15 Wild Kentucky Squirrel Chaser

Marina adopted a black lab mix from a shelter that is absolutely obsessed with chasing squirrels.  It is a serious and traumatic problem, where a lack of training is resulting in a truly dangerous and upsetting situation.  Out of control dogs are unlikely to end up living long and happy lives.  Fortunately, it’s possible to harness this energy, and then use it in training.  Along the way, you need to hand feed your dog, and train them to enjoy playing tug and fetch with you.  By playing games with your dog and slowly increasing the level of distractions, you can gradually attain higher and higher levels of control.
