Hi,
I have a 10 month terrier mix- a rescue adoption from 2 months ago. He's a great dog, very responsive, but loves to chase birds- uncontrollably. I walk him 2x/day at a local park but can't let him loose because he loses all control and would never come back to me. I have used a long clothesline- about 50 feet, to let him run w/o worrying about him running away, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't let him do that- as it only encourages him more. He's making good progress in most other areas, but totally loses it around other animals- especially birds!
Is it just terriers? Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
