Training them to respect cars

[Rex Ryan]

My Dad's 11 month old dog Willie was killed yesterday in his driveway after he ran under the tire of someone leaving his house.

Really sad, since he's beeen a real family favorite with all the grandkids and my Dad was reallly attached.

How can you best avoid these kinds of accidents?

Aww I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I knew the answer to your qestion.

About all I can advise is to keep the dog contained away from the area the vehicles are, whether this is done with a fence or an underground containment fence. That is honestly going to be your best option.

I am really sorry to hear about your loss. My Carbon was almost 11 months old when he was hit by a car. It is just simply heartbreaking. My thoughts are with your family

My dogs are all trained so that whenever they hear a car coming they sit down on the grass next to the hedge (or fence or whatever when we are out for a walk) and do not move until i tell them to. It takes a little time but once one does it the others usually learn from them and it saves a lot of accidents.
