Chasing is a natural behavior for dogs – it’s something they’d have done to find food in the wild. While the drive to chase can differ from breed to breed, and even from dog to dog, with herding and hunting breeds in particular enjoying a good chase, most dogs will show chasing behaviors at one time or another.

If your dog loves to chase other animals, when on a walk, for example, you might be wondering how to get them to come back to you. When your pup’s in the middle of chasing something – or someone – it can seem as though they’re in their own world, but it is possible to teach your dog that coming when you call them is worth their while. And, all you need are patience, encouragement, and one of the best dog toys!
