Thread: How to stop my Dog chasing the Quad

Got myself a border collie last year to use both as a hunting dog, and a working dog on the farm. She is 10 months old, super keen, very intelligent, loves to hunt, just doesn't like guns, loves to go fishing. Usually easy to train and obedient, works the cattle, although too keen at times. My problem is that when I use the quad or the ute, she goes nuts, just loves to run, but we have a few minutes of endless circles and trying to bite the tires before she runs off flat out in front of the bike. Running in front I can deal with, its not gonna get her squashed. But I would prefer it if she ran beside the bike or ute, but she is so damned keen and excited she forgets all her commands. Same happens if the boss goes past on his bike - sometimes I can control her, but often she takes off to go to work with him.

I have her on sit, stay, come here, back, steady, etc commands, no problems. And as we spend more time working the cattle, I think maturity and experience will take the edge of the keeness to work, but for 10 months she is pretty amazing - except for the bike thing.

Any body got any ideas before I track down a shock collar.
