| The reason I thought the dog might be off lead when this was happening was the indication of "what to do?". That idea was reinforced with the statement that the e collar was used for corrections.
If you have a leash and collar - use them. Why not use the obedience you are training, to give a command and correction before the dog is in drive? Practice at a bit of distance from where cars are going past, then moving closer over time. Put the dog under command and correct for breaking that command. Place yourself and the dog in a static position (dog in a sit) and correct before the dog lunges. I would use a flooding technique for something like this. Start at distance until that is mastered and move closer until you are able to stand at the edge of the road without the dog lunging. Shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks of meaningful work. |
