Re: Chasing cars........Help!!!

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!

Ok. Best of luck. I'm sure she'll cotton on soon enough with her clever little collie brain.

Re: Chasing cars........Help!!!

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...........

Re: Chasing cars........Help!!!

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

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.
