Chasing Other Dogs

Please can you help?

I have a male lab which is now 12 months old.

I seem to have difficulty keeping the dogs attention as he seems more
interested in his surroundings than me, although he will play with me when
indoors!

I have tried treats and toys to work until he sees another dog. Once he sees
a dog he will run straight accross roads etc to get to it! No matter how
many times I shout him he won't come back.

This is very frustrating indeed, and sometimes i fear for his safety.

Please help.

Thank you.

Labs are great big overgrown pups for at least two years, probably
three. Getting into trouble is what they do best, and they are good
at it.

Buster, my 3 1/2 yr. old is just starting to settle down.

You have to mind them constantly. Don't let him off his leash,
just a moment of inattention and he's gone.

He will come around soon enough.
