but the girls do like to chase the squirrels when they see them and cats for that matter

I don't encourage it but all mine hate cats and chase them outta the garden, Hazel was attacked by a stray in our shed, since then she hates them and has passed the hate onto the other dogs Encouraging dogs to chase small animals - is it acceptable? 658515

I would never encourage my dogs to chase anything. sometimes its difficult to stop them though, they love the rabbits, but I honestly don't think they would do any harm if they did catch them.
