Heres a question I always asked myself but never found a  satisfactory answer. Why do dogs chase cars.

Below is the most accurate site I could find on this topic

Before humans ever came along dogs were just another creature  that lived in the wild. As time elpased humans began to train dogs and take them on as pets. What dogs are doing when they are chasing cars (or in actual fact chasing anything) is reverting back to how they used to be 1000s of years ago.

Dogs by their nature used to have to hunt to put their meals on a table.

The other side of the coin is the fact that they like to chase kids on bikes, cats, small animals and other dogs because they are playing a game.

This can be quite frightening for young kids. My own 2 girls love  dogs but are still afraid of them if they threaten to jump up on them.

If things turn ugly you have to take heed. Be concerned if your dog starts to nip at a persons heels or wont let go of a person. This could just be playful antics at first but it is more likely to become something more serious if precautions are taken on early.
