I have found that a lot of herding dogs do this. It is like they are herding sheep. This problem could be done away with if people would not allow dogs to roam the streets.Dogs that chase people when riding their bikes or anything in motion?My dog likes to wait for me at the gate, which is the beginning of the driveway. He races my car to the house. He always wins since it is a dirt road.Dogs that chase people when riding their bikes or anything in motion?
Predator/prey instincts?
Our dog chases falling leaves too.Dogs that chase people when riding their bikes or anything in motion?Herding breeds, such as Border Collies, Aussies, Kelpies, are trying to control the bike and herd it to where they want. They are trigured by the movement. Other breeds do it too, but you'll see it a lot in the herding breeds. Other dogs want to play or are being territorial.Dogs that chase people when riding their bikes or anything in motion?
It's just something that is either fun to do, or threatening to them.
For my father's dog, it's the latter. Anything on wheels, is threatening to her, and therefore she feels the desire to attack. My father learned quick to keep a good hold of the leash.
This is an instinct referred to as "Prey Drive" basically, something is running, and they see it as a target, for some dogs probably more in an innocent way, however. It's just natural, my Huskies chase, and attack anything that moves (Insects, birds, squirrels, cats, rodents, snakes, etc.)
