How do you get dogs to stop chasing cars?

We already had a 5 month old puppy and never had a problem with it until a stray showed up. Now both of them are chasing cars and I don’t want any harm to come to them. What is a humane way to stop this behavior?

You either need a fence or keep them on leashes. When my dog goes outside we have this long lead thing that keeps her in the yard she can get on the porch when she wants to or she can get on our drive way but she cannot go in the road, she used to chase cars… now she doesn’t. =]

TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN!!! My friends got a Collie and she always would bark, chase, and even nip at car tires. They immediately got her a shock collar and shock remote, but trained her by barely using the shock and mainly using the beep sound. After several weeks of training, she won’t even attempt to chase a car!!! I was so surprised when I went over to visit them last, I didn’t have to worry that I was going to hit their dog! To those people who think that shock collars are abusive, they really aren’t. The beeping sound is the primary use of the whole collar and your dog will soon recognize not to ignore it. Also, the shock is just enough to make your dog a little scared, its not like it is electrocuting them or hurting them extensively.

It’s called a prey drive. Lots of dogs have it. But most dog owners use it to train their dogs.
Try throwing a ball, a Frisbee, a smooth stick. Insist that she return it to you. Try it short distances at first. Praise her when she returns it to you. Good fetch, Good …name…., Good Fetch, every time she does it correctly.
You can train both dogs to not be distracted by cars…..but it takes a while.
I wouldn’t let any of my dogs anywhere near where cars are if I were you.
