Subject: RE: BS: Dog Chasing Cars..Help
Bobert and Spaw - Yes on those counts - "Grrrr - wap - Grrrr - wap - Grrr - - wap" is how I remember it. I have no clue on whether it worked or not. I was too young to remember most of it. But you know how a piece of a memory will attach?

When I worked on the Reservation there was one of the guy's places that had a dog who did not like white guys. Had to watch him like a hawk or get dog bit. He would regularly attack my car as I was leaving (never got me but figured the car was a good second choice I guess). When I traded that car in the dealer was trying to figure out where all of the teeth marks in the rear bumper came from. That dog bit the crap out it!!

The best is really what others have stated - a fence. Dogs chase things because they see them as a threat to their space, territorial instinct and all dogs have it, and when they chase a car the car runs away. Simply reinforces their notion that they are successfully protecting the property.

Probably have gone on too much about this - but a fence works - every time if correctly installed!

Would Cletus go "Grrrr - whoops!!! - Grrrr - Whoops!!! ????
