How Do You Get a Dog to Stop Chasing Cars?

We only have 1 dog, but wouldn't even think of
allowing him to run loose to chase anything. There's
always the chance of them getting hit by another car
in their frenzy to catch the one they're chasing.

This is a bad habit that is easily remedied.

If you love these animals, and I'm sure you do,
keep them on a leash when you take them outside
or in a fenced area so that at least, they are safe.

You could be saving yourself some big vet bills,
or the needless loss of a beloved pet.

For the dogs' safety and your neighbors' safety, they should either be fenced in or (if you can't afford fence) leashed. Most cities (and even my tiny little town) have ordinances prohibiting dogs from running free.

We always kept our dogs in a fenced yard. One was a German Shepherd. He was extremely smart and obedient. He'd sit at the side of the house while my dad was gardening. He was very protective if anyone came around, but if my dad told him to stop (growling, or getting up) he would immediately obey. My in-laws keep their dogs in the house most of the time. I think they need to be trained, or they need physical barriers.

This request is for my daughter (who has no internet access). How do you get a dog to quit chasing cars?
