Hello 
I wondered if anyone has any tips- I have a 9 month gsd who was perfect until he hit 5 months at which point he decided other dogs are far more interesting than me!
We’re working hard on recall to play/toys and recall games (he won’t take treats even when bored at home or if he hasn’t eaten for 2 days so foods out).
But he’s obsessed with other dogs and will constantly try and chase if they are running.
He’s on a long line and I never let him run upto/after other dogs but that doesn’t stop off lead dogs running right up to up at which point he flys to the end of his long line after them and is really distracted after trying to get to them. The exception to me letting him chase was last week when he was between my legs being attacked by a small dog and I refuse to restrain my dog to be attacked.
Is there anything I can do to stop the ‘chase’? Once he has started he can’t even hear me :/
He’s my first dog so I’ve probably made a lot of mistakes but I’m doing my best!
thanks
