Well, to get back on topic, i think it was a great idea said earlier about letting Brinley meet the jogger! That might just let him feel a bit more comfortable about the man running past him
My dogs are all very obedient, but the labs are gundogs and if they get the scent of something, or see something in the distance i couldnt say 100% that they would come back to me everytime i call. So, if i am somewhere with lots of people/kids/cyclists they do all stay on their leads until we're somewhere away from people. I just find life easier that way. There are so many people quick to call dogs "dangerous" if they run up to them or bark, better safe than sorry for me!
But, its your dog and only you really know him so you do what you think is best, take some advice and leave the rest. Thats what a forum is about

That would have been in reply to the last bit: "but any other ideas are welcome,thanks."
English is my second language and I can't 'woffle'.. That's why I don't reply to a lot of posts, because I often come across as rude (straight to the point - my definition).

Of course not everyone may choose to accept your advise but it may be of help to some readers .

The OPs may find this site of some help
The trainer/behaviourist is an ex police dog instructor as well as being a reward based trainer. There are many useful and interesting articles on the site:http://www.dog-secrets.co.uk/behavio...g-chasing.html
I suspect the problem may be due to concern over this particular jogger than actually a chasing problem in which case probably the dog needs to be helped to change his conditioned emotional reaction, this can be done via desensitising method I'd think.
Probably best to combine d/s with chase recall ....

I suffer from that!

It does irritate me however when in the park (I mean Jess doesn't react to joggers, but I know some dogs do) and a jogger just appears behind. It makes me jump, so must make the dogs jump. IMO joggers should "indicate" their presence somehow if approaching dogs(and people to that matter lol), just so it isn't as much of a surprise (which is what makes the dog react more-so).
