Dog Aggression Problem?
My pet chow is a goofball. He is mostly an out of doors dog and stays in my front backyard which is about 3.5 acres and fenced in. The fence follows my subdivision highway as i reside on the bottom of the drive. In any case he actually isnt that aggressive of a dog, simply very protecting which is okay (i dwell in rural nation hes a great guard canine lol) he has this weird thing about cars going up the highway though. If I’m inside and never close to him and he is outsde and a automobile drives by he could bark at them but usaully doesn’t even move. Nevertheless, if I’m outdoors anyplace or if i hear him bark and i go to test on him, as quickly as he sees me he’ll take off down the hill of my backyard and bark and chase following the automotive driving up the road (following the fence line in fact) i’ve asked my neighbors if he ever does that throughout the day while i’m at work and so they say no.
Its humorous too becasue I’ve tested this by watching a automobile go by and he does nothing till he sees me. Its like he waits for me to take a look at him!I scold him while he does this and he listens so nicely in any respect other times. Its just when he chases the cars that he doesn’t listen and he doesn’t care about his punishment afterwards. I have never praised him for doing anything like this and scold him every time. What offers right here?

sounds like the dog is out to prove his devotion to you. lol.
try walking outside and as soon as he starts barking, quickly go back into the house. don’t give him attention (not even negative attention) as that’s exactly what the dog’s looking for. that means no scolding, no contact w/ him, no looking at him, just a straight bee line for the house. it might take a while to sink in, but the dog will begin to understand that barking and chasing away evil "owner-eating" cars will not yield a reward to him in any way shape or form.
Lol, he’s a dog.
He’s looking for your approval. Actually, since he IS looking for your reaction. Not giving him one is probably best. Just ignore him. If he starts barking etc. Walk away or turn your back.
Totally normal, and unless your worried about a doggy trail in the grass. Don’t worry about it haha.
I would suggest putting him on a leash when your outside. Leash correct him when he "fixates" (stares) at a car or goes for it. Once he’s learned not to react on a 6′ lead, move to a 15′ lead and do the same. Give a verbal command (like NO or STOP) in a firm voice just before correcting him with the lead. Eventually he’ll learn off lead to respond to that command.
See Chows are smarter then all other dogs, what your Chow is doing is typical of trying to outsmart the owner. He goes and chases the cars aka "enemy" away when YOU look at him because he wants you to think hes "hard at work" guarding the house when your not home… when in actuality hes snoozing in the sun:)
