How To Prevent PitBull Chasing a Bicycle?
Out walking, your pit bull may return obediently to heel most of the time, but if a bicycler or jogger appears on the horizon, its predatory instinct is triggered and the pursuit begins. This behavior is really a big problem for the owners. They may approach the vet or a dog trainer to modify the behavior. But you ought to do some simple training to your pit bull to modify this hatred behavior.
1. Your Pit Bull should have two sessions of strenuous daily exercise on a long line (9ft/3m).
2. You should give him obedience and agility training to challenge her mentally and provide an additional physical outlet. You should play retrieving games and give him toys such as puzzle feeders when he's alone.
3. You should teach her the "leave" command by slowly propelling a toy across the floor, and rewarding him when he comes straight to them rather than pursuing the toy.
4. When a bicycler appears, your pit bull should be given the command to "leave". A ball should be thrown in the opposite direction for him to chase, and should be rewarded every time she obeys.
5. If you cannot find extra time to look after pit bull and keep him stimulated, you should consider parting with him.

An old buddy of mine had a similar problem with a very aggressive dog that persisted in biting at the tires of his low-slung sports car. He cured the dog of this by lacing a burlap gunny sack through the outside of his right rear wire wheel. When the dog viciously attacked his car as he drove slowly by, he simply goosed the accelerator. The dog never bothered him again.
