If you can not call her reliably out of the chase, she’s not 100% reliable off leash, and should not be off-leash outside the safety of your fenced yard. Not only is she a menace to the local wildlife, she could also get hurt herself if her chase took her into a dangerous location.
One word: leash.
Leash, or a e collar and shock her when she goes into the chase.
um well shocking collar i guess and a leash
Unfortunately there are many breeds that will chase and kill and depending on your breed it is difficult to stop an instinctive action on the part of the dog.You will have to place your dog on a long leash a flexi collar or walk the dog in an area where th danger of rabbits are not present but it sounds like you are in the country so it is a little difficult.No animal behaviourist can solve this problem although if you had full control of your dog re some Obedience training and it will come back when called despite its yen to chase and kill then you would have some hope but it is Mother nature so you have a choice,long leads or try a good Obedience school and learn all the ways to command and recall your dog but l must admit although l am an Obedience trainer l have yet to always have success but most times l do and this is due to the Obedience training l have done with my dogs which will immediately return on command,Its up to you which course you take
First of all keep her on a leash, scold her when she tries going after one and dont let go no matter what. But no matter what she will always try because it is their instinct. They come from wolves, who are wild, who hunts. So dogs still have instinct to hunt and the are carnivors so they should have raw meat once in a while.
keep her on a leash or soon all the rabbits will be gone (ha) and she’ll hve nothing to chase.
