| Re: Chasing
I had the exact same problem with Cajen a year or so ago.....she would obey well until she felt she was "out of range" of having to listen.....and when my horses would thunder past she would be in hot pursuit.
The day came when I saw her narrowly miss getting connected by a hoof......so I went out and bought an electronic collar. Of course I bought the expensive one with a 1/2 mile range on it so that she couldn't POSSIBLY chase the horses out of range.
She's so much better now......I trained in conjunction to voice command.....I would give her two verbal commands and then shock if she wasn't listening.....then she got smart and continued chasing until just after the first verbal command.....now she knows that going under the horses fence alone will get her a shock. So she doesn't even bother now.
Hope this helps!!!
