Ok, I can't stand it anymore, I'm so scared. I need some help with Maggie and Autumn. Maggie has been to about 3 different obedience classes (each one was about 8 or so session things) and she got REALLY good at listening to commands. She is still pretty good, but, when we got out to the bus in the mornings (dont have my dl yet, so my mom drives us out to the bus cause our drive way is about 1/4 mile long, and it goes right to the highway) and the dogs usually come with. Maggie is really bad at this, but Autumn is a little better. When a car comes by, Maggie will chase it, but, she hides on the opposite side of our car, in which the other car is coming, and when it gets close, she goes running out, and barks at it and chases it. She gets VERY close to it. She doesnt chase it chase it, only for like 10 feet after our drive way, but I close my eyes every time a car comes, cause I'm afraid she is going to get hit. Usually, we end up opening the doors to the car, and holding their collars when we see a car coming. If we dont hold them, even if we yell as loud as possible, niether of them listen. I dont know what to do anymore, I dont want to have to hold thier collars all the time, but we dont have a kennel or anything, our dogs have always been aloud to roam about the farm as they please, but now, they are starting to roam a little TOO far, which leads me to my next problem.... Autumn...

Autumn has never been to an obedience class, and I have tried and tried to train her at home, but it never seems to stick in her head. We dont have obedience classes that I know of until late May, but when they start, Autumn will for sure be going. Autumn is TERRIBLE at coming when I call her. She acts like she is deaf. When I call her, she usually runs the other direction. She also comes out the drive way with us, but she doesnt have much of a problem with chasing cars as she does talking a little "walk". She will run down the highway wherever she wants, and she goes into the neighbors yard (which is about a 1/4 mile away) every day. I yell at her to come back but she hardly ever does. It frustrates me, because it bothers me a lot when other peoples dogs come to our house, but my own dog goes to our neighbors house.

I dont want to risk our dogs getting hit by cars anymore, but I dont know what to do!??! I really dont want to get a kennel and have to lock them up all day, so if I can find a way around it, I'm going to. I really need some help, any suggestions are welcome!! Thanks in advance!
