Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better knowing I'm not the only one! We are also clicker training and have had a lot of success, I just never thought to take it with me to help with the car chasing problem! We also use the 'leave' command so tomorrow morning I will try again and attempt your method will keep you posted!

Update on today's walk............
Not quite so bad but in the rush to get the kids to school I forgot the clicker, doh! Have figured out that she has a preference for white cars! Maybe they look like sheep to her
Did remember to take her fave squeaky ball but this only seemed to attract other dogs, had a quiet chortle to myself, watching the owners as their dogs strained at the leads...........

I have 3 border collies and never had this problem, but the 2 jack russels in my street are awful to do it I wish their owners would keep them in their garden and not running free before they get knocked down, it makes me so mad

Hehe- good to hear she was a little better today.
Giuve it a try try with the clicker- it will not work after just one click but she will get the message if you repeat the proccess.
Best of luck

have you thought of maybe joining herding classes? when she is older she could enter herding comp's!

take a look at this website: Willow Acres Dog Training (Agility, Obedience, Herding, Clicker) - Herding Training
tells you about herding!

i thought about doing this with my boy when he is older too!

its well worth it and gives your dog something mentally challenging, dogs love this kind of thing!

yer- we currently go to a tricks class to give him some mental stimulation. I'm sure he would love herding though- but too young yet though. Thing is last time he saw sheep- he didn't do anything- we were at a relatives house and he thought it would be far more interesting to play with the other dogs- didn't care about the sheep.
