Animals & Wildlife (Q&A)

Answer:

There are many reasons as to why dogs chase cars and other moving things like bikes, skateboards etc. These reasons are:

• It is an instinctive reaction, dogs have evolved from wolves and chasing is an instinct that has been passed to dogs
• Some dogs have a strong prey drive and when they see cars in motion, it triggers their drive.
• Some dogs do not get enough exercise and opportunity to chase other dogs so they tend to chase
• Some dogs are very territorial and the moment they see an unfamiliar moving object they chase it
• Dogs generally spray their urine on cars and other vehicles and whenever such vehicles enter another locality the dogs consider it as an intruder.
