Dogs chase because they think it's a game. They react to fast movement. It’s natural.
Begin teaching commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “look at me” inside your home. Practice daily.
A short leash gives more control. Avoid retractable leashes. Hold it tight but don’t pull hard.
Always carry treats. Praise your dog when they ignore cars. Use a calm and happy voice.
Teach your dog to focus on you. Say “Look!” before a car passes. Reward if they obey.
Start in a quiet street. Let one car pass. Slowly move to busier areas. Keep calm.
If you see a car coming, distract your dog early. Use commands or change direction quickly.
Yelling or yanking can scare your dog. It may make things worse. Be gentle but firm.
Some tools help control strong dogs. Head halters turn their face away. Harnesses stop pulling.
If nothing works, ask for help. A professional can teach your dog safely and correctly.
