Fast running things can easily attract the attention of dogs. When some dogs see a car on the road, they like to chase the car. This action is very dangerous, and the owner does not dare to control the dog easily. Is there no way to stop the dog from chasing the car?

In fact, for dogs, vehicles such as cars are just vague concepts that cannot be fully understood. Many dogs love riding in cars, watching the world go by on the highway, and riding here and there with their humans. A parked car represents an opportunity to go somewhere, while a moving car is a different animal. Some dogs understand that a car is speeding because there is a person driving it, while other dogs think that the car is like a cow or a sheep that can move on its own.

The dangers of car chases

Because dogs’ herding instincts are activated, they must chase big things. No dog realizes how fast, heavy and dangerous a car can be. If dogs are hit by a car while chasing a car, they will learn a lesson: it is not a good idea to continue chasing the car. However, some dogs just can't stop, and their instincts are stronger than their ability to choose self-preservation and safety. They rely on us humans to help them stay away from moving cars.

Security Measures

When walking the dog, the owner must wear a strong leash on the dog to avoid accidents caused by the dog chasing cars. You can also use a muzzle if necessary. Some dogs will howl in warning at moving vehicles.

Distract your dog's attention. When walking your dog, bring snacks that your dog likes. When the dog’s instinct is aroused by the moving vehicle, call the dog’s name and take out the snacks to attract the dog’s attention. Owners should try to walk their dogs in places with few cars. Parks and grass are easy to remove. When walking their dogs, they should wear a leash to prevent their dogs from getting into danger.
