How to control predatory chasing in dogs with David Ryan

Throwing a ball for their dog to chase is an enjoyable experience for many owners. For other owners canine chase behaviour turns into a nightmare when their dog chases cyclists, cars, sheep or other dogs. When their dogs choose what to chase it can compromise owners financially, cause the target severe injury or even death, and threaten the life of the dog.

He is an accredited Clinical Animal Behaviourist and the current chair of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors.
